Falam Chin (also known as Lai) is a Kuki-Chin language in Falam Township, Chin State, Myanmar, and also in Mizoram, India.[not verified in body]
Falam Chin is closely related to most Central Chin languages, especially Hakha Chin.[3] The Falam people are primarily Christian and have translated the Bible into Falam Chin.
