Zo people

Index Zo people

The Zo people is the name of the tribes living in the Chin area, and those who come from the Zomi area are considered highlanders), There are many different subgroups of Zomi such as the '''Mizo''', the '''Kuki''', the '''Chin''' and a number of other names, who are part of a large group of related Tibeto-Burman peoples spread throughout the northwest of the country (Myanmar/ Burma) and the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. In northeastern India, they inhabit the states of Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Manipur and Assam. This dispersal across international borders resulted from British colonial policy that drew the borders on political grounds rather than ethnic ones. The Zomi people have typical Tibeto-Burman features and are generally of short stature with straight black hair and dark brown eyes. Natively, the Zo speak one of the fifty or so languages that linguists call the Kuki-Chin language group, which is also known as Kuki-Chin (Kuki/Chin), Mizo/Kuki/Chin, or Kuki Naga. [1]
