Tamang (རྟ་དམག་; Devanagari: तामाङ; tāmāṅ), are a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group of Nepal, Southern Bhutan and North-east India.

[1] The Nepali Tamangs are concentrated in the central hilly and Himalayan Pahadi regions of Nepal.

[10] The Tamangs, who have lived on hills outside the Kathmandu Valley to the southern slopes of Langtang, Ganesh, Jugal Himal and Rolwaling probably since prehistoric times, have been mentioned in various Nepalese and colonial historical records under a variety of names, such as Bhote, Lama, Murmi and Sain, some of which terms erroneously conflate the Tamangs with Uighurs.

Afterwards, the Gorkhas washed their weapons in springs at Dapcha Kuwapani, and this is why the modern-day Tamangs do not drink there.

Tamangs also had various forced labor obligations, both in times of peace and war, that differed significantly from other regions of Nepal.

(Nepali: नेपाल-चीन युद्ध), also known as the Sino-Gorkha war and in Chinese the Campaign of Gorkha (Chinese: 廓爾喀之役).The war was initially fought between Nepalese Gorkhas and Tibetan armies over a trade dispute related to a long-standing problem of low-quality coins manufactured by Nepal for Tibet.

[13][14][15] Research indicates that the Tamang are a hybrid population with genetic contributions from both Tibetan and Nepalese ancestries.

Colorful printed Buddhist mantra cloths are put up in various places in villages and towns.

[9] Tamang is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken predominantly in Nepal, with significant communities in Sikkim and West Bengal, India.

[21] The 2011 Nepal census classifies the Tamang people within the broader social group of Mountain–Hill Janajati.
