Philip Thanglienmang, M.A(Linguistics)

Tulâi hun in, ei mihingte’n vânlêng a I lên chiengun, a hi ding mawng bangin I gêl ta uhhi. Mipil masate’n lungsim leh hluohbu bangza a na sên zieh u’a, tuni’a eite’n nuomtah leh olsamtah a, munchin gamchin teng I kawmthei uh ahiei? chi thute I ngaisut ngai sih uhhi.
Tânglâi a kipatsa’n leitung mihingte’n vân lâi zawl a, vâ lênglâite a na mu chiengun, a na êng thei mama u’a, vâte banga nuomtah a, a lênthei nadîngun lungsim sinsim na tuot let uhhi. Tua banga, a lên ûtdânte uh, lahâm ah, ‘va bang lêngkhawm’ chiin a na mang zêl uhhi. Wright unâute gêl in vânlêng a na lênsahthei masangin zong mihing in vân lâiah bangchi leh a kilêngthei diei? chi tamveipi na tum uhhi. Tami toh kisaiin, tângthu tuonthu tampi na kigielzouta hi.

Kumzalom 18th hun lain gasbag, valve, bawm(basket) chite na kisiemkheta hi. Leonardo da Vinci in lênna siem ding dân pilna lamsang na giel masapên ahi. Tuami pilna zangin, Montgolfier unâute gel in, hui sânga zângzaw lênna na siem masa ahi uhhi.
Kumzalom 20th bul lam apatin lênna siemdân zât tampi a na kipokheta hi. Wright Unâute’n December 17, 1903 nia vânlêng masapên a na lênsah zou u’a, kipatsa’n, leitung ah lênna chituomtuom tampi na kisiemkheta hi. 1950 bul lam in, supersonic jet leh subsonic jet bomber na kisiemkhie hi. Lênna khênna lam ah, USA pen leitung pumpi a lênna tegnolozi lam a siempen leh sângpen ahi. USA pen leisiet pumpi a namchinte lah a, lênna siemna lam a, siempen ahi.


Part 1: Mihingte va bang a na lên sawmna thute
Leitung ah, mihingte va bang na lêng nuom mama uhhi. Mihingte’n leisiet tungah vâte lêndânte a mu chiengun tua banga lêntheina ding lungsim a na nei uhhi. ‘Va bang lêng dîng’ lahâm gui chi bang a na phuokhie uhhi. Jesu pienma kum 400 B.C tuom hun lâiin, China gam ah sil lêngthei khat; lâilêng(lâilâm) zêm tuomtuomte toh kizêmte a na siemdoh uhhi. Lâilâm na kisiemdoh a kipatin mihingte’n tua banga lênthei ding na lunggul uhhi. Chinesete’n(Sênte’n) biehpiehna a na nei chiengun Lâilêng(lâilâm) zêm tuomtuom a na zang let uhhi.

Kumzalom tampi na peisa hun sungin, mihingte’n va banga lêntheina dingun vâte lêndân na enkhie un, a na zil zêl uhhi. Mihing hlakui a na siem u’a, singpêh zâng leh va-hla(feather, plume) khut leh bân tawng a, khîthei dîng a na siemdoh u’a, tuachiin vâte lên bangin a na lên sawm let uhhi. Mihingte tel leh voute vâte hlakui bang a kisiem ahi lou ziehin vâte lênnop dânte a zilthei sih uhhi.
