The Hmar language(Northern Mizo) belongs to the Mizo language branch of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages. The speakers of this language use Mizo language as their second language (L2).
Hmar is a recognised language in the School curriculum of Assam, Manipur and Mizoram, and also recently recognised as one of the Modern Indian Language (MIL) at Manipur University. Board of Secondary Education, Assam has also included Hmar as an MIL in its matriculation syllabus from 2005. Both Manipur University and Assam University, Silchar has also permitted Khawsak Hmar language to be studied as Modern Indian Language in the Graduation level.

Geographical distribution


Khawsak dialect of Hmar is spoken in the following locations

Assam: Dima Hasao district, Karbi Anglong district, Hailakandi district, Karimganj district and Cachar district
Manipur: Pherzawl district, Churachandpur district, Jiribam district and Moreh
Mizoram: Aizawl district, Champhai district and Kolasib district
Tripura: In and around Darchawi and Jampui Hills
Meghalaya: Shillong and Khaddum village
Myanmar: Tamu
Bangladesh: Bawm
Since Hmar speakers are scattered over a vast area in Mizoram, Manipur, Meghalaya, Tripura, Chittagong Hill tracts, and Cachar district of Assam state and Myanmar, there appears to be slight dialectal distinction. In Manipur, Hmar exhibits partial mutual intelligibility with the other Kukish dialects of the area including Thadou, Paite, Aimol, Vaiphei, Simte, Kom and Gangte languages.




Ṭawngkasuok


Ṭawngkasuok (Trong-ka-sook) are adages or old sayings used by the Hmar people and literally translates to "languages spoken out of the mouth." Examples include:

A chângin hmar thing a pâr a, a chângin sim thing a pâr
Ṭawng inbuo le tui inbuo rût thei an nawh
Lal ngai lo lal a kha
Pân lovah tho a fu ngai nawh
Khûpin lû a khêl thei nawh
