The Intha (lit. "sons of the lake") are members of a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group living around Inle Lake. They speak an archaic dialect of Burmese and are believed to have come from Tanintharyi Region in the southern tip of Myanmar.
They often live on Inle Lake and support themselves through the tending of vegetable farms on floating gardens. The Intha are also well known for their unusual leg-rowing techniques.
