APRACTICAL HAND BOOK OF THE CHIN LANGAUE- ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT BURMA FRONTIER, SERVICE 1925
(By L.B. NAYLOR, TEDIM CHIN HILL 14-12-1923)
Informer times only the Shans lived in the Kalemyo valley. While they were living there Manipur attacked Kalemyo. The Kalemyo people killed Hrang Ko the chief of Manipuries. Because they killed the chief the Kalemyo people won. The Manipur chief's grave still called "Hrang Ko's grave", to the present day after that the Manipuries again attacked Kalemyo, Then Kalemyo people were defeated, because cholera brokeout in the town. Therefore the Manipuries won but they did'nt administer or role the country. At that time a Burmese prince came from below Burma and governed the town and after wards built a wall all round the town. That was called the Kale' Palace.
In 1368 SAO SAWKE (1368-1401) a Shan Sawbwa (Chief) or prince became the King of the new Dynasty founded at AVA. He took the adventage of the quarrel between Kale and Mohnyin and annexed both State and replaced the Sawbwa (chief) with his relativen Kyitaungnyo his very ambitions nephew, became the Sawbwa of Kale, who even attacked Ava in 1425, circling the city for seventh months but failed to dethrone the King. In 1374 he built the "PALACE OF KALE.
It had a double moat, measuring 30 yards (30 m) wide and massive walls a kilometre square, enclosing an area of 234 acres. The remains of the massive walls of Kale city still stand to day two miles South of the present Kalemyo. During this time the people of the Kalemyo valley were fored to work very hard indeed. It is said that the fingers of the workers which were accidentally cutoff filled a basket. Therefore the people of Kalemyo, because they suffered too heavily migrated.
One group entered the Chin Hills by way of Yassagyo. They crosed the Manipur river and are now the Lushais. Later a group went up from the Kalemyo vacinity. These people camped on Kenedy peak. Up to the present time their cooking stone are still there. From the mountain they searched for a good place to settle. From Kennedy peak one party descended via Nawmkai Spur and settled at Ciimnuai near Saiyan. Another group followed down the Htung Spur from Kennedy peak and founded the village of Zangpitam. The people who lived at Zangpitam reunited with the people of Ciimnuai. There were many clans living in that village. Therefore that village is given as the historical birth place of the Chins. From that they separated again. One clan miggrated from Ciim Nuai to the mouth of the Natan lui from its mouth and founded Tuentak village. The founders of Tuentak village were the five son's of Pu Tuenthak called Ngengu, Nei Lut, Dai Tawng, Vang Lua and Non Zong.
Part of the Khuasak and Lophei are descended from Ngengu, Thuklai, Buanman and Liimkhai people are from Vang Lua and Tau Kon people are from Non Zong, Hin Nung and Hau Nung are the descendants of Dai Tawng. Nei Lut has a son called Nei Zo and Nei Zo has two sons called Vang Lawk and Gen Zo. Vang Lawk has a son called Dop Mul (Muanmul) and Dop Mul has five sons called Mulpi, Guuizo, Hanthual, Hawlhang and Kunhen. Gen Zo has two sons called Suan Te and Suan Khup.
The five sons of Ngengu are Lamtam, Khuakuan, Tungnung, Nantal, (a ta Tung Dim) and Phiam Phu, hi, ci-in lai mai 6 panin 15 dongah na at hi.
