Chang is a Naga of Nagaland, India. It is one of the recognized Scheduled Tribes. The tribe was also known as Mazung in British India. Other Naga tribes know the Changs by different names including ''Changhai'' (Khiamniungan), ''Changru'' (Yimchunger), ''Duenching'' (upper Konyak), ''Machungrr'' (Ao), ''Mochumi'' (Sema) and ''Mojung'' (Konyak). == Origin == According to oral tradition, the Changs emerged from a place called Changsangmongko, and later settled at Changsang.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Festivals of Chang Tribe )〕 The word Chang is said to have derived the word ''chognu'' (banyan tree), after a mythical banyan tree that grew at the now-abandoned Changsang. Another theory says that the Chang migrated to present-day Nagaland from the east, and therefore call themselves Chang ("Eastern" in the local dialect). Some Changs also claim the Aos as their ancestors. The Chang folklore is similar to that of the Ao. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chang Naga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
