Nagaland is presently under the Indian union.

Naga country country is located in the north-eastern region of India, bounded by Myanmar and Thailand.

Today the Ao-Nagas, along with the other 14 communities, speak a common language called Ao (having two major dialects - Chungli (Bible language) and Mongsen (= languge of the prose and poetry) adopted after the written language of the Bible (both the Old and the New Testaments).
