Chicken and goat are only eaten on special occasions. Water is plentiful since there is no real dry season in the region. Lintang families do not usually live together as extended families. Instead, each family tries to have its own separate home. Newlywed couples may temporarily live with their parents, but they prefer to have their own homes as soon as possible.
Men wear western-style cotton shirts and slacks.
Though the influence of Hinduism from India has been great among the Lintang, today they are nearly all Sunni Muslims . A mosque serves as the formal religious center in each village, and most men attend Friday prayers at least some of the time. Because the Lintang live in rural areas, unemployment is high. As a result, many of the men are forced to temporarily, or even permanently, move to the cities in search of jobs. Currently, there are no missions agencies working among this people group.
