Indigenous peoples of Tseng

The indigenous peoples of Tseng (Chinese: 曾島原住民), also referred to as Aboriginal Tsengians, Indigenous Tsengians, Native Tsengians, or Yuanzhumin, are the indigenous peoples of the Tseng Republic. They are numbered at about 3.2% of the population of Tseng, or 972,294 people. However, this number adds up including those with mixed ancestry, and as much as 65% of Tsengians have aboriginal ancestors.

The origins of the indigenous people are varied. There is evidence of Austronesian peoples sailing up to what is now Sanjiao Island of Sandao from Taiwan by around 1000 BC, and there is also evidence that the Yayoi peoples sailed to Tseng from the Japanese archipelago at 500 BC. However, the Austronesians make up the majority of the genetic makeup of Tsengian aboriginals.
