  1. i don't think these tribes (Phellungri,
    Phom, Shangpuri, Yimchunger, Tikhir and Chirr) are in Myanmar.If you want to know more on the Govt. and Eastern Naga Hoho recognized tribes in Myanmar you may contact me.
    Thanks for this platform.
    Kuknalim!

  2. Hello Athong,

    The above mentioned Tribes are compiled by reliable sources. And as mentioned the articles was extracted from NYOB.

    However if you think there is some mistake, we will be happy to hear from your side on the Naga Tribes and the govt as you mentioned.

    Regards
