Anotations

Scope note:

The Mizo are a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group numbering approximately 1.1 million people, primarily inhabiting the Indian state of Mizoram and extending into neighboring northeast Indian states (Manipur, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura), as well as Myanmar, Bangladesh, and diaspora communities in North America. The Mizo speak the Mizo language of the Kuki-Chin group of Tibeto-Burman languages, and Mizoram holds the distinction of being India's most literate state and the first to achieve full literacy. Most Mizo are Christians due to nineteenth-century missionary activity, though a Jewish minority claiming descent from the lost tribe of Manasseh exists, with several hundred emigrating to Israel in the 1990s.
