The narrator needs to practice more. Looks like she is getting stuck in the middle of the sentences. Take it as a constructive criticism❤

Chang, Wang, Tang, sounding like Dutt, Bhatt, Chatt of Bengali and Assamese origin are of Chinese origin. Heng Dang, an ahom sword sounds Chinese. Changmai/ Sangma are originally from around Chang Meo region, Thailand.

Sangma is a Garo surname......... Garos forefathers migrated from Tibet......
