Literature lamah kiniam lua:

1. Pau tawh kisai i dinmun:

India gam hi ta leh, Kawlgam hi ta leh, Zomiten pau tawh kisai in mainawtna ding kisap tampi i nei hi. A hangin i pau kitam zat lo lua a, pau kisiam nawn lo hi. A diakin khawpi sunga omte in i pau zang loin, innkuan sung nangawn ah a zang nawn lo tampi om ta hi hang. Khangthakte bek hi loin nu leh pa khangham zawte in zong i pau a zang lo kitam ta hi. Ei pau nangawn kisiam nawn lo hi.

Pau dik leh dik lo koi pan the ding ? Kawlgam lama te zat ahih manin dik pen hi kici thei tuan lo ding hi. Tu hun ciang pau dik leh dik lo tehna dingin mi tampente in a zat leh dik hi-a a ngaihsut pen pau dik hi kici hi. Tua ahih leh kawlgam lama omte pau a dik pen hi ci-in i sang thei ding hiam?

Tua lai takin Kawlgam lama omte in a zat loh, India gama omte bekin a zat, ahih hang eimi khempeuh in i theih siam kammal pawl khat zong om a, tuate zong pau dik mah hi ci a san ding hi.

Pau pen a nungta (alive) kici a, nungta ahih manin khang thei a, kum 50 halah kilamdang ci uh hi. Tu ma hun peka English pen English mah hi lai a, ahi zongin tu hun khangte in thei nawn lo, zang nawn lo uh hi. A hun tawh kizuiin pau pen lamdang thei ahih manin a lamdanna manban a, a hun zuia pau dik zang thei dinga i kisakkholh kisam hi. I pau kizang lo lua ahih manin pau dik zat ding haksa kisa ciat hi.

2. Zolai sim tawh kisai I dinmun:

Zomite in Zolai sim kisiam het lo hi. Mi tam zawte Zolai sim dan a sin ngei lote hi uh a, English Alphabet a kizat man leh spelling i siam loh manin, Zolai sim nuam a sa lo kitam hi. Zolai sim siam loh manin sim dingin zong a ngaihsun lo kitam hi. Zolai I sim siam loh manin ei pau tawh kigelh laibute sang kim leh pamte lai tawh kigelh laibute sim nuam i sa zaw hi.

Zolai i sim ngei loh manin Zo ngeina, zia leh tong kithei lo pah a, minam ngeina tawh kituak thu hoih la hoih kigelhte kithei lo hi. A diakin lai i simte in hong zo (influence) peuhmah ahih manin, mi namdangte lai i sim mun leh i theih loh kalin amau ngeina tampi kila thei hi. Gentehna in Kawl lai bekbek i sim leh i theih loh kalin Kawlte ngeina tampi kila a, Kawl minam kisuak thei hi. A peuhmah thu in, Zolai i sim siam loh manin, ei pau tawh kigelh laibute sim hong thadahsak a, tangpi tangta in laisim kitha nuam zo lo hi.

3. Zolai gelh lama i dinmun:

Kawl gam sung ki-ukna hoih loh manin lai lam tawh kisai a gelh nuamte in zong suahtakna neilo a, tua in mi tampite lai gelh lama khantohna dingah tha nemsak hi. Nisim sangah Zolai kisin lo ahih manin zong lai gelh dan kisiam lo a, tua in hong thanem sak lai hi. Tua banah lai siamte lakah zong zolai gelh a siam lo kitam ahih manin zolai gelh sangin namdangte lai tawh gelh baih kisa zaw banah, laibu bawlte in a zuakna ding ngaihsut- na tawh Zolai gelh ding haksa sa uh hi. Tua ahih manin Zolai tawh kigelh laibu limci kinei zo lo hi.

Zolai gelh dan zong kisiam nailo hi. Lai pau (written language) leh kampau (spoken language) lim ngaihsut lua hanga, ei leh ei haksatna kibawl tawm hi hang. Lai i gelh ciang a sim nuam dingin, i paukhiat bangin gelh leng i lungsim ah kiciamteh thei deuh hi. Gentehna in i pau ciang, 'Khelhna, Vangletna, Zekai' Kici napi, i gelh ciang a lawh nuam lo dingin, ‘Khialhna, Vangliatna, Ziakai’ci citciat sese.

Lai i cih pen i kammal ciamtehna(ciaptehna hi loin), symbol khat hi lel a, i paukhiat banga i gelh siam kisam hi. Mizo literature leh Paite literature ah i pau khiat bangin gelh uh a, theih nuam ahih manin, lai lamah khan cih takin khang uh a, literature tawh kisai in amaute pen Zolai ‘u’ suak hi bek loin Zolai ‘pu’ suak ta uh hi.

4. Laibu leh thugelh lama I dinmun:

Zolai tawh kigelh laibu hoih i neih hangin tam zo nai lo hi. Hih pen nuntak haksat man, gam ki-ukna hoih loh man leh Zolai gelh i siam loh man hi thei ding hi. Tua banah Zomite in laisim kithadah lua ahih manin laibu bawl nuamte in zong bawl haksa sa uh hi.

Lam khat panin laibu a bawlte in Pasian thu tawh kisai laibu bawl zaw deuh hamtang a, tua in mipite kisapna donghu zo lo ahih manin, lai sim thadah lawh uh hi ding hi. Literature mainawtna ding tawh kisai laibu kinei nailo a, biakna tawh kisai laibu lo buang laibu gentham om lo cih theih phial hi.

Zolai khantohna ding leh laibu tam zaw i neih theihna dingin a khang hun tawh kituak laibu i bawl siam kisam hi. Khangnote adingin Christian Love Story tuamtuam, Adventure lam tawh kisai laibu leh, Novel khawng sim ding om hen la, naupangte adingin naupang tangthu bu leh comics bu khawng om thei hi leh, tua in kin takin Zolai khangsak thei ding hi.
