Khumi

Khumi is a language spoken by the Khumi people, an ethnic group primarily found in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh and parts of Myanmar. It belongs to the Kuki-Chin language family, which is a subgroup of the broader Tibeto-Burman family. Khumi has its own unique script and oral traditions, serving as a vital part of the community's cultural identity. It features complex tone and phonetic structures characteristic of many Tibeto-Burman languages. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote Khumi amid linguistic and cultural shifts in the region.
