Re: Wonder if Matupi in Daai ???

[Noah Levitt <nlevitt columbia edu>]

According to ethnologue, the iso639 code for Chin, Daai is
"sit", which unfortunately is not very specific:

  Sino-Tibetan (Other)   sino-tibétaines, autres langues    sit

I think reasonable possibilities for a language identifier
might be "sit@matupi" or "sit_MM@matupi".
