Tanling (Chinese: 曇陵) was an ancient political entity mentioned in the Chinese Tang Huiyao.[1] It was located on the Malay peninsular,[2]: 8 [3] potentially in the present-day Thailand and Myanmar.[3] Tanling was one of the vassal states of Dvaravati.[2]: 8
Tanling sent tribute to China in the 16th year of the Zhenguan era (644).[1]
Location
[edit]As mentioned in the Tang Huiyao volume 99, Tanling was located on the island in the Malay peninsular.[3] Scholars suggest that it was properly in the present Trang province of Thailand or Tenasserim region in Myanmar. Some believes it was the Tan-ma-ling Tambralinga.[3]
