Bodo-Kachari peoples

The Bodo-Kachari peoples are a group of Tibeto-Burman-speaking communities of north-eastern India, among them the Bodo, Dimasa, Tiwa, Garo, Rabha and Chutia, whose languages belong to the Boro-Garo branch. Living in the Brahmaputra valley and the surrounding hills, they founded several medieval kingdoms, including those of the Chutias and the Dimasa Kacharis, before the expansion of the Ahom.
