The Zotung people are one of the ethnic groups in Chin State in Myanmar also known as Burma.
It is very difficult to get historical records of these ethnic people as they didn't have written languages for many years.
However, their history can still be traced back as far as 900 AD since there are place names in traditional songs that reveal the time period they were composed.
These people called themselves "Zo" from the early times of their ancestors which can be traced back to 700 years ago.
Most of these people are farmers and prefer hunting animals for their meals like other Chin groups.
They appeased to the various Khozi through the high priests for their health, wealth, safety and the prosperity of the land through Khuarum services.
In recent years the believe in Khozi have slowly begun to vanished as more people convert to Christianity.
The Zotung believed those that died as commoners went to Mitchi Khua, literally abode of the dead.
They cried Ka tungvaw’ e Sawsi hin uiccopi chite aemen, naedi thy te vaedi nih pon thiangsa ula, Khuanipi nih cawkhae sala!
It made all that drank from it forget about their previous life so that they live happily in their new realm.
For daily life, the men wore Anki (a cotton shirt), Boei (a large shawl), or were wrapped in fur.
The recounts of the old lady state that tuithangnung stayed the whole night, hanging beautiful patterned blankets around his bed.
Although some people say that there is a legend saying that the first Chin script was written on leather or animal skin which was eaten away by a dog, there is no such kind of stories told by forefathers.
Like many other ethnic languages, Zoccaw has been banned not to be taught officially in public school by the Myanmar government.
Zotung (Chin) people are heavily affected by natural disaster that hits the country on July 19 and August 3, 2015.
