About English Mizo Dictionary
This English-Mizo dictionary serves the Mizo community in India and worldwide. Mizo is spoken in the state of Mizoram in northeast India, and this dictionary helps preserve and promote the language.
About Mizo
Mizo is spoken by about 830,000 people, primarily in the state of Mizoram in northeast India. It belongs to the Tibeto-Burman language family and uses the Latin script.
Who is this app for? Mizo community worldwide, travelers to Mizoram, language preservationists.
A healthy language with thin digital coverage
Mizo, also called Lushai, is spoken by several hundred thousand people, principally in the Indian state of Mizoram where it has official status. It is used in education, administration, broadcasting and publishing, and it is being passed to children normally.
It is worth stating plainly because Mizo is often lumped in with endangered languages on the basis of speaker numbers alone. It is not endangered. It is under-resourced — thinly represented in digital tools and machine-readable material compared with European languages of similar size. Those are different problems with different causes: resourcing follows commercial attention rather than the health of a language.
Tibeto-Burman, written in Latin script
Mizo belongs to the Kuki-Chin branch of the Tibeto-Burman family, making it a relative of the Chin languages of neighbouring Myanmar rather than of the Indo-Aryan languages of most of India.
It is written in a Latin-based orthography developed in the late nineteenth century in the context of missionary work, which means there is no separate script to learn. Mizo is tonal, and tone is not fully represented in standard spelling, so it has to be learned from listening rather than read off the page.
Who uses it
Mizo speakers looking up English, which is the larger direction of use, alongside English speakers working in Mizoram in administration, healthcare, education and church contexts. There is also a Mizo diaspora within India and abroad.
Offline access matters: connectivity across the hill districts of Mizoram is uneven, and a dictionary that requires a signal is unavailable in much of the area where the language is spoken.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mizo an endangered language?

The Kuki-Chin branch of Tibeto-Burman, which makes it a relative of the Chin languages of neighbouring Myanmar rather than of the Indo-Aryan languages spoken across most of India.
