The Adi (simplified Chinese: 珞巴 or 博嘎尔; traditional Chinese: 博嘎爾, Tibetan: ལྷོ་པ་) are a conglomeration of various ethnic subgroups of the Tani people, which includes the Bokar, Bori, Pai Libo Minyong, Millang, Pasi and Padam people. They live in a region of the Southern Himalayas which falls within the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and the Mainling, Lhunze, Zayu, Medog and Nyingchi counties of the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. The present habitat of the Adi people is heavily influenced by the historic location of the ancient Lhoyu. They are found in the temperate and sub-tropical regions within the districts of East Siang, Upper Siang, West Siang, Lower Dibang Valley and Lohit within Arunachal Pradesh. The term "Adi" however, is not to be confused with the Lhoba people, since the Lhoba also includes the Mishmi people along with the Adi people. All the ethnic groups recognising themselves as "Adi" believe to be descendants of the AboTani. The older term Abor is a deprecated exonym from Assamese and its usage is now obsolete. The literal meaning ofadi is "hill" or "mountain top".
