Lakher...
"Lakher is the Lushai name for the 9,000 or more Mara tribesmen
living in the southern Lushai Hills district of Assam, India, and
across the border in Burma.   Their language is spoken in several
dialects, including Tlongsai and Hlawthai.   According to some,
the Zotung Chins speak a Lakher dialect.   Linguistically, Lakher
has much in common with Anal."
