Tlosaih

Tlosaih is one of the Major Group of Mara people, who inhabited the southernmost part of Mizoram under the Mara Autonomous District Council. Tlosaih people are the largest among the Mara people. Their language, which was reduced into letter in Roman Script by the late missionary Rev.R.A. Lorrain, is used as Bible language and further in literature. Thus, Tlosaih language automatically formed common language for all the Maras, and can be counted widely as Mara language.

Almost all Tlosais are living in India, except few numbers in Myanmar. Tlosai group lives mostly in Western and North-Western part of Maraland. The villages like Siaha, Thosai, Tisopi, Amobyuh, Amotlah, Thiahra, Saikao, Laty, Pala, Tokalo, Kiasie, Lodawh, Lomasu and Bymari are all Tlosai village.

Tlôsaih people can be divided into two groups; Siaha-Tlôsaih and Saikao-Tlôsaih. The village Saikao was also previously known as Tlôsaih village as in the olden days Mara villages were usually named after their sub-tribes in contrast to Lusei tribe who named their village after their Chief's name. Almost all Tlosaih villages were ruled by Hlychho chiefs.
