They lived mainly in the Chittagong Hills and in the regions of Mymanshing, Sylhet, and Rajshahi. The best part of the tribal population (778,425) lived in rural settings, where many practiced shifting fostering.
Most tribal people were of SinoTibetan tumble and had distinctive Mongoloid skin tone. They differed in their social society, wedding formal procedure customs, birth and death rites, food, and other social customs from the people of the rest of the country. They spoke Tibeto-Burman languages. In the mid-1980s, the percentage allotment of tribal inhabitants by religion was Hindu 24, Buddhist 44, Christian 13, and others 19.

The four biggest tribes were the Chakmas, Marmas (or Maghs), Tipperas (or Tipras), and Mrus (or Moorangs). The tribes tend to intermingle and could be distinguished from one another more by differences in their dialect, dress, and customs than by tribal cohesion. Only the Chakmas and Marmas displayed formal tribal association, although all groups enclosed distinct clans. By far the largest tribe, the Chakmas were of mixed beginning but reflected more Bengali pressure than any other tribe. dissimilar the other tribes, the Chakmas and Marmas by and large lived in the highland valleys. Most Chakmas were Buddhists, but some practiced Hinduism or animism.

Of Burmese ancestry, the Marmas regarded Burma as the center of their cultural life. Members of the Marma tribe disliked the more widely used term Maghs, which had come to mean pirates. while several religions, including Islam, were represented among the Marmas, nearly all of the Marmas were Buddhists.

The Tipperas were nearly all Hindus and accounted for virtually the entire Hindu population of the Chittagong Hills. They had migrated gradually from the northern Chittagong Hills. The northern Tipperas were influenced by Bengali culture. A small southern section known as the Mrungs showed considerably less Bengali influence.

The Mros, careful the original inhabitants of the Chittagong Hills, lived on hilltops and often prepared their villages. They had no written language of their own, but some could read the Burmese and Bangla scripts. Most of them claimed to be Buddhists, but their dedicated practices were largely animistic.
