Kachin: Jinghpaw...
"The Kachin, numbering possibly as many as 450,000, live in
northern Burma and in adjacent Yunnan, China and Assam,
India.   To what extent regional dialectal differences occur in the
Kachin language is unknown.   However, it may be concluded
that Burmese Kachin, known as Jinghpaw, varies from the
Indian Kachin, or Singpho, usage.   A Tibeto-Burman language,
Kachin is distantly related to the Naga and Kuki-Chin tongues.
The term ‘Kachin’ sometimes denotes a number of culturally
similar groups, including the Kachin, Atsi, Maru, and Lashi, who
inhabit mountainous northern Burma.   Many of these smaller
tribes use Kachin as a lingua franca."
