Kukish languages
The Kukis languages, also known as Kuki-Chin (Kuki/Chin), Chin/Kuki/Mizo, or Kuki Naga, are a branch of 50 or so Sino-Tibetan languages spoken in northeastern India, western Burma and eastern Bangladesh. Most speakers of these languages are known as Kukī in Assamese and as Chin in Burmese; some also identify as Lushei. The Mizo people are ethnically distinct.
Kukis is sometimes placed under Kuki-Chin–Naga, a geographical rather than linguistic grouping.
Subclassification
There is general agreement that the Karbi languages are related to, or part of, Kukish, but they are aberrant. However, Thurgood (2003) and van Driem (2011) leave Karbi unclassified within Sino-Tibetan. The Mru language, once classified as Kukish, is now thought to be closer to Lolo–Burmese.
The internal classification of the Kukish languages proper has changed little in a century:
- Central: Mizo (Lushai), Bawm (Banjogi), Hmar, Hakha (Lai Pawi); maybe Ngawn, Tawr, Pangkhua
- Maraic: Mara (Lakher), Zyphe, Senthang, Zotung, Lautu
- Northern: Falam (Hallam, incl. Laizo, Zahao, Chorei), Anaal (Naga), Suantak-Vaiphei, Hrangkhol, Zo (Zou, Zome), Biete (Bete), Paite, Tedim (Tiddim), Thado, Chiru, Gangte, Kom (Kolhreng), Purum (Naga), Simte, Vaiphei; maybe Aimol–Saihriem, Siyin (Sizaang), Lamkang, Chothe (Naga), Kharam (Naga), Moyon (Naga), Ralte
- Southern: Shö (Asho/Khyang, Bualkhaw, Chinbon, Shendu), Khumi (Khumi proper and Khumi Awa), Thaiphum, Daai (Nitu), Mro, Mün, Nga La, Welaung (Rawngtu), Kaang, Laitu, Rungtu, Songlai, Sumtu

Are You Man Enough?
by: C.C. CatchDreams
babe
are made of emotion
shadows and dark deep devotion.
Stay here
my heart is on fire
I'm born again
My heart is in your hands
my heart is burning
turning
over and over
my friend.
Are you man enough
but baby
are you really tough
To take my heart away
my love?
Don't look back
here I am
just for you.
Are you man enough
oh baby
are you really tough?
If you light the flame of love
on the wings of my love we will fly.
Love me like there's no tomorrow
give up the fears and the sorrows.
Passion of love stays forever
didn't I tell yov that I need you so?
My heort is burning
turning
over and over again.
Are you man enough
but baby
are you really tough . . .
Keep the fire burning in your soul
my heart is losing its control
What I got is what you need tonight.
Are you man enough
but baby
are you really tough
To take my heart away
my love?
Don't look back
here I am
just for you.
