<p>True AFAIK that Kuki, like Chin, is originally an exonym. But it certainly doesn't have that status now. Some communities quite aggressively consider themselves Kuki, as evidenced by the names of their insurgent independence movements (Kuki Liberation Front, Kuki Liberation Army, United Kuki Liberation Front, etc.). There is an active debate within the Thadou (Kuki) community about whether their language should be referred to as "Thadou" or "Thadou-Kuki", with the latter favored by the more autonomy-minded elements.</p>

<p>"Kuki-Chin" is a pretty interesting term itself since it is tautological. A crude comparison would be saying something like <span style="font-size: 12pt;">"Deutsch-German".

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As with many groups, "Kuki-Chin" is an exonym (or rather two different exonyms sometimes combined as one) with the people often preferring to call themselves something entirely different. In the north, the name used is "Zo" or "Zou" depending on transliteration. This seems to work relatively well with some minor variations like Thado tending to </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">pronounce </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">the "z" as a post-alveolar fricative (the "z" originally comes from yod </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">*j-). However, in the South we get transliterations like "H</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">yo", "Sho", "Cho", "Khxo" etc. While these are relatively inconsequential (of the "Kayin / Karen", "Bombay / Mumbai" nature), it can cause problems with people properly identifying with a word written "Zo".

To give some examples: The "Zo" language (closely related to Tedim) is spoken by a limited number of "Zo" people while the rest of the "Zo" people speak all the other Kuki-Chin languages; the name "Mizo" (for the language a.k.a Lushai/Lusei or Hualngo) literally means "people (of) Zo" and is but a variant of the term "Zomi" literally meaning "Zo people" (the former refers to a specific group/language; the latter is commonly used to refer to all Zo people as in "The Zomi Baptist Convention" which has apparently recently become "The Chin Baptist Convention"); Laizo (literally "Middle Zo") is a distinct language from "Lai" allowing a theoretical distinction between a "Laizo" and a "Lai Zo".......

<p>I spend a good bit of time in southeastern Manipur among speakers of languages which Ethnologue labels "Monsang Naga", "Anal Naga", etc. And while all the communities are indubitably Naga, and quite assertive about it, I have never heard anyone refer to any of the languages that way -- they are simply "Monsang" etc. (They do, however, object vociferously to hearing their languages called "Old Kuki", which is where they fall in terms of genetic classification. We are now replacing that term with "Northwest Kuki-Chin", which is still not popular but at least doesn't make people visibly angry).</p>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It is certainly important to have the input of the communities involved, so I asked my collaborator Dr T. Temsunungsang for his opinion on the issue, as he is ethnically Ao, a Naga, a Mongsen Ao speaker, and a linguist. He is currently not subscribed to the TB discussion list, so with his permission I have shared his response with list members below:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hi Alec,
<div dir="auto">Interesting discussion there. For the Aos, i believe identity starts from the village. So, in the past, if you ask what language an Ao speaks, most probably you would get the village name. But after standardisation, it has become Ao for most speakers. I think this is true for the other tribes as well. Hence, the word Naga has no role in the linguistic identity. In recent times, we have started using Aoo (Ao language) to refer to the language. A similar case with Poumai, using Poula (language of the Poumais). </div>
<div dir="auto">But as you have mentioned, the word Naga has a very strong political and culture related attachment to the people. </div>
<div dir="auto">I agree with you that linguists should stop using the word Naga for linguistic affiliation. It mixes up separate fields, leading to misuse and abuse. </div>
<div dir="auto">And perhaps Ethnologue can start this process by removing Naga from all the language names!</div>
<div dir="auto">Best</div>
<div dir="auto">Temsü</div>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>While I appreciate the points made in previous posts concerning the potential social ramifications of using particular labels, as linguists we need to distinguish clearly between using labels for social or political identities, and using labels for linguistic affiliations. They do not necessarily coincide, so why contribute to the confusion by continuing to pretend that they do in our classifications? This logically applies to our choice of labels not only at the individual language level, but also at the group level. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Nathan,</p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It might differ with different groups. For example, using the ethnic term Kachin to refer to the language Jinghpaw, as was done in the past, is problematic because there are people who are classified as Kachin but whose native language is not Jinghpaw. In China speakers of many different languages were lumped together under a single name (e.g. "Zang", usually translated as "Tibetan", but not what the Tibetans call themselves, and includes people who don't speak Tibetan, such as the majority of Qiang speakers; see Poa, Dory & LaPolla, Randy J. 2007. Minority languages of China. In Osahito Miyaoka and Michael E. Krauss (eds.), <em>The Vanishing Languages of the Pacific</em>, 337-354.

<p class="MsoNormal">It would be fine with me to drop the label "Naga" from linguistic classifications; it's quite confusing. I'm particularly concerned about the language group perspective for changes made, but it's typically not a big deal for language family and branch, etc. names to change, as long as the new name doesn't seem to favor one group. <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, language names are another matter. Language names are not linguistic - they're social. Ethnologue's use of Chin and Naga in language names is not a classification tool but a reflection of the group's own socio-ethnic grouping. It's part of their language's name and identity.<span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If it were decided to remove Naga from all the names, that would not thus mean that the groups don't refer to themselves as Naga. We would at least need a comment that this language group identifies itself as part of a socio-ethnic group called the Naga. Should Chin then be removed from all names as well? What about Karen? Where do we stop? What is our criterion for including or not including it? Ethnologue doesn't typically include branch names in the language names. However, it does include socio-ethnic group names where those are salient, as is the case for these 3 groupings. <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think we would also need to hear more from these communities. In the pre-internet days, very few community members had access to the Ethnologue. Now, communities regularly access it and even use it in usually good ways to get recognition and promote their people. On the Myanmar side at least, Naga, Chin, and Karen identity is salient. People I've talked to want to have Naga/Chin/Karen in their name, even for groups like Chin, Anu-Hkongso, which isn't a Kuki-Chin language.<span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;">I believe it is time to drop the label "Naga" from any linguistic classification, because is will continue to mislead non-specialists into assuming that these "Naga" languages of Myanmar and the so-called "Naga" languages of northern, central and southern Nagaland and adjacent regions of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur somehow form a robustly attested branch of Sino-Tibetan. The term "Naga" has become an important political tool for helping to establish an ethno-nationalistic identity for disparate and marginalized minorities in the northeastern border region, but it lacks credibility as a linguistic label. This is because we currently know that it includes at least 2 and possibly even 3 or 4 more separate branches – subgrouping is still a work in progress, and we just don't have enough reliable descriptions at present to make any strong claims beyond Burling's (1983) Sal branch. I have been campaigning for a revision in naming conventions for these languages in recent publications, and also consulting with Ethnologue to address the currently misleading nature of "Naga" nomenclature (e.g. see <a href="https://www.ethnologue.com/language/nsa/feedback">https://www.ethnologue.com/language/nsa/feedback</a>). Ethnologue is currently considering adopting a number of these recommendations, so following suit with similar naming conventions for the languages of Myanmar would be consistent with the revisions. </span></p>
