Matisoff, Chair The Kuki-Chin languages constitute one of the most important subgroups of the great Tibeto-Burman family. This dissertation attempts to reconstruct the sound system of the ancestor language, Proto-Kuki-Chin, by comparing the initial consonants, rhymes, and nominal tones of a large number of KC languages. This study of Proto-Kuki-Chin depends primarily on twelve languages: three from the Central Chin group: Mizo (aka Lushai), Hakha Lai, and Falam Lai; four from the Southem- Plains Chin group: Mindat Cho, Daai, Asho (aka Plains Chin), and Khumi; four from the Northern Chin group: Tedim (aka Tiddim), Paite, Thado-Kuki, and Sizang; and finally one from the Maraic group, namely Mara (aka Lakher). Chapter 1 introduces the Kuki-Chin speakers and their geographical locations, and traces the etymologies of the names Kuki and Chin. Chapter 2 investigates the historical depth of the separation of the Kuki-Chin family from the rest of Tibeto-Burman, and confirms the unity of the Kuki-Chin peoples through the study of shared sound changes and syntactic patterns. It also deals with the internal subgrouping of Kuki-Chin, based on these patterns of sound change, with shared innovations suggesting common history. For instance, the modem Northern and Southem- Plains Chin groups share a sound change of fortition in which the sound reconstructed as *r for the hypothetical Proto-Kuki-Chin language became a voiced stop /g/ in Northern and Southem-Plains Chin whereas it remained /r/ elsewhere. This indicates that, despite their present geographical separation, these languages share a closer history with each other than they do with the Central Chin group which now divides them geographically. From this we can infer something about earlier movements of populations in the Chin area. Thus this Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. chapter presents a subgrouping schema for Proto-Kuki-Chin: a Peripheral group which includes Southem-Plains-Chin and Northern (Zo) Chin; a Central Chin group; and a highly divergent Maraic group. Chapter 3 presents the PKC syllable canon, and Chapter 4 establishes the PKC initial consonants by comparing copious lexical data from the three subgroups, and gives examples of reconstructed etyma. A total of 1355 PKC etyma have been reconstructed. Chapter 5 seeks to reconstruct PKC etyma in terms of their rhymes. The term “rhyme” in Sino-Tibetan linguistics refers to the phonological material of the whole syllable except for the initial consonants, i.e. the vowel of the syllable plus the final consonant if any. Chapter 6 investigates the nature of the nominal tone system that the proto-language may have had. Four contrastive proto-tones have been reconstructed for smooth syllables; three proto-tones are reconstructed for etyma with stopped rhymes and long vowels, and a single proto-tone for stopped rhymes with short vowels. The concluding chapter (Chapter 7) summarizes and tabulates the types of sound changes which have been discovered in the course of this investigation.

Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to thank the Berkeley Linguistics Department which has allowed me to shape my linguistic pursuits during the last eight years. Without the support from faculty, staff, and colleagues in the department, it would have been impossible to complete this dissertation. I am most grateful to members my dissertation committee: James A. Matisoff ("Jim"), my teacher, advisor, mentor, employer, and above all friend, whose guidance has been indispensible for the creation of Proto-Kuki-Chin, and who has always been ready to provide painstaking assistance throughout the process of its formation. This dissertation and Kuki-Chin studies in general have benefitted tremendously not only from Jim's intellectual resources, but also from his endless passion for documenting understudied languages. Special thanks are also due to Gary Holland, who always gives insightful comments which ensure the integrity of the materials, and who is always willing to help graduate students along as they struggle through graduate school; Ian Maddieson, whose enthusiasm never fails to inspire students in their collection of data, and whose works on the phonetics of H. Lai and Khumi have greatly benefitted this dissertation; and Johanna Nichols, who appreciates all kinds of linguistic work, and always sees the potential contribution that any language can offer to the world of linguistic typology. Her insightful probing has truly improved the quality of this dissertation. I am also thankful to Larry Hyman, my phonology teacher and co-fieldworker, whose tireless work on the tones of Hakha Lai, Falam Lai, Thado Kuki, and Thlantlang Lai (a dialect of Hakha Lai) has contributed so much to our understanding of tonal patterns in Kuki-Chin languages. I also would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Andreas Kathol, whose work on Hakha Lai syntax has significantly clarified the syntactic function of verbal stem alternation. This dissertation owes a great deal to the insights of many Kuki-Chin linguists such as George Bedell, Albert Ceu Hlun, Lalnunthangi Chhangte, Khoi Lam Thang, F. K. Lehman, Thlasui Tluangneh, to name a few. This dissertation is in essence a product of linguistic "fieldwork" done in Berkeley. It began with a year-long Field Methods class that Jim conducted in 1996-1997 where H. Lai was the object of study. I was very fortunate to be the consultant for that class. A noteworthy result of that course was the publication of a rich collection of articles on H. Lai linguistics, which appeared in two volumes, in the journal Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area (1997-1998, Vol. 20.2 and 21.1). I am very grateful to all the students in that course (Jonathan Barnes, Darya Kavitskaya, Jason Patent, David Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. V Peterson, Rungpat Roengpitya, and Tomoko Yamashita Smith) who patiently endured my probing of their explanations regarding various linguistic phenomena in H. Lai in the course of their investigations into many aspects of Lai linguistics. Most significantly, the H. Lai Field Methods class has produced one of the most distinguished Kuki-Chin linguists, David A. Peterson (now at Dartmouth college, NH), a morpho-syntactician who specializes in the "applicative" construction. Having worked on H. Lai, one of the most conservative KC languages, he continued to do field linguistics on Sourthern Chin languages such as Hyaw and Khumi, among many others.

