Guite people, Paite people, Sukte people, Thadou people, Zou people
The Tedim people, also called Tedim Chins[1][2]
and Tiddim (Hai-Dim) people,[3]
are a Zomi ethinic group, part of the Chin people, primarily inhabiting the Tedim Township in the Chin State of Myanmar. They speak the Tedim language, a northern Kuki-Chin language.
The Tedim people were early adopters of the Zomi identity, founding the Zomi Baptist Convention in 1953, after a careful discussion of nomenclature.[4] According to Khup Za Go, most people called "Chins" by the Burmese do not recognize that name as their identifier, and also feel the Burmese use of it to be abusive or degrading.[5] However, the Burmese government never accepted the term "Zomi" and most outsiders do not recognize it either, and so "Chin" is often added to the label "Zomi".[6]
The Bible was translated into the Tedim language in 1983, although the New Testament had been translated into and published in it in 1932.
