Zo is a collective name for the kuki and Zo is not kuki, the word Zo/kuki should be removed and only Zo should be written Fckscums (talk) 05:41, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Zo is not the same as Zomi
editI see people getting confused. Zomi is a subcategory within Zo. Also I saw comments of people saying that Zo is a category under Chin. Again Wrong. You are confusing it with Zou people. Chin is a subcategory under Zo. However Zou people are a subcategory within Chin, and they just call themselves Zo, instead of Zou. I know its confusing for non Chins to understand lol. I myself being one gets confused at times. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 02:39, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
Regarding this edit, a hatnote is meant to be a cryptic one-liner. Its purpose is to simply direct people to other pages if those are what they are looking for. The Zo vs Zou distinction was apparently discussed decades ago, and the present hatnote was added.
If you want a hatnote for "Zomi" as well, we can add it, but we would need to agree on what "Zomi" is. I don't agree that it is a "subgroup" or a "group" even. It is simply an identity that some people have created and adopted. It is quite unclear who uses that identity and who doesn't. I know even some Paites who reject the "Zomi" term. So it can't be characterised as a "group". Identatitarian politics should be clearly identified as such. We can't elevate them to established categories.
"Zo" is also derived from identitarian politics, but I see that people are happy to sign up to it. I haven't seen any one disown that term. Moreover, several scholars have also used it to refer to the totality of Kuki-Chin-language speaking people. So "Zo" is not a contested term, but "Zomi" is. They don't have the same status. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 08:28, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
