The Dahae, also known as the Daae, Dahas or Dahaeans (Old Persian: 𐎭𐏃𐎠, romanized: Dahā; Ancient Greek: Δαοι, romanized: Daoi; Δααι, Daai; Δαι, Dai; Δασαι, Dasai; Latin: Dahae; Chinese: 大益; pinyin: Dàyì; Persian: داه‍ان Dāhān) were a nomadic tribal confederation that inhabited the steppes of Central Asia. They are generally believed to have spoken an Eastern Iranian language, and may have been a sub-group of the ancient Iranian peoples – although there are no surviving first-hand accounts from the Dahae themselves.
