Lushai...
"The Lushai people migrated into southern Assam in the mid-
19th century and conquered the Kuki tribes native to that region.
Now, numbering more than 400,000 in the Mizo Hills district of
Assam alone, the Lushais have spread into the surrounding areas
of Manipur, Tripura, East Pakistan, and Burma as well.   Except
for Manipuri, Lushai is the largest of the Indo-Burmese tribal
tongues comprising the Kuki-Chin language group.   Linguistic
similarities are noticeable - to Hmar, Kom, and Darlong.   How-
ever, Lushai has generally been classified with Banjogi and
Pankhu - Kuki dialects of the Chittagong Hills district of East
Pakistan - the Tlantlang, Shunkla, or Tashon - the names by
which Indian speakers of the Burmese languages Haka and Fallam
Chin
are known.   Many Lushais now prefer the name ‘Mizo’."
