What ever it is language or tribe we are nagas we should stick together and not scattered again and also look deeper into our history so that we won't lost our brother and sister's again and our ancestors out there...
Chinese, Japanese, koreans were also separated by dialects and tribes but a strong person United all of them like the Ming, Qing, Han dynasty in China, Tokugawa in Japan and Joseon Or Goryeo in Korea
My village elders also said there is a tribe in China or Myanmar (I forgot, which place) deep in the jungle that speak the same lotha dialect. When they tried to contact them, they got scared and ran away. They wear the same shawals as the nagas and they are still like an isolated tribe.
Well i respect your opinion. To me it sound like Angami,Chokri n Sumi. Sumi Naga tribe may not be under Tenyimia fold but they fall under Angami-Pochuri language group and very closely related to Khezha,Chokri, Angami,Mao and Poumai languages.
@@riseabovethehorizon1513 Not "my" opinion actually. But if you ask me, I'd say Sumi language doesn't sound like tenyidie at all. (p.s.: I respect your opinion too Br. David Naga)
@@Bob-lz2cs you're not well informed about Sumi language at all then. The language that general sumi people use is very different from those people in Pughoboto area (aka Sumi Aphuye), situated along Kohima border and their sumi language and tone has lot of similarities with Angami and Chakesang language. So similar that villagers in those area understand Angami and Chakesang language and people from neighbouring villages understand their Sumi Aphuye language. N.B: Sumi Aphuye means the origin of Sumi.
These are Yi ethnic minority. Ethnic minorities in Yunaan and Burma have a lot in common with north East Indian people ( way of dress, traditional house , food , dance ).
I'm from Poumai tribe. We speak sino-tibetan (Angamis, Chakesang, Maos) also connected with some culture, language, tradation. Not gonna lie, this is like Angami language. This sound like Mao too. Adding to which *Sumi tribe little familar as per the language tone haha...sorry If i said something wrong.
There's no such as Indo-Tibetan loll... Linguistically some Nagas like Mao, Angami & Chakhesang may be similar to Yunnan Tribes. The Chin-Kuki may sound much closer to Hokkien Chinese. Most Chinese languages are classified as Sinitc while Nagas & Kukis are under Sino-Tibetan linguistic family.
Nagas are basically a mix between Sino Tibetan and Austroasiatic or austronesian tribes in China such as the Wa ethnic minority. Nagas migrated out of Tibet into Yunan and mixed with the Wa ethnic minority and from there to Burma and eventually into Nagaland. In terms of culture, Nagas are similar to Wa ethnic minority; totem worship, heading hunting, log drum and log pulling etc while genetically more like southern Chinese.
@@cyber1991 skin color is not a determinant of genetic relationship. The wa ethnic minority has similar culture to that of Nagas and have lived closely and intermarried with Nagas in Myanmar. Nagas are not directly descended from the Wa but they do have genetic and cultural input from the Wa people
these people are YI minority came from south part of sichuan province， very close to yunnan border， where I believe might be where the naga people ancestors came from over 1000years ago.
Nagas are basically a mix between Sino Tibetan and Tai Kadai tribes in China such as the Wa ethnic minority. Nagas migrated out of Tibet into Yunan and mixed with the Wa ethnic minority and from there to Burma and eventually into Nagaland. In terms of culture, Nagas are similar to Wa ethnic minority; totem worship, heading hunting, log drum and log pulling etc while genetically more like southern Chinese.
@@Quirkyfactoids123 True, culturally Nagas are like Austroasiatic and Austronesean tribes. Wa people are austroasiatic but culturally quite similar to Austronesean people.
@@ErenYeager-jp4gc yes but genetically mix between sino-tibetian and Tai-Kadai so similar to southern Han Chinese and other Southern Chinese ethnic minorities. I guess Nagas migrated out of China long before the advent of Chinese civilization. Hence they don't have much in common with the Chinese except in terms of food habits and some linguistic similarities. Distance and Geography kept Nagas away from either Chinese or mainstream indian civilization for a long time.
@@Quirkyfactoids123 Do Nagas consider themselves Indian? If I go around the streets of Kohima and make video asking people if they consider themselves Indian and their views regarding Indo-Naga conflict, what would the likely responses be?
@@fede6686 Nah, it sounds like angami or chakaesang mixed with 'Xhe' ( or khee) which is prominent in a few tribes, so probably they speaking a mix of multiple languages, phonetically atleast .
@@paulK_9im angami and its clear from our side that there's not even 1 single word similar to angami. But yeah for me it sounded like chakhesang too.
