Liangmei

The Liangmai are a Naga people of the hills between the Brahmaputra and Manipur valleys. Their language belongs to the Zeme-Naga group; in Nagaland, Liangmai and Zeme are also known collectively as Zeliang. Liangmai oral tradition remembers a journey through Makhel to Makuilongdi, a village regarded as an ancestral home. One account names Munhu Nguibo as its first chief and traces the Liangmai through his descendants.
