This webinar is for any service providers to Chin/Burmese immigrants and organisers of language services.

Immigration from Burma (Myanmar) is not new to Australia, but in recent decades there has been a marked increase refugees/migrants from numerous minorities from that country. This cultural awareness presentation looks particularly at the Chin-speaking minorities, who display significant linguistic diversity which can cause difficulties both for language services and for other service providers. After providing background to the Chin migration to Australia, the session will look at the diversity of Chin languages – and how to correctly identify the varieties – and cultural issues including religion, educational levels and settlement experiences.
