The Tankas (蜑家/疍家, pinyin: Dànjiā, jyutpin: Daan6gaa1) or Boat people is a special group of people in China that has traditionally lived on junks in coastal parts of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan, and Zhejiang provinces, as well as Hong Kong and Macau. Though many now live onshore, some members of the older generations still live on their narrow boats and pursue their traditional livelihood of fishing.

A small number of Tankas also live in parts of Vietnam. There they are called Dan (Đản, Đàn?) and classified as a subgroup of the Ngái ethnicity.

Chillout Moods Yeha - Noha - Ly-O-Lay Ale Loya (Circle Dance) Sacred Spirits Vento soffiami addosso, portami ancora Il profumo delle praterie, mentre attraverso questo inverno; e come il lupo innalzo la mia canzone alla luna sulle note del mio flauto; aspettando te Sole Nascente. Com'eri bella mia dolce squaw, quando cavalcavi con me sulla mia sella di pelle di bufalo. Ti ho avuta ancora bambina. Eravamo come due pettirossi, che cantavano sui rami. E io mi sentivo unaquila in volo, quando lontano da te andavo a caccia. Noi indiani abbiamo la magia, di fonderci con la natura. Siamo come cavalli in corsa tra le erbe ondeggianti della prateria. Ma adesso cade la neve e, il sacro Spirito mi sta spingendo sempre più a nord.
