Laitu (Laitu Chin) is a Kukish language of Burma. It is partially intelligible with Sumtu Chin. In Sittwe District, Rakhine State, Laitu is spoken in Minbya, Mrauk-U, and Myebon townships, and is also spoken in Paletwa township, Chin State.
Ekai (Ekai Chin) is not intelligible, but has been lumped in with the Laitu ISO code because Ekai-speakers generally understand Laitu.[2]
