Daingnet people live in the northern Rakhine State of Burma. According to their own internal census in 1995 they numbered about 60000. In 2011 the number is estimated to be around 80000. From appearance they are indistinguishable from the Rakhine people. But Daingnet people have a distinct language and culture. Ethnically they are closely related to the Chakma people of Bangladesh and North Eastern India. The languages of the Daingnet and Chakma people are mutually intelligible.
