The Eastern Manipur region which Borders with Burma (Myanmar) has a lush evergreen Hilly terrain. The Hills aren't the same as the ones seen in Himalayan states such as Himachal or Uttrakhand but rather smaller and a mix of Undulating topography, Larger Hills at the periphery and a Huge expanse of plain Valleys of alluvial tracts possibly shaped by flooding of the region in the past. This region is Inhabited by Tangkhul tribe a Sub division in the great Naga or (Mao) tribe. The Mao language is classified as one of the Angami-Pochuri languages which is sub categorized as an independent dialect taking it's origins from the Tibeto-Burman languages, Which along with other evidences paints a gradual migration from Burma (Myanmar) into present Day North-East India.
