The '''Hrangkhawls''' or '''Hrangkhol''' are a subtribe of the [[Hmar people|Hmars]] and speak the [[Hrangkhawl language|Hrangkhawl]] dialect of [[Tibeto-Burman language|Tibeto-Burmese]] origin. They first settled at [[Champhai]] of Mizoram and later scattered to different parts of [[Northeast India|North-East India]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-09-15 |title=Background pf the Hrangkhol -Pg.3 {{!}} www.hrangkhol.in |url=https://www.hrangkhol.in/en/background-pf-hrangkhol-pg3 |access-date=2025-04-05 |website=www.hrangkhol.in |language=en}}</ref> Though the majority of the Hmars speak the lingua-franca of the Hmar i.e. [[Hmar language|Khawsak țawng/Literary Hmar]], many of the 20+ Hmar subtribes (such as Faihriem țawng, Leiri țawng, Țhiek țawng, Zote țawng, Darngawn țawng, etc.) also speak their own dialects just like the Hrangkhawls. In the history of the Hmars specifically around the 15th century AD, the Hmar subtribes were united by Rêngpui (Great king/great ruler; title) Chawnhmang Buhril who placed 6 Rêngtes (Lesser/smaller rulers; title) who were effectively regional rulers and also had village chiefs under them. Here, in this era the northern regional ruler was Demlukim Hrangkhawl who ruled from Mawmrang village in present day [[Saitual district]] of [[Mizoram]], and by the late stages of Rêngpui Chawnhmang's reign, it was recorded that he gave all his Rêngtes royal gifts before he departed for Tripura. For Rêngte Demlukim Hrangkhawl, the Rêngpui gave him a pinto/spotted horse and after that, taking many of his Hrangkhawl and Darlawng subjects, he migrated to Tripura. This is also the reason why Tripura is known to the Hmars (Mizos) as "Rêngram" (Land of the Rêng/Ruler). They are listed as one of the 21 [[adivasi|scheduled tribes]] of Indian state [[Tripura]].[http://www.tripura.nic.in] ({{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181207161605/http://www.tripura.nic.in/ |date=2018-12-07 }}) They are mainly dwelling in the Teliamura sub-division of [[West Tripura]]<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-08-19 |title=West District {{!}} India |url=https://westtripura.nic.in/ |access-date=2023-09-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190819165533/https://westtripura.nic.in/ |archive-date=2019-08-19 }}</ref> and the Ambassa sub-division of [[Dhalai]] [http://www.dhalai.nic.in] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231003094419/https://dhalai.nic.in/ |date=2023-10-03 }} districts. The Hrangkhawls are also found in the North Cachar Hills of [[Dima Hasao district]], [[Assam]], [[Mizoram]], [[Manipur]] and [[Myanmar]].<br />
