caption_attribution_description: English: Siyin chiefs
context_page_description: The Siyin people or the Thaute people are mainly the descendants of Pu Thuantak, who is also known as Suantak in Tedim language and related clans, and their adopted sons and daughters. The Siyin Valley is located in the present day Chin State, Burma, founded by the descendants of the Pu Thuantak, when they moved away from their original home of Ciimnuai with other Zo people such as the Sukte, Thado, Zou, and other related tribes.
  Zo lived collectively in the place known as Ciimnuai, for a long period of time until they experienced population explosion. Finding new settlements then became essential for their survival for cultivation, in the hope of getting sufficient food from fertile soil for each community. Consequently, they scattered throughout the mountains, dales and valleys within and surrounding the present Chin State. Due to communication difficulties and their isolation, each departed group from Ciimnuai developed a unique dialect. The Sizang language emerged the same way as Vaiphei, Teizang, Saizang, Val, Zou, Dim, Khuangsai, Hangmi/Milhiem and others, and are closely related to one another.
