[edit] Chakma/Reang are not Mizo

Chakma and Reang people are ethnically, linguistically and culturally different people from Mizo people. Some of them are living in Mizoram, and that's it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lpachuau (talk • contribs) 02:37, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Mizo does not means Hill People

Contrary to popular believe, the official book published by the Study Group of Arts and Culture Department, Government of Mizoram - Mizo History in India, Burma and Bangladesh mentioned that the word MIZO must have some deeper and ancient meaning. After reading this, I study the word formation and naming system of Mizo language. Wild animal means 'SA', Human means 'MI' or 'MIHRING'. So, to name a particular animal like Tiger, Horse, Bear, etc., we say Sakei, Sakawr, Savawm, repectively. And, to name a particular tribe/community like White, Black, Brown people, we say Mingo, Midum, Mibuang respectively. Mirawng for Kabui Naga, Miria for Miu-Khumi.

So, 'Mi' must means 'people' (with no doubt), but what will 'Zo' means? Surely, 'Zo' is adjective part of the word. Lpachuau (talk) 11:30, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