See note on nomenclature below. 70= TIBETIC phylozone 71= HIMALAYIC phylozone 72= GARIC phylozone 73= KUKIC phylozone 74= MIRIC phylozone 75= KACHINIC phylozone 76= RUNGIC phylozone 77= IRRAWADDIC phylozone 78= KARENIC phylozone 79= SINITIC phylozone This continental affinity is composed of two major parts: the disparate Tibeto-Burman affinity (zones 70= to 77=), spoken by relatively small communities (with the exception of 77=) in the Himalayas and adjacent regions; and the closely related Chinese languages of the Sinitic set and net (zone 79=), spoken in eastern Asia. The Karen languages of zone 78=, formerly considered part of the Tibeto-Burman grouping, are probably best regarded as a third component of Sino-Tibetan affinity. Zone 79=Sinitic includes the outer-language with the largest number of primary voices in the world, representing the most populous network of contiguous speech-communities at the end of the 20th century ("Mainstream Chinese" or so- called 'Mandarin', standardised under the name of Putonghua). This phylosector is named 7=Sino-Indian (rather than Sino-Tibetan) to maintain the broad geographic nomenclature of all ten sectors of the linguasphere, composed of the names of continental or sub-continental entities.

  • The Cultural Politics of Proxy-Voting in Nagaland
    TIF - The Cultural Politics of Proxy-Voting in Nagaland JELLE J P WOUTERS June 7, 2019 RODERICK WIJUNAMAI Voters in Kohima, Nagaland | PIB Photo Nagaland’s voter turnouts are often the highest in the country, and it may be so this time around as well. But why was the citizenry of Nagaland so keen to vote for their lone, largely ineffectual representative in the Lok Sabha? Of all truisms about democracy, one that is held to be particularly true is that any democracy’s vitality and verve depends on its voter turnouts during elections. As the acclaimed political and social theorist Steven Lukes (1975: 304) concluded long ago: “Participation in elections can plausibly be interpreted as the symbolic affirmation of the voters’ acceptance of the political system and of their role within it.” Indian democracy thence draws special attention; not just for its trope of being the world’s largest democracy (Indian voters make up roughly one-sixth of the world’s electorate) but for the democratic and electoral effervescence reported all across the country. While a disenchantment with democratic institutions and politics is now clearly discernible in large swathes of the so-called “West” and finds its reflection in declining voter turnouts, to the point almost where a minority of citizens elect majority governments, India experiences no such democratic fatigue. Here voter turnouts are not just consistently high, but continue to increase and now habitually outdo those of much older democracies elsewhere. And if India’s official voter turnouts are already high, they might well be a low estimate still.

  • A Faith-Driven Protocol on Gratitude, Forgiveness, and Stress for Chin
    A FAITH-DRIVEN PROTOCOL ON GRATITUDE, FORGIVENESS, AND STRESS FOR CHIN REFUGEES FROM BURMA: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY by Sally Goh Liberty University A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Liberty University February 2017 A FAITH-DRIVEN PROTOCOL ON GRATITUDE, FORGIVENESS, AND STRESS FOR CHIN REFUGEES FROM BURMA: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY by Sally Goh A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA 2017 APPROVED BY: _____________________________ Fernando Garzon, Ph.D., Committee Chair _____________________________ Joy Mwendwa, Ph.D., Committee Member _____________________________ Melvin Pride, Ph.D., Committee Member ii ABSTRACT The influx of immigrants from a diverse cultural and religious tradition into the United States has renewed counselors’ and researchers' interest in how collectivistic populations from a refugee background experience pre-settlement and post-settlement stress in this country. Refugees who have experienced trauma before their settlement are more likely to experience increasing psychiatric pressure from daily stressors such as language barriers, employment difficulties, familial and generational conflicts, and dwindling psychosocial support. However, some refugee populations, such as the Chin people from Burma, have a low-uptake of help-seeking for their psychological problems, leading to more insufficient adjustment to the host culture. Since the Christian faith and the exercise of spiritual disciplines play a critical role in the mental and subjective health of the Chin population, this researcher conducted a workshop to teach a faith- driven approach (also known as GRACE). This exploratory study will describe the development, rationale, and implementation of the protocol.

  • Ethnic History and Identity of the Zo Tribes in North East India
    Journal of North East India Studies Vol. 5(1), Jan.-Jun. 2015, pp. 39-50. Ethnic History and Identity of the Zo Tribes in North East India H. Thangtungnung North East India is a hotspot of identity crisis and ethnic divisions. The Chin, Kuki, Zomi and Mizo tribes who are collectively known as Zo people are no exception. They have close cultural, lingual and religious affinities and a com- mon ancestor called Zo. Historically, they have different theories of origin and migration based on their folklores, folktales and songs narrated down from one generation to another. The different origin theories like the Khul/Chhinlung or Cave origin theory, Chin Hills origin theory and Lost tribe (Manmasi) theory are among the most significant theories so far which speak, to some extent, some- thing about their history and origin. Of late, the Lost Tribe theory has gained momentum which claims that the Zo tribes are among the ten lost tribes of Israel, particularly from the tribe of Manasseh. Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar had recognised them as descendents of Israel in 2005, which was also approved by the Israeli government. Many have consequently immigrated to the ‘Holy Land’. In this backdrop, this paper is attempts to critically analyse and assess the ethnic origin of the Zo people with special reference to the lost tribe theory. Based on cultural and oral traditions, and Biblical sources, it also attempts to support that the Zo people are the ten lost tribe of Israel by substantiating various arguments to validate this origin theory. Keywords: Zo, Khul origin theory, Chin Hills theory, Lost tribe, Manmasi Introduction The Zo people are indigenous tribes of Manipur and Mizoram in Northeast India, Bangladesh and Chin State of Myanmar.
