Thantlang ((ビルマ語:ထန္တလန္ျမိဳ.)) (also Thlantlang or Htantlang in Burmese transliteration) is a town and the administrative center of Thantlang Township in Chin State, western Myanmar (formerly Burma). ==Geography and Ethnicities== Thantlang is located 25 miles from Hakha, the capital of Chin State. Thantlang was formerly known as Thlan Tlang ("Cemetery Hill") for the many cemeteries on the city's west side. In 1983, the People's Council officially changed the name of the town to "Than Tlang" ("Famous Hill"). Thantlang sits between the Vuichip and Marau Mountains. The Kaladan River flows between Hakha and Thantlang before it swerves north through into India's Mizoram State and re-emerges in Paletwa, where it merges into the Bay of Bengal. Thantlang's borders extend to Mizoram's edge in India. The town's water flows in from the nearby Buhva and Lahva rivers. Paddy fields dot Lahva's banks, regularly plowed by local farmers in June and harvested by the end of October. The township is constructed of over eighty neighboring villages, surrounded by nine small regions: Khualhring, Vanzang, Zahnak, Bual, Vailam, Zophei, Bawipa Tlang, Lautu, and Mara. Thantlang provides space for the local governmental administrative offices, which serve all villages in that nine-region area. Roads in Thantlang township are mainly done by local villagers. There are many different dialects in Thantlang but locals have no difficultly understanding each other. 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「Than Tlang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
