Mizo literature
Mizo literature is the literature written in Mizo ṭawng, the principal language of the Mizo peoples, which has both written and oral traditions. It has undergone a considerable change in the 20th century. The language developed mainly from the Lushai language, with significant influence from Pawi language, Paite language and Hmar language, especially at the literary level.〔(Lalthangliana, B., '''Mizo tihin ṭawng a nei lo' tih kha'' )〕 All Mizo languages such as Pawi language, Paite language etc. remained unwritten until the beginning of the twentieth century. However, there was unwritten secular literature in the form of folktales, war chants etc. passed down from one generation to another. And there was rich religious literature in the form of sacerdotal chants. These are the chants used by the two types of priests, namely ''Bawlpu'' and ''Sadâwt''. This article is about the written literature.
==Pre-Christianisation period==
This period of Mizo (written) literature usually refers to the period between 1860 and 1894.〔(Chawngthu, Tluanga, ''Mizo thuhlaril hmasawn dan part -I )〕 Although the Mizo alphabet proper was created around May 1894, written Mizo literature can be said to start from the publication of ''Progressive Colloquial Exercises in the Lushai Dialect'' by Thangliana (which is the Mizo name of Thomas Herbert Lewin) in 1874. In this book he wrote down two Mizo folktales ''Chemtatrawta'' and ''Lalruanga leh Kungawrhi'' with their English translations, and included some Mizo words with their English meaning.〔Khiangte, Laltluangliana, ''Thuhlaril'', 2nd Edition, 1997.〕 Along with Sir George Campbell, G.H. Damant, R.G. Woodthorpe etc., other employees of the British East India Company, Thangliana also studied Mizo culture and language, producing important works.
