message: Chakma and Reang people are ethnically, linguistically and culturally different people from Mizo people. Some of them are living in Mizoram, and that's it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lpachuau (talk • contribs) 02:37, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chakma/Reang are not Mizo 

message: Contrary to popular believe, the official book published by the Study Group of Arts and Culture Department, Government of Mizoram - Mizo History in India, Burma and Bangladesh mentioned that the word MIZO must have some deeper and ancient meaning. After reading this, I study the word formation and naming system of Mizo language. Wild animal means 'SA', Human means 'MI' or 'MIHRING'. So, to name a particular animal like Tiger, Horse, Bear, etc., we say Sakei, Sakawr, Savawm, repectively. And, to name a particular tribe/community like White, Black, Brown people, we say Mingo, Midum, Mibuang respectively. Mirawng for Kabui Naga, Miria for Miu-Khumi.
So, 'Mi' must means 'people' (with no doubt), but what will 'Zo' means? Surely, 'Zo' is adjective part of the word. Lpachuau (talk) 11:30, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mizo does not means Hill People 

message: I would object to the use of "clan" for a group within which marriages take place, like Hmar or Lusei... Clan is most generally used by anthropologist to refer to an exogamous group, i.e. people who should not marry among themselves. 
I suggest we use sub-tribes or sections, to refer to subgroups of the Mizo ethnic group/tribe.

thread_title:  WP India assessment 

message: Mizo has never been a language except that it defines loosely a close group of people whose tribal identities share similarities and nor is Mizo a tribe. It is a generic term that's all unless it eventually evolves to mean a tribe where all the different tribes sharing similarities and who collectively define the word Mizo willingly without prejudice accepts it and have no intentions of safeguarding itself and determining its identity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lkhawzawl (talk • contribs) 13:31, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Should the Title of the article be changed to Mizo or Lushai. The reason is that most ethnicities are titled by the (English) ethnic names and this one is titled with 'people'. Sangsangaplaz (talk) 14:31, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
