Lutuv, widely known as Lautu Chin, is a Kuki-Chin language spoken in 16 villages in Matupi townships, Thantlang townships and Hakha townships, Chin State, Myanmar. The Lutuv Chin dialects share 90%–97% lexical similarity.[2] Lutuv Chin has 87%–94% lexical similarity with Mara Chin, 82%–85% with Zophe Chin, 80%–86% with Senthang Chin.[2] A written script for Lautu was created in 1960 by Rev. Fr. Andre Bareights and Michael Mg. Hre Hmung.[3]
The Chin Languages Research Project with Lutuv translator Siy Hne Paa (Sui Hnem Par) have provided translations of ten short books into Lutuv.[4] The Chin Languages Research Project has also a YouTube Channel. [5]
