Dimapur is the gateway to the Indian state of Nagaland. Nagaland is in the North Eastern part of India neighbouring Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh. Population is around 500,000. Weather is hot and humid most of the year. People speak English and local dialect Nagamese. Majority of the population are Christians.

When moving to my city, Dimapur one should consider the hot tropical weather and the difference in culture of the people. Even though all of us live together with peace and harmony we are really different. We have about 50 different languages spoken in our city itself with ‘Nagamese’ being the most widely spoken.

Someone moving to Dimapur should be willing to accept cultural shock. There are multiple number of tribes belonging from different ethnicity. No single tribe is similar to the other in terms of Dialect, Clan, Tradition, Food habit, Customary Laws, etc. English is a common language used here by most. However, local dialect is particularly a must to learn to adapt with the environment.
