Paite Chin
Paite is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken by the Paite people. There are different Paite dialects; some notable Paite dialects are Bukpi, Lousau, Valpau, Dapzal, Tuichiap, Sukte, Dim, Lamzang and Sihzang. The language exhibits mutual intelligibility with the other languages of the region including Thadou, Hmar, Vaiphei, Simte, Kom, Gangte and other languages.[3] The name Paite could translate to 'the people who went', 'a group of people marching'.[4]
The Paites in India have adopted many words from other languages close in proximity such as Thadou, Lusei/Duhlian, Meiteilon, Bengali and Hindi. A good analogy would be to compare their similarity to that of American English and British English.[5][6]
