Abstract
This paper presents a preliminary 100-item Swadesh word list for Hnaring Lutuv. Lutuv or Lautu (ISO 639-3 CLT) belongs to the Maraic branch of Kuki-Chin within the Tibeto-Burman language family (Eberhard et. al, 2019). Hnaring is a Lutuv village in the southern part of the Lutuv-speaking area in Thantlang Township, Chin State, Myanmar. The word list comes from the intuitions of our co-author Sui Hnem Par, a 21-year-old native speaker born Near Mandalay of Lutuv parents (both from Hnaring), who lived for some of her childhood in Hnaring before moving to the US. She currently lives in Indianapolis, Indiana. She also speaks Hakha Chin and English (having learned both after leaving Chin state), as well as Burmese (the language of education in Myanmar).
