Southern Kuki-Chin is a branch of Kuki-Chin languages. They are spoken mostly in southern Chin State, Myanmar and in southeastern Bangladesh.
Some languages formerly classified as Southern Kuki-Chin, including
Mro, Rengmitca, are now classified as Khomic languages
by Peterson (2017).
VanBik (2009) and Peterson (2017) split Southern Kuki-Chin into the Asho and Cho branches.
