Tsaah people (Tsaah: Caakh nìŋ, [t͡sǽːh nĩ̀] (East), [sɔ́ːh nĩ̀] (West), [sáː nìŋ] (South)) are an ethnic group indigenous to northwestern Nkungu. There are three main subgroups of Tsaah people - the East Tsaah (Kwùan Caakh), West Tsaah (Kũcaagl Caakh) , and South Tsaah (Dan Caakh). The East Tsaah are the largest out of the three groups, making up the majority of Tsaah people. The East Tsaah are largely concentrated in [Hashdezi colony]. The second largest subgroup are the nomadic South Tsaah which are spread out throughout northern Seunggun and west Dugon - a region known colloquially among them as Sòk But Mùan ([sù pú mùːŋ], “place of moving feet”). There is also widespread intermixing between South Tsaahs and the local peoples of Sòk But Mùan, causing the emergence of two distinct mixed minorities - the Pusung people of Seunggun and the Supu people of Dugon. The West Tsaah mostly reside in the western portion of the Tsalu River in [X land].
