Patsho/A Background of Patsho History

Introduction

Patsho village is a home to Patsho people, located in North Eastern parts of India in state of Nagaland. Noklak district which is recently bifurcated from Tuensang district is mainly inherited by Khiamniungan people and Patsho people is identified as Khiamniungans, distinguished by subtle linguistic variations in tone and accents. The language spoken in the village is purely Patsho Khiamniungan, colloquially Patsho nyu which indeed is one of the oldest in the region.

Origin

The origin of Pathso people cannot be exactly unraveled but can one trace back since the moving out of group of people from Khiamnyunga to Lümuoking and the present day settlement of Patsho village. From this place, numerous hamlets began to establish moving towards South and eastward mainly with the intention of acquiring jhum fields for sustenance.
