It's interesting they highlight speech patterns, but I wonder if the film oversimplifies the complex history behind those cultural ties.

I'm not sure we should label an entire community 'Chongai'—that nickname feels a bit reductive to me.

To trace these links further, visiting local archives and interviewing elders could provide more detailed insights into ancestral connections.
