[edit] Arguments in favour
- Hakha-Chin is spoken by well over half-million people in Chin State, Burma. In addition, there are Hakha-Chin speakers in Mizoram, India, Bawm, Bangladesh, and Chin diaspora all over the world. —unsigned by Laitlang 04:57, 28 February 2008.
[edit] Arguments against
- Oppose. Maybe it will seem silly, but one of the reasons why I can't support that, is that there's no article about that language even in English wikipedia (there's only an article about Kuki Chin Naga group.
Another reason is more clear - 3 articles in test wikipedia is not enough. --Visconsus 10:01, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Other discussion
There is a reference to an en.wWikipedia article. It is not there. GerardM 08:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- They simply don't have an article about it. >:O) Btw., the language is called "Hakha Lai" or just "Lai" in most linguistic works (except for Ethnologue where it's labelled "Chin, Haka", if one wants to call that a linguistic work). --Thogo (talk) 09:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
You are correct Thogo, it's called Lai or Laiholh. I was using "Hakha-Chin" only because there was an ISO code for that.
