[5] The Taz are descendants of the intermarriage of Han Chinese immigrants and local Tungusic peoples.

In the early to middle 19th century, Han Chinese from Northeast China moved to the Ussuri River basin and engaged in ginseng harvesting, fishing and hunting.

Their language, while remaining completely Chinese grammatically, adopted some loan words from Nanai and Udege.

The 2002 All-Russian Census recorded that all Taz people regarded Russian as their mother tongue.

There are a few loanwords from Tungusic languages, such as араки ar'aki 'wine', яцзига yajiga 'daughter' (Udege ajiga), etc.
