Hi Seminar thiltum chu (Saptawng in):
The proposed program is aimed at protecting, promoting and revitalizing the dialect of the Hmar peoples. Keeping in mind the fragile and precarious condition of the Hmar community and their cultures, the project has the following objectives and goals:
1. Strengthening the Hmars’ resilience to assimilation, loss of cultural identity by empowering and revitalizing their dialect;
2. Encourage women groups and youths to be the vehicle for such linguistic transmissions;
3. Create a gender and socially integrated population of active speakers (or users) of the dialect- both written spoken language;
4. Encourage the informal use of the language among people of all age groups and within families and bolster its daily use through.