The language sounds like a mix of Chakhesang and Sumi. It does not fit into any particular word, but who knows the similarities might hold some ancient connections.
and again a fun fact: the tribe of ao and lotha have similar name and language to Japanese the ao are very similar but the lothas are mixed they have mix Manchu Chinese and Japanese language and Madrin Chinese
According to history their were three brothers Anagami the eldest, next chakhesang and Sumi the youngest. Who knows our forefathers got migrated from their.
That's interesting to know. However on the souther side it is told that Angami and Mao are two sons of the same mother. Mao being the elder brother and Angami being the younger. Upon the mother's death the two brothers decided to share their mothers shawl half in half and departed their ways. Therefore it even lays a bigger claim to the story since the shawls of both tribes are strikingly similar. Chakeshang broke away from the main Angami tribe and so did the poumais from the maos.
@@4ndr0dxx31 😬 again time....by looking at ur comments seems u are so disturbed by The Confused Nagas trying to find their Roots...😌😌 Areh....mind ur own business reH. For this Topic Leave the Nagas alone...they will do the needful. Don't force them this time😬😬 Peace be with You.✌️
Woow..... Angami dialect heard in China.... It's really great and amazing.... Please more news of this kind... Even some said they heard lotha dialect in Myanmar....
Proud to be Chakhesang. I too understand every word she said. It was easy for me to understand the language because I am chakhesang and they put the subtitles below 😎
Lady speaking sounds like this: Thie nshie ngu lo pfhola, tha gamo die mu gala, mu zonie veshi verüsie kuo gamo diemu galha, khazonhie tham guna. And it's surely the original dialect before Nagas migrated to Naga hills and the language gradually changed down the line of many generations. So intrigued that I wish Naga anthropologists look into this and make a documentary. It will be a breakthrough in discovering our roots and where we came from.
@@4ndr0dxx31 w.r.t, Language ethnicity it says Tibeto-Burmese group from Northwest china between upper waters of the yangtse kiang and Hwang ho rivers,...as a result of 2nd wave of migration from China.... That's what I remember from history book I came across. And u know very well there is no written History so It is interesting thing to know that Naga History is Unique. 😬 Peace brother....only time will tell✌️
The man speaking seems to be speaking in Chakhesang and Angami. If I were to roughly presume what he is saying it would be " Se ri ta...huyo kii se ko". This would mean in Chakhesang/Angami to be " Knowing very much....the little that is known" in English. Some research may be helpful to know more about any past links between the Nagas and these people.
@@4ndr0dxx31 again.time!!! Why don't u enlighten is with ur knowledge on the Nagas history and clear the confusion... Seems like u know quite a lot.🤣 Thank u once again.
@@4ndr0dxx31 of course....we don't deny the fact that Naga History is unknown and A mystery- that makes it more Interesting.....also there is no wrong in finding answers through language....as it is one way of connecting links between related Species😬🤣 As said once again peace brother..✌️
@@nhnaga2321Its not necessary that history has to be written down to be passed on, considering how facts have been distorted. 🤣 We do have our own oral traditions, and oral recounting is also a strong form of passing on information for generations.
There are similarities of Our Garo language spoken in all over the China.. They also called Mi or Mie which means the Rice that we also called it Mi or Mie, the rice or boiled rice.. cooked rice..
It's very good to see Nagas living in china.. Chinese has helped Nagas in many ways frm the beginning of Naga freedom movement called NNC..they trained naga army n even Arms n immonution are given freely.
I feel like we Nagas migrated from different places There is a lot of differences between the Eastern and western tribes of Nagaland too But the reason why we share some similarities is as we settled here in this present day Nagaland and neighbouring states, we've adopted and learned from each tribe and merged some practices
Our forefathers told us that nagas have come out from a big hole.So we believe that nagas had come out from within the great Wall of china through a hole of the great Wall during construction of great Wall.
Same with us Kukis. Its said they dug a whole from their underground prison to escape, where they flee and travelled southwards into Myanmar. We also have tales of how the entrance of the cave was guarded, some tribes say by a tiger, while others by a monster, etc and each tribe has their own theory of how they managed to distract the predator and escape
In our karbi tribe , our forefathers said they were fled from China thousand years ago through yangtze kiang (yellow river) during the warring period in China with huge migration from different tribes in Northeast to hide in Dense mountainous jungle in present Northeast India. At that time there was a huge plague that was past on oral tradition to our new generation but sadly our history has nothing left now😢.
