Intha

The Intha ("sons of the lake") are members of a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group living around Inle Lake. They speak an archaic dialect of Burmese, and are believed to have come from the Dawei area. They often live on Inle Lake, and support themselves through the tending of vegetable farms on floating gardens.

Also, the Intha are known for their leg-rowing techniques, and are traditionally Buddhists
