Lusei
The Lusei tribe (also called the Lushai or Duhlian[1]) is one of the 5 major tribes in Mizoram and is considered to be the largest of the Mizo tribes. They speak a language known as Duhlian Ṭawng which came to be known as the Mizo Ṭawng (Mizo language) or Lusei Ṭawng; the language of Mizoram. It is believed that the powerful and influential Sailo chiefs spread the use of this language. The word Lusei and Mizo are often confused together. However they have differences. Lusei refers to the last batch of tribe that entered Mizoram the last and Mizo is a word used to refer to all Zo Tribes.
