Those who are known to the outside world in the following terms today – CHIN, CHIN-KUKI-MIZO-ZOMI or KUKI- CHIN-MIZO – are in fact belonging to a single ethnic group of Mongoloid Stock. The term, CHIN, was orignally a Burmese word and KUKI a Bengali. However, they had known themselves – and called themselves as well – from ancient times only in any of the following terms: ASHO, CHO, LAI, MIZO or ZOMI.
There were originally around 100 tribes and sub-tribes, which have now been reduced to some 70 tribes and sub-tribes since several of them have adopted the common nomenclature of MIZO. Although all of them cannot yet agree upon a common nomenclature that encompasses them all, ZO or ZOFATE(descendants of ZO) have become more and more popular among several sectors of the society. Hence this term – ZO – is interchangably used with CHIN/ZO throughout this paper of mine(for CHIN still being the official usage inside Burma and universal).
And they do not have a common language yet as well until today, but the “Mizo language“ which is also known as the Duhlian or Lusei dialect is spoken and understood by at least about 1 million Zos. Other major Zo dialects that are spoken by more than 100 000 people are Haka(Lai), M‘ro, Thado-Kuki, and Tedim(Mantles of Merit, p. 15). The Zo dialects belong to the Sino-Tibetan linguistic groups.
