There are many different dialects in Chin State. Butm Hakha/Falam language is by far the largest speaking dialect. And the official Myanmar Radio broadcast for Chin language program is in Hakha dialect. And almost all publications in Chin language use Hakha dialect.

Almost every town in Chin State has its own dialect. But some of the root-word are the same (Eg. Pa=Father, Nu=Mom, dog=ui, pig=cow, pi=grandmom, pu=grandfather, etc) Well, transportation and communications is very difficult among Chin towns/villages which made it difficult to have a common language but very strict to our own dialects. Most chin speaks Mizo (India's mizo state) language which influence all other Chins. Ofcourse, some of our word are totally opposite (eg. Hakha word for "give" is "pek" which mean "kick" to Tedim. So, If a Hakha man say "I you want to eat food, I will give (pek) to a Tedim Man, it means, "If you want to eat I will kick (pek=give in Hakha) which can make scare or angry, (Very Funny) Hakha dialect is use mostly in Hakha and Thanthlang Township (some in the south since Hakha Bible is available to them). Falam was the District Office during the colonial period and the dialect was mostly known to the older officers and Falam township. But like others, within Falam Township there are some other minor dialects too such as Ngawn, Laizo, etc. Hakha also has Zotung, Zophei, etc. Tedim (Tiddim) dialect is used in Tedim and Tonzang Townships. The proper Burmese called us Chin. But some of the people who has "ZO" in their village and names prefer "ZOMI" while Hakha and Falam prefer "Laimi". But, the motive of our hearts are the same though our expression show our limited minds. (By the way, I am Rev. Nang Lyan Kap, Pastor of Tedim Evangelical Church and President of Timothy Bible School in Tedim. Now, I am in the States for my deputation. We will go back to Tedim, Chin State in December).
