Zeme Naga (autonymously Zeme) is a Tibeto-Burman language of the Zeme group within Kuki-Chin-Naga, spoken by ~70,000 people across the borderlands of Nagaland, Manipur, and Assam in northeast India. The Zeme people are part of the broader Naga ethnopolitical complex (~3M Nagas across NE India and Myanmar) but linguistically distinct from the more famous Naga languages like Tangkhul, Sumi, and Mao. Zeme has classical Tibeto-Burman features: tonal (low/high), simple noun morphology, polypersonal verb agreement, and SOV constituent order. Naga literacy programs since the 1960s have produced Bible translations and educational materials in Zeme.
