  • 2020-2021 Catalogue
    CHIN CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY HAKHA, CHIN STATE MYANMAR Catalogue 2020-2021 2 3 Letter from the President From its founding, Chin Christian University has been committed to rigorous and open inquiry with a shared understanding, that commitment to the Word of God is the defining feature of the University. We believe that all truth comes from God and therefore, are open to the wide variety of contributions that come from research and discovery, as well as corporate worship and cultural engagement. As president of CCU, I am excited to welcome you to experience a life-transforming education. Here at CCU, students are pathfinders. A pathfinder is a person who prepares a trail for other people to follow. So, in one sense he or she leads; but in another he or she helps. The year 2020 is a special year. Coronavirus, commonly known as COVID 19 brought the world a serious pandemic. Till today, more than one million people died. No one knew exactly when the virus infiltrated to Myanmar but the first case was confirmed on March 24, 2020. CCU called back all the interns to go home. Churches were closed. The pandemic makes us panic in one way or another. In such a situation, the Lord shows Himself to us as our Refuge. People have more time for meditation, thinking about the meaning of life and how to live a happy life in the 4 midst of pandemic. Church choirs are silent but the praising song that we sing in our heart is so loud. The sound of silence is louder than the sound of noise.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. 1 Abstract Proto-Kuki-Chin by Kenneth VanBik Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor James A. 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.
