The Naga National Council (NNC) raised the Federal Government of Nagaland on the 22nd March 1956. Recognising the importance of our native languages, many national terms were then adopted by the Government. However, it is of great concern that the original spellings of these terms, as adopted by NNC/FGN, are found to have been erroneously spelled in some recent publications, whether intentionally or inadvertently.
The following are some of such official terms erroneously spelled quite often.
1. AHNG, not Angh
2. AHZA, not Azah
3. ENO, not Ino
4. RAJU PEYU, not Razou Peyu, nor Rajah Peyu
5. KEDAHGE, not Kedaghe
What the pioneering leaders of the Naga struggle have established, let no one alter them. These terms have been inscribed in the annals of history in the declaration of Naga Independence to the UNO and various nations, and in the documentation of the atrocities perpetrated by the Indian Government.
