Tlangpi also known as Klangpi is a mountainous village of Chin people in Thantlang Township, Chin State, Myanmar.[1] It is located in the west of Chin State, 13 km away from the south of Camp Victoria, Headquarters of Chin National Front at India-Myanmar border.[2] In the 2014 Myanmar Census, the population in Tlangpi was 1,648 (females: 823 and males: 825).[3]
History
In The Chin Hills Book Volume II 1896, Carey & Tuck mentioned Tlangpi as ‘Klangpi’ that had 70 houses.[4] In contrast, in the Chin-Lushai Land Book 1893, Reid correctly spelt the village name as 'Tlangpi' that had 100 houses.[5] In 1896, the houses in ‘Klangpi’ were built with bamboo in the manner of Lushai (Mizo) style.[6] Approximately in 1850, the Lai people of Vanzang village established Tlangpi village which now constitutes one of the six villages in Vanzang Hill Tract.[7]
Until 1895, Chinland (also known as Chin State or the Chin Hills) including Tlangpi was a sovereign territory with their own ruling system of chieftainship.[8] In 1872, 1888, 1889-1890 and 1895, the British invaded Chinland for colonisation.[8] After the 1895 invasion, the British declared that Chinland was a British Colony separately.[8] The British legislated the Chin Hills Regulation (1896) to rule the Chin people in the Chin Hills and Lushai Hills.[9] The British did not abolish the Chin ruling system of chieftainship.[9] Under the Chin Hills Regulation (1896), they applied the indirect rule to Chin people through the existing Chin Chiefs.[9]
In 1947, Mang Ling had become the Chief of Tlangpi under the Hakha sub-division of the British Colony.[8] Tlangpi Chief was one of the 19 Chin Hills Chiefs who represented the Chin people's wish to the Frontier Areas Committee of Enquiry.[8] The Committee was formed to unify the Frontier Areas and 'Ministerial Burma' with the Frontier Areas people's 'free consent' before the British conferred independence upon Burma in 1948.[10]

Tlangpi has a bedrock mortar site at its north. It is locally known as 'lungsum', literally meaning 'rock mortar'.[11] Prehistoric peoples used this type of bedrock mortars to grind foods.[12] Their use of bedrock mortars was world-wide from Americas to Asia.[12]
