(Redirected from Kom (India))
Kuki-Chin language of north-east India
Kom is a language of the Kom tribe of India. Kohlreng is usually considered a dialect of Kom, but may be a distinct language. Speakers of Kom live in the hilly provinces of Myanmar and India.
Geographical distribution
Speakers of Kom are found in the northeastern Indian states of Nagaland, Assam, and Tripura. Some of the population migrated in southern Manipur, concentrated in villages located in Churachandpur district from Myanmar,(Ethnologue).
