About the Mizo language (Mizo ṭawng)
Mizo ṭawng also known as Duhlian ṭawng is a tonal language of the Tibeto-Burman language family. It is the mother tongue of the Mizo people, spoken primarily in the state of Mizoram, India, and in Chin State, Myanmar, as well as by members of the Mizo diaspora.
The language developed significantly from the Lusei dialect and is closely related to other Kuki-Chin languages, with influences from Pawi, Paihtê, and Hmar.

Writing system
The Mizo alphabet is based on the Roman alphabet and has 25 letters. A written script for Lushai was created in 1874 by Thomas Herbert Lwein. In its current form, it was devised by the first Christian missionaries of Mizoram, J. H. Lorrain and F. W. Savidge, based on the Hunterian system of transliteration.
