The Deyatsa (Deyatsa: Teyetse /tajat͡sa/, Fazul: Delyazi /dejɑt͡si/) are a group of indigenous peoples who inhabit the island of Deyatsan, the westernmost of the Tlukerian Islands. They are closely related to, yet culturally and linguistically distinct from the Tlukerian peoples who inhabit the eastern islands of the archipelago. The various Deyatsa dialects or languages form a branch of the Shaelic language family.
The Tlukerian islands have been part of Fazulavaz since the mid 19th century.
