    “Mizo Puitling Thawnthu Verified: Oral Narratives as Historical and Cultural Evidence”

    Abstract:
    The Puitling Thawnthu (lit. ‘elders’ tales’) of the Mizo people represent a sophisticated oral narrative tradition. While often dismissed as mere children’s stories, these folktales encode historical memory, customary law (hnam hman dan), and ecological knowledge. This paper establishes a verification framework to distinguish authentic Puitling Thawnthu from later accretions or foreign borrowings. By examining internal consistency, motif clusters, and linguistic archaisms, the study confirms the indigeneity of core narratives such as Lalruanga leh Keimi, Nghilou, and Thlaiteii. The findings suggest that verification of oral texts is possible through a triangulation of structural, lexical, and ethnographic methods.
