About Manipuri
Manipuri, also known as Meiteilon, is a Tibeto-Burman language with a history stretching back over 2,000 years. It is the official language of Manipur state in northeastern India and is spoken by approximately 1.5 million people. The language uses the Meitei Mayek script, an ancient writing system that was revived in the 20th century after centuries of using the Bengali script.
Manipuri holds the distinction of being the first Tibeto-Burman language to receive official recognition in the Indian Constitution. It has a rich literary tradition, particularly in poetry and dance-drama, and plays a central role in the classical Manipuri dance form, one of India's major classical dance styles.
