    Burmese food is quite tasty! Sizang food, by contrast, tends to have a lot more of a vegetarian feel to it. Thanks for your support!

    Sizang is related to what other languages? Good luck in your endeavors!

    Hi, John! In the Linguistic literature, the language family of Sizang is referred to as Kuki-Chin, a sub-group of Tibeto-Burman. Sizang is in the Northern sub-group of Kuki-Chin and is thus related to Zou, Thadou, Tedim (Kamhau or Sokte dialects), Ngawn, Paite, and others. A more-detailled taxonomy can be found here: http://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/siyi1240
