Southern Angami

Southern Angami or Japfüphiki is a geo-cultural region located in the southern part of Kohima District in the state of Nagaland in India with a portion of its territory also lying across the inter-state border in the Senapati District of Manipur.

Kigwema and Viswema are considered to be the oldest settlements of the Angami Nagas. Numerous villages have branched out from these two ancestral settlements.

In 1944, the Southern Angami Public Organization was formed to protect and safeguard the territories of the Southern Angamis.

Southern Angami region is located on the eastern part of the Barail mountain range with Mount Japfü at 3,048 m (10,000 ft) above sea level as its highest point. The region is bounded on the south by the Mao Nagas, on the south-west by the Maram Nagas, on the west by Zeliangrongs and the Western Angamis, on the north by the Northern Angamis and on the east by the Chakhesang Nagas.
