(3) Namhiang- Pau le Ham (Awsuah):

Tanglai-in kampau nam khat a zangh ngeisa minam i hi a, teenna mual leh guam in hong halna hangin i namhiang zui-in i pau/ i haam kilamdang i hi hi. Nidang lai hun bang nawn loin, tukhang hunah kikawmna le kizopna lampite hong hoih zaw ahih manin, kikawm kiphakna hong olzaw hi. Kam dang khatin gen leng,. kizopna in pilna le thumuhna hong piangsak na hi gige hi. Tuhun khangnote pen Kawlkam, Kalakam leh Mikang kam cihte akipan kampau tuamtuam thei/ pausiam thei ziauziau lel uh ahih manin, Zopau nangawn a siamlo liang nangawn omta hi. Zosuante’ sung zongah i namhiang zui-in, kampau akibatlohna a om hangin tawmvei om khawm peuh leng ii paute olnotak i kitheihpih ziauziau hi.

Tedim mi Halkha pau siam, Falam mi Lusei pau siam, Hualngo mi Ngawn pau siam, Hmar mi Thadou pau siam, Vaiphei mi Paite pau siam, Gangte mi, Simte pau siam, Biate mi Darlong pau siam, Cho mi Asho pau siam cih bang danin Zosuante sungah kampau kitelbaih mahmah hi. Hih in sul khat, zang khat suan i hihna ong lak hi. Kawlgam lamah Tedim kampau a zangh Zosuante’ sungah awsuah /Awkaih kilamdang tampi om hi. Gtn. Saizang pau, Sihzang pau, Teizang pau, Zopau, Khuano pau, Dim pau, Losau pau, Phaileng pau, etc.. cih bangin awkaih nam tuamtuam om a, tuate khempeuh in American Missionary Dr. J.H. Cope hong bawlsak Roman Alphabet laimal zangh khawmin, lai kinei/ kizangh khawm hi.

Tua manin Siim le maal, suah le tum Zosuante khempeuh pen i awsuah/ awkaih akilamdan hangin Roman Alphabet laimmal bulphuhin Zopau le Zolai zanghkhawm thei i hihna tawh i kampaute kitellahna bang mahmah omlo hi.

(4) Khua le Tui vai:

Sim le maal, sak le khang Zosuante khempeuh pen Ciimnuai pan piang Ciimnuai vontawite ci-in tangthu sulkanna ah kimuthei hi. Ciimnuai mun pan i pu i pate in khua le tui satin in na kithehthang uh a, mual le guam haalna hangin pau le haam kilamdang/ kibanglo i hi hi. Tua bak tham loin, khua le tui nuntak zia tawh kizui-in i ngeinate zong tawmtawm kilamdanna hong om hih tuak hi. Pau le ham pen amun le mual zui-in kilamdang thei mah le Zomite’ ngeina bulpite kikhelthei ngeilo hi. Tuhun ciangin i pianna le i khankhiatna khua le tui tawh kizui-in, i pau i ham kilamdang bek tham loin, I khua min khawng peuh thupisak kha thei lai ihi hi. I khua awsuah/ awkaih ciat le khuapih tuipih cih bek Zomibup in a zatkhop ding alunggulh mawkmawk peuh ki om thei hi. I gens amah bangin Kawlgam lam a om Zosuante ading in Sangmang Cope topa hong bawlsak Roman Alphabet laimal I zatkhop theih ding thupi hi.

Tua mah bangin Zomi Christian Literature Society (ZCLS) hong piankhiatna zong Cope topa’ bawlsaksa laimalte mah puahin, zuun a zatkhop ding deihna mah hikha ngel dingin ka um hi. Tua ahih manin, i gam sungah khua khat in gentuahna khat aneih leh, kei khua hilo, kei tawh kisailo, ci-a i khua le tui kipawlna nengnengte ultungsak nawnloin minam vai, gamvai, khua le tui vaite ah ahuampiin ahuai den lungsim i vom ciat ding hunta hi. Gtn – lai lam ah amasawn pawlte ahi ZCLS le ZOLLS te’ makaihna nuai ah kalsuankhawm ding kisam hi. Khua le tui kipawlna nengnengte ultunsakna le a tuamtuam zatna/ ciinna thupitsaknop luatnate in Zosuante mapankhopna tampi hong susia pelmawh ding cih i gen nuam hi.

(5) Pilna, siamna le Khuamuhna:

Rev. Dr. Gin Khan Nang (GKNang) in “ Zomite’ khuamuh cilna“ cih Thului (Article) a gelhna sungah Pianitit gamah galhuh a pai i pu i pate’ thu na gelh hi. Hih pen Zomite’ khuamuh cilna ahkl gamdang zin masak penna hi khangel ding hi. I pu le pate’ hun lai-in Zomite pen laisin kitawm, pilna tawh khuamuhna kinei masa lo cih kimuthei hi. Tuhun ciangin Zomite khuamuhna pen laisinna pan kingah Pilna le siamna, laisimna, zinna vaakna le kizopna tuamtuam tampi aneite i kicithei hi.

