The Thadou (''Thadou te'') are a tribal people native to Northeast India, Chin state and Sagaing Division in Burma and eastern Bangladesh. Thadou is a Kuki-Chin language of the Tibeto-Burman family. Thadou is spoken in the different parts of North East India and adjacent portions of Burma and Bangladesh. It was the second language after Meiteilon (Manipuri) in the Manipur state during British Colonial Period. In Manipur, the Thadou are mostly found in Churachandpur district, Senapati district, Ukhrul district, South-Western Hills and Sadar Hills, Chandel district and Jiribam. They are the largest Tribes of the Kukis Kuki peoples. Thadous are known as: * Thadou by the Chins of Myanmar(Burma). * Lusuong by the Lushais/Mizos. * Khongjai/Khongsai by the Meiteis. * Khongchai/Khachami by the Tangkhuls. * Kusamei by the Maos. * Makheng by the Anals. * Thangkumsa by the Kacharis. * New Kuki by the British. ==Religion== A great majority of the Thadou people are Christians. Christianity among the Thadous can be traced back to an Anglican named William Pettigrew who worked in Manipur as a missionary from 1894. The 100th anniversary of the Thadou people embracing Christianity was held at Motbung, Sadar Hills, Manipur India on 13 December 2008 under the aegis of the Thadou Baptist Association. 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「Thadou people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
