👉 Zo people in the context of Kuki-Chin languages

The Kuki-Chin languages (also called Kukish or South-Central Tibeto-Burman languages) are a branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family spoken in northeastern India, western Myanmar and southeastern Bangladesh. Most notable Kuki-Chin-speaking ethnic groups are referred to collectively as the Zo people which includes the Mizo, Kuki, Chin and Zomi people.

Kuki-Chin is alternatively called South-Central Trans-Himalayan (or South Central Tibeto-Burman) by Konnerth (2018), because of negative connotations of the term "Kuki-Chin" for many speakers of languages in this group.

Zo people in the context of Mizo people

The Mizo people (historically called the Lushais) are a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group primarily from the Indian state of Mizoram. Further communities beyond Mizoram live in neighboring northeast Indian states like Manipur, Assam, Meghalaya, and Tripura, with minority populations also found in Myanmar and North America, including the United States and Canada. Mizoram is the most literate state in India, and the first to become fully literate.

Oral history of the Mizos states Chhînlung as the original homeland of the people. The nature of Chhînlung as a location or an eponym is inconclusive in answering what or where it is. This origin story is shared among various other Zohnahtlâk tribes.
