'''Skipe''' is a border village on the side of India in the Indo-Myanmar international border. The village is located south of [[Ukhrul]] in Ukhrul district, [[Manipur]] state, India. Skipe falls under [[Kamjong]] sub division. The village is partially connected by Ukhrul-Kamjong state highway. Skipe is flanked by [[Chindwin]] river in the east, [[Konkan Thana]] in the north, [[Kangpat]] in the west and [[Namlee]] in the south. Locally, the inhabitants speak Skipe dialect that belongs to the Tibeto-Burman language family. Some researchers are of the view that the dialect spoken by the inhabitants has some affinity to that of the Koireng tribe.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thesangaiexpress.com/page/items/51265/korens-koireng-affinity-with-tribes-inside-and-outside-india|title=Linguistic affinity|publisher=The Sangai Express|accessdate=2015-10-11|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222101507/http://www.thesangaiexpress.com/page/items/51265/korens-koireng-affinity-with-tribes-inside-and-outside-india|archivedate=2015-12-22}}</ref>

==People and occupation==
The village is home to people of Tangkhul Naga tribe. Majority of the inhabitants are Christians. Agriculture is the primary occupation of the inhabitants. Being a remote area, the village is often in the news for the poor transport system due to bad road condition and the inhabitants suffer most during the rainy season because of frequent landslides.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://e-pao.net/GP.asp?src=2..080815.aug15|title=Poor transport system|publisher=e-pao|accessdate=2015-10-11 }}</ref> The village is often used as transit route by militants for which there are frequent encounters between the Indian arm force and militant groups. There had been many incidents of incursion of land by the Myanmar army and Skipe is one of the villages that has lost some of its original land due to illegal encroachment by the neighboring country. Moreover, there has been reports of border pillar disappearance.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://e-pao.net/GP.asp?src=1..280109.jan09|title=Disappearance of border pillars|publisher=E-pao|accessdate=2015-10-11 }}</ref>