Most of our ancestors believe that we the nagas came from Mongolia and China during the construction of the great wall. However our culture and traditions also similar to south east Asian. Infact, even today if we observe nicely, we Nagas are quite different from eachother... There is no actual data where Nagas came from. Even the Name, Naga was given by outsiders and not by ourselves.
As a Konyak Naga who have resided in Kohima for some years and has some familiarity with Angami language yet cant understand any... My observation can be concluded that the language indeed sounds like Angami...
As a non naga, who stayed in nagaland for long, to me a part of the language did sound similar to Angami / chakesang...i mean the pronounciation and dialect style
And why not if u see the history.... it's one of the many indo- mongoloid language that comes from Mongolia same as mandarin.. many Northeastern tribe language has similarity between many east Asian languages...
they are Yis, one of the southwestern minorities, sw minorities can be categorized in Tibeto-burman type and Tai Ka Dai type. Yi are tibeto burman people, tibeto burman is one major branch of the Sino Tibetans, the other one is Sinitics / Sino (Chinese). Chinese and Tibetan departed thousand of years ago, we share the same origin in linguistic and blood, though the difference today is enormous. So basically, you nagas are tibeto burman, some say that naga has the highest frequency of O haplegroup which is the dominant haplegroup of east and southeast asian. You can study about human genetics if you are interested, you can also test you DNA now with 23me and other services.
@@cobidbeksin5200 . Very few are mixed with bengalis. Barely 5% probably . Culture wise they are closer to sino tibetan. Before hindu culture fkk them up. Lol 😂 you think they are 50% bengali
M rongmei Naga.. Chinese people speak few rongmei dialact.. Mi, jungkui, ni hao, but the meaning is different.. Jungkui in rongmei thump, mi=this, ni=ni, hao=banana.. Tenyimi people have little similar language
The point is did any Angami, Mao understand what she said?? Because its no doubt that the accent is absolutely from Naga tribe. If there is similarities and understand the sentence they are saying, than its time to find out our history. It will be the greatest discovery.
We are definitely connected. Her name seems very much like angami and chakesang names, the language also seems very similar although as an angami I didn't quite understand but it definitely has the catch. I've heard nagas migrated from Yunnan China province. It's a very beautiful place, if the stories are true I'm really mad at our ancestors why tf did they migrated from that paradise 😂
@@truckkun1323Nagas were prisoners during the war in China and they were sent to build the great wall of China, during the construction, they escaped and migrated to present day Nagas areas here..
Nagas are basically a mix between Sino Tibetan and Tai Kadai tribes in China such as the Wa ethnic minority. Nagas migrated out of Tibet into Yunan and mixed with the Wa ethnic minority and from there to Burma and eventually into Nagaland. In terms of culture, Nagas are similar to Wa ethnic minority.
Yes it sounds like tenyimi language but it sounds like southern angami and chakhesang especially more like the latter I'm from the southern angami community and I'm shocked if how similar it is lol
@@zokomonofficial40 it would be better if you do comparison of words rather than tone /sound. Both being Sino Tibetian language I'm sure there'll be similarities.
@@Quirkyfactoids123 listen to the lady she says something like themii kone at the end which means the people (I'm not sure what it meant for them but it means the people) plus it's in the subtitle It freaked me out
The language they are speaking is from sino Tibetan language same as tenyidie which is of same language group but trust me I am Angami and it does not sound like tenyidie.
Bro im angami and can confirm this is indeed tenyidie. Even if its not i believe it have some connections. But why are they speaking a similar dialect to ours?
@@Nospaceshots so you are saying this current land doesn't belong to Nagas? Why does Nagas have to Migrate And why do we have to look for origin. The way some of you talk like these Early Britishers and Indians. Trying to make up stories of Naga migration makes Nagas seems like never belonged in these areas. You forget the fact that Nagas have lived in these areas before the Indians ever set foot here. These areas were forced into Indian territory..some of our lands are in. Burma and neighbouring states and these has been our land..
@@lnylth Nagas were war prisoners and escaped during the construction of great wall of China 1000 years ago and we came to present day naga areas and settled here and the land we settled now belongs to the Nagas. Got it?
i'd hope that i will find Angamis commenting that they understood the dialect spoken by the village folk...all i am seeing are speculations by other Naga tribes.
This is Yi ethnic (tribe) minority also called as Yinuo/Nosuo that lives here.They are Sino-Tibetan. Most of the ethnic minorities or people living in village areas can't speak Mandarin fluently. I am not sure this is Yinuo dialect. But that's how most local people speak in rural areas. Many of their ethnic dialects sounds like Nagas and only some linguistic researcher can find out the connection. But it's not right to simply make a conclusion without finding out the fact.
