The Duthaji include three general subgroups, the aforementioned Lahiri, the Sañuan and other Sañu-Jutean peoples, and the ''Dǫwá'' or pre-Sañuan people. Like the term Duthaji itself, ''Dǫwá'' is most likely another polyphyletic grouping, referring to several unrelated peoples. The Lahiri, Sañuan, and Dǫwá peoples are distinct in terms of ethnicity, culture, and language, and are primarily united together only to be differentiated from the settler-colonial [[Neviran]] and [[Balak]] people of the island. Most Duthaji do not identify strongly with the term, preferring more specific labels, although it has been used for political organizing in the past and is used by some Lahani governments for legal purposes to this day.

Duthaji (High Thap: dòùtháájį /dɤ̀tʰɑ́ɟḭ/, 'people') is the term used to refer to all pre-Neviran ethnic groups on Lahan. It is often used interchangeably with Indigenous Lahani, although some scholars argue that it is inaccurate to refer to the relatively late-arriving Lahiri people with that label.

The Duthaji include three general subgroups, the aforementioned Lahiri, the Sañuan and other Sañu-Jutean peoples, and the Dǫwá or pre-Sañuan people. Like the term Duthaji itself, Dǫwá is most likely another polyphyletic grouping, referring to several unrelated peoples. The Lahiri, Sañuan, and Dǫwá peoples are distinct in terms of ethnicity, culture, and language, and are primarily united together only to be differentiated from the settler-colonial Neviran and Balak people of the island. Most Duthaji do not identify strongly with the term, preferring more specific labels, although it has been used for political organizing in the past and is used by some Lahani governments for legal purposes to this day.
