Rongmei

Rongmei refers to a Naga people of the hills of northeastern India, also known in some sources as Kabui. Wooded slopes and valleys form the setting for communities with their own language and social traditions. Cultivation, forest resources and paths between villages supported life in the uplands.

Rongmei communities share cultural ties with the Zeme, Liangmai and Inpui, peoples associated with the collective name Zeliangrong. An ethnographic study of Manipur describes related customary practices and oral traditions alongside distinct languages or dialects.
