The Tindi are an indigenous people of Dagestan, North Caucasus living in five villages in the central area around the Andi-Koysu river and the surrounding mountains in northwestern southern Dagestan.

In 1967, there were about 5,000 ethnic Tindi (T. Gudava[full citation needed]).

The basis of the Tindis' ethnic identity is their language, but its use is limited to domestic settings and is decreasing.

Therefore, the Tindis are in danger of assimilation by the Avars, whose language is the dominant local one.

Neighboring peoples are the Chamalals, Avars, Bagvalals, Akhvakhs, and Khwarshis.
