Chin: Ashö...
"The Chin people, numbering more than 1 million,
live in the
mountainous Chin Hills area of northwestern Burma, and in
Manipur, India. The name Chin,
which generally refers to the
300,000 Chins of Burma, is believed to derive from the Burmese
word for ‘friend’. Indian Chins, a group that includes the
Manipuri and others, are called by the
general term ‘Kuki’. The
Chins speak languages of the Tibeto-
Burman family, related,
within the Kuki-Chin language group, to
numerous tongues of
northeast India, notably Lushai."--1000 Tongues, 1972

"The Ashö, or Southern, Chins, live
in the plains of the Irrawaddy
lowlands of Burma, considerably separated from the other Chin
groups. Their name reflects a form of the root ‘zo’, which
accord-
ing to some means ‘hillsmen’, and is found in many Chin
designations, i.e. Mizo and Laizo. The Ashö language is
closely
related to the Saingbaung Chin tongue."--1000 Tongues, 1972
