Mün (Mün Chin) is a Kuki-Chin language of Burma. It is spoken in Mindat township, Chin State, and Saw and Tilin townships, both in Magway Region (Ethnologue).

Names

It has gone by the name Chinbok, but this is a regional name of the colonial era applied to neighboring languages as well. Alternate names include Cho, K’cho, K’cho Chin, Mindat, Mün, Müün.

Dialects

Ethnologue lists 3 dialects, namely:

Ng’men (Hletlong, Hmong-K’cha, Nitu)
Hngiyung
Gah (Ng-Gha)

There are at least 2 dialects, namely Hngiyung and Ng’men (also called Hletlong, Hmong-K’cha, Nitu). This dialect is almost disappeared as forgotten by Mün people. Instead of upgrading Mün dialect, they are still trying to create Kcho dialect. After 2030 the name Mün ethnic group will be obscurer because they all left the word Mün behind.
