Cumtu Chin People


Cumtu Chin People, one of the tribes of the Chin people, are native to Rakhine State: Myebon, Minbya, Ann and Kyauktaw townships - and some in Yangon Region. They are well educated and having high-profile jobs in the Myanmar government.

Demography

They are also known as Plain Chin, as they are living in the plains of Myanmar. Unlike other Chin clans, their main problem is communications among themselves due to distances between their villages, not the differences in their dialects.
