Htilin

Htilin, also rendered Tilin, lies at the meeting of the Chin Hills and the valleys of western Burma. The surrounding country is a landscape of wooded slopes and streams descending towards the Irrawaddy basin. Its inhabitants speak the Yaw variety of Burmese, linking the settlement to the communities of the Yaw region. Mountain country to the west gives way to the lower valleys and plains farther east.
