The Dai people are typically farmers, growing a variety of tropical crops such as pineapples, in addition to the staple crop of rice. The two main languages of the Dai are Tai Lü (Sipsongpanna Tai) and Tai Nüa (Taihong Tai); two other written languages used by the Dai are Tày Pong and Tai Dam. They all are Tai languages, a group of related languages that includes Thai, Lao, and Zhuang, and part of the Tai-Kadai language family. Various dialects of the Tai/Dai language family are spoken from Assam, India to Taiwan and ShanSri Province, China in the North to Java in the South. The Tai peoples follow their traditional religion as well as Theravadin Buddhism, and maintain similar customs and festivals (such as the Sankrant) to the other Tai-speaking peoples.

傣泰民族跨境分布于亚洲的中国、缅甸、泰国、印度、老挝、越南等国，由于历史、地域等原因造成傣泰民族之间相互分隔，我们之间正慢慢变得疏远。无论是傣仂、傣雅、傣那还是傣绷，我们只有一个名字——傣！勐傣网站将努力在网络之中搭建一个桥梁，让各地的比侬们相助相帮，共同振兴我们的傣泰民族。