Pilna tawh kisai I gen ciangin ei mimal kivak zawdeuhna field khatta i nei ciat-a (Gtn – pawlkhatte music, pawlkhat lai, pawlkhat website, pawlkhat leuleu sum le pai zonna, cbt,) i pilna le khuamuhnate tehna Piciang (Ruler) tuamtuam om hi. Mipil khempeuh zong ciim khinlo uha amau kivakna zong atuampi tek ahi uhi. Scientist khat in politics lamah thanemna tampi nei dinga tuamah bangin engineer khat in cina khoi le kep dan tampi theilo ding hi. Apillo i om kei-a i pilna akibanglo hi bek hi. I gennop thu in, ei kivakna le siamna, theihnate hi taleh mi dang khatpeuh ii pilna, siamna le kivakna khatpeuh zahpih simmawh bawl ding hilo-a Zogam i lamthakna ah i kivakna mun tek pan i pantheih pen ciinhuai a ci ihi hi.

Ka zak ngei khatah “ Pianpih B.A” cih khat zong ka za ngei a, tua pen laisinna pan kingah B.A hi loin, pianpih ngiat a Cimna / thumuhna a neite a cihnopna ahi hi. Tua mah bangin kampau zattangzang khat a kizangh ngei khat” Na theih tamin na tel tawm” cih kkhat a om bang mahin, mi pawlkhatte in na khempeuh thei naal gawp pongin a taktak ciangin a tello/ a theilo takpi om thei hi. Thumuhna I cih pen sinna (Learning) le tuahkhak thu (Experience) tungtawn a kingah nam kici thei hi. Pilna siamna I cih leuleu ciangin atuam vilvel a lai le pumpi,lungsim ngiat tawh sinkhopna namte ci leng kikhiallo kha ding hi.

Tuhun in Zomite leitung mun thupi tuamtuam le i tuna gam ciatah amau hong kalh pilna le siamna I neih kei le nasep silbawlna ding mun kingah zolo hi. Kawlgam le Asia gamte pan I neisa pilna/laitante pen gam thupite ahi US, Canada, Europe le Australia gamte ah kizangh theilo hi. A hizongin amau ciangtanna le a deihna munah a kizanghthei ding khutsiamna/ hihtheihna khat peuhpeuh a neite in, pilna neite’ sangin nasep ngah baih zaw thei uh hi. Hih siamna I cih ciangin, kivakna/ teempaina ( Talent or Professional) namte ahi hi. Thukhat leuleu ah bangzah siamna/ kivakna a neih hangin, Lai theihna (pilna) nei kei leuleu zel leng gam le nam vai nasep thupite ah kithuklut theilo zel kawikawi hi.

Tua ahih manin, tuhun pen a pil taktakte mahin nasepna khat peuhpeuh ah panmun hoih ngahin a thumuhna tampite vang in mipi in muang pah uh hi. Zosuante sung zongah mipil, thumu zawte mahin I gam le nam kivaipuakna tuamtuamte ah panmun hong lak dinguh ahi hi. Thudot tham cingte mah I dot theih ding dinmun ah i koih theih ding zong mipite in nungzui hoih i sepna hi pah hi. Zomite sungah minam khantohna ding bekbek mah lunggulhna tawh kipawlna tuamtuam phuan khengkhang hi hang. Tua I kipawlnate pen asia hikhinlo-a amau munmun ciatah a mapannate uh kiciaptehpih, kithupibawlpihin atunga i kikup thu 5 te vaihawmna khatpeuh ah ultung sak lualosemkhawm, mapangkhawm le kikumkhawm thei leng kilangpanna le kidemna cihte ong bei ding ahi hi. Sim le Maal a om Zosuante khempeuh in Zomi min mah a deih le angtanpih nuam vive I hi hi. I khuamuhnate le I theihnate gawmin, I muhna le senate khanto in, kekbeh lai ding hi hang.

Thukhupna: 

Pasian huhna tawh siim le maal, sak le khang Zosuante’ sungah hong makaih dingin mipil, misiam le thumuhna zaipi a nei Zomi tampi mah kinei ta hi. Kawlgam (Siim)lam pan Zosuan kipawlna lian tuamtuam I nei khin a, India gam (Maal) lamah zong tampi mah nei hi hang. A hi zongin biakna bulphuh kipawlna le gam le namvai kipawlna tawh i khensiam a, i sepkhop siam ding bek kisam ahi hi. Bangbang lampi tawh i sem zongin, i tupna le i ngimna mongte in Siim le maal Zosuante kipumkhatna ding le Khantohna ding vive ahi ding kisam hi. India gam Zosuante sungah minam kipawlna adingin Zomi Council (ZC), ZRO, ZYA cihte le biakna le Social Development lam zongah adang tuamtuam i nei hi. Tua mah bangin Kawlgam lam Zosuante sungah zong Global Zomi Alliance(GZA), LZI, gam le nam vaiah Zomi Congress for Democrecy (ZCD/ZNC) , WZC le ZYA cihte banah Social Development lamah a tuamtuam kinei hi.

Tua ahih manin a tung a i gensate khempeuh khuituah kik hi leng, tuhun pen mapankhop hun ahih mah bangin, mapankhopna tawh I kilamdanna gamgi tuamtuamte kiphelkhia zo ding ahi hi.
