The Tedim language (also called Zo or Zopau) is a Kuki-Chin language spoken mostly in the southern Indo-Burmese border. It is the native language of the Tedim tribe of the Zomi people, and a form of standardized dialect merging from the Sukte and Kamhau dialects. It is a subject–object–verb language, and negation follows the verb. It is primarily written in Latin script and is mutually intelligible with the Paite language.
