The Zo people[a] is a term to denote the ethnolinguistically related speakers of the Kuki-Chin languages[1] who primarily inhabit northeastern India, western Myanmar, and southeastern Bangladesh.[2]
The dispersal across international borders resulted from a British colonial policy that drew borders on political, rather than ethnic, grounds.[3]
