Zyphe (also spelled Zophei) is a Kuki-Chin language spoken primarily in Thantlang township, Chin State, Myanmar, and also spoken in India. It is spoken by 17,000 Burmese and 3,000 Indians. There are 2 dialects, east Zyphe and west Zyphe. A written script for Zyphe was created in 1998 by Rev. Dr. Ral Bawi and Prof. Kenneth Gregerson.[2]
