The Mizo people, historically called the Lushais,[h] are a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group primarily from Mizoram in northeastern India.It consist of several tribes,ie, the Lusei, Hmar, Lai, Paihte, etc. They speak Mizo, one of the state's official languages and its lingua franca. Beyond Mizoram, sizable Mizo communities live in neighboring northeast Indian states like Manipur, Assam, Meghalaya, and Tripura, with minority populations also found in Myanmar and the United States. Mizoram is the second most literate state in India, at more than a rate of 90%.[16]

The Chin people of Myanmar and the Kuki people of India and Bangladesh are the kindred tribes of Mizos[17] and many of the Mizo migrants in Myanmar have accepted the Chin identity. The Chin, Kuki, Mizo, and southern Naga peoples are collectively known as Zo people (Mizo: Zohnahthlak; lit. "descendants of Zo") which all speak the Mizo language[18]
