Geographical Extent
The geographical extension of the language group is at its largest extent a territory of approximately 60,000 square miles (160,000 km2) in size, in Burma, India and Bangladesh. However exact geographical, and linguistic, extension is debated, such as by the Zomi National Congress claiming Thado language as part of Zomi language in the argument for a Zomi identity and a Zo homestate, "Zogam".

Famous quotes containing the words geographical and/or extent:
“Men’s private self-worlds are rather like our geographical world’s seasons, storm, and sun, deserts, oases, mountains and abysses, the endless-seeming plateaus, darkness and light, and always the sowing and the reaping.”
—Faith Baldwin (1893–1978)
“The West is preparing to add its fables to those of the East. The valleys of the Ganges, the Nile, and the Rhine having yielded their crop, it remains to be seen what the valleys of the Amazon, the Plate, the Orinoco, the St. Lawrence, and the Mississippi will produce. Perchance, when, in the course of ages, American liberty has become a fiction of the past,—as it is to some extent a fiction of the present,—the poets of the world will be inspired by American mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
