Trong Vuina Dar Ri Chu Ngai Ro


Language is the blood of the soul into which
thoughts run and out of which they grow.
-Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Khawvela hin trong hrang hrangin pung tieng nekin tlawm tieng a pan pei lem a nih. Zo hnathlakhai lai khom pung nêkin a kiem pei ding a nih. Chu lampui chu pumpel thei a ni nawh.

February 2002 khan UNESCO huoihotnaa mi thiem thlang khawmin khawvela trong hrang hrang bohmang mekhai ngirhmun thlirna an buotsai lekhabu, Atlas of the World Languages in Danger of Disappearing ti chu Paris-ah an tlangzar a.
