Self-Tutor Book ‘Zo-English-Hindi’ to be Released at MELCD Sunday Worship Service
New Delhi, 12 March 2010 – A book titled Zou-English-Hindi Kizilna Laibu (Self-Tutor Book of Zo-English-Hindi) is set to be released on Sunday, 14 March, in Munirka. The release function will be a part of the MELCD Sunday Worship Service, during which Pastor T. Lalpu will offer a blessing for the author.
The
book is the result of eight years of rigorous preparation and marks the sixth
publication by Philip Thanglienmang, who previously authored five books in a
single year (2006). It focuses on self-learning of English, Hindi, and Zou,
providing an easy reference in English and Hindi for the Zou community and
other Zo tribes.
The
book is divided into two parts:
Part I provides a
brief historical background of the Zo/Zou people, a genetic classification of
the Zo language, a genealogical tree of Kuki-Chin languages, an indicative
linguistic map of Zo-speaking areas, and a record of Zo-speaking villages in
India and Myanmar (Burma).
- Part II serves as a ‘self-tutor,’ consisting of 66 chapters. A
unique feature of the book is its inclusion of vowel and tone indications.
The
author has also highlighted pronunciation guides, tone symbols, spelling
conventions, and Hindi alphabets with English translations, ensuring readers
gain foundational linguistic knowledge before progressing through the book.
This
self-tutor book includes a foreword by eminent linguist Prof. P. K. S. Pandey
from the Centre for Linguistics, School of Language, Literature & Culture
Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
Prof.
Pandey remarked, “Mr. Mangkang’s work stands out as he is a native speaker
of the language. His book provides a native speaker’s insight into the language
from a learning and teaching perspective. It serves as a highly usable
scholarly handbook for students, teachers, and scholars in the field of
language studies.”
The
Zo or Zou language, a member of the Kuki-Chin subgroup of the Tibeto-Burman
language family, has gained recognition primarily through the efforts of a few
dedicated individuals who have published books and writings.
Dr.
M. Lachinkhai, Chairman of the Zou Literature Society (ZLS), Manipur, stated, “While
we appreciate the contributions of missionaries and civil servants, we strive
to adopt more accurate spelling conventions for writing the Zou language, which
is tonal. Mr. Philip Thanglienmang is an enthusiastic linguist and dedicated
researcher in tribal literature, culture, and language, particularly within the
Kuki-Chin subgroup. His works are primarily research-oriented, documentative,
and scholarly. Thanks to his tireless efforts, Zou vocabulary has been
significantly enriched.”
About the Author
Philip
Thanglienmang is currently pursuing a PhD at JNU. An engineer by training (B.E.
Civil), he later became a civil servant (DANICS) and a linguist (M.A.
Linguistics). In 1998, he founded the Zou Cultural cum Literature Society
India (ZOCULSIN), a non-profit organisation. He is also the president of
the United Zou Organisation (UZO), Delhi, and a passionate advocate for Zou
students.

Philip
stated, “For the love of my people, I do not seek any profit from this

modern linguistic technology.

Service on 14th March 2010 at 4 PM. The book will be officially released by Prof. P. K.
