The Zomi, also called Tedim Chins[1][2] and Tiddim people,[3] are a Zomi ethinic group, part of the Zo people, primarily inhabiting the Tedim District in the Chin State of Myanmar. They speak the Zomi language, a northern Kuki-Chin language.

The Zomi were early adopters of the Zomi identity, founding the Zomi Baptist Convention in 1953, after a careful discussion of nomenclature.[4] According to Khup Za Go, most people called "Chins" by the Burmese do not recognize that name as their identifier, and also feel the Burmese use of it to be abusive or degrading.[5] However, the Burmese government never accepted the term "Zomi" and most outsiders do not recognize it either, and so "Chin" is often added to the label "Zomi".[6]

The Bible was translated into the Tedim language in 1983, although the New Testament had been translated into and published in it in 1932.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
