user_submission: "Poula is spoken by Poumai Naga tribe in Manipur, and in some part of Nagaland in Phek district. The government of India officially recognized this tribe as 'Poumai Naga', not as Poumei Naga (Ethnologue). The name of the language is 'Poula'; which is written in all official literature and documents.
Explanation on the the term 'Pou-mai' and 'Pou-la':
The term 'Pou' is the great great grandfather from which they believe to descend and 'mai' means people. Similarly, 'Pou' refers to that great great grandfather, and here 'la' means language. So 'Poula' means Pou's language.
