[2] Thantlang is the administrative town of inclusive nine circles (also called mountain ranges) attributed to the geographical and dialectical arrangements of the area.

A variety of languages and different accents are spoken in Thantlang township, including Lautu, Zophei, Senthang, Lai and Lochei and Sizo.

Prior to 1995, there were many old cemeteries on the south side of the mountain above the main town, where subsequently the Burmese military build a camp and a pagoda.

Briefly, in the early 2000s, a small piece of northeastern Thantlang Township, namely the village tracts of: Lungding, Tikhuangtum, Tlangkhua, Tlangpi, Tlangte, northern Vanzang (Farrawn), and Zangtlang, was transferred to Falam Township.

However, in 2008, in the reorganization of Chin State townships, these village tracts were restored.
