The Zomi tribes may be classified into three zones according to their geographical habitation, viz Southern Zomi, Central Zomi and Northern Zomi. This classification is not very different from the conventionally made classification in the Linguistic Survey of India and other linguistic literature. So far as the history, language, and culture of the people are concerned, the Zomi would seem to be divided into North and South in contrast to the general east-west concept.
