Naulak

Naulak is a clan of Dim ethnic group recognised by the Burma government. In India it is a clan of the Paite Scheduled Tribe in the state of Manipur and Mizoram. "Nau" means baby. "Lak" means take. Then Naulak means baby take. In here the baby take by the other man. They are Christians. They use the ISO basic Latin alphabet and Arabic numerals. Legend has it that Naulak was residing in Ciimnuai-Geltui region of Burma. Dimpi village was his bastion. For reasons best known to the then existing village economy, society, and politics, his descendants migrated elsewhere and carried on. Naulak is written as Nowlaks also. The Zo folk tales of Lian Do and Thang Ho were bond in CHIMNUAI and young at in Dimpi village until their die.

Do El had three sons: Mun Luah, the eldest son, was the proprietor of his father's ancestral property; Zil Om waited for the water(ziltui) to drain naturally. Therefore the name 'Zil Om'; and Naulak, who was the youngest.
