Meitei (/ˈmeɪteɪ/;[3] Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".), also known as Manipuri (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".), is a Tibeto-Burman language of northeast India. It is the official language and the lingua franca of Manipur and an additional official language in four districts of Assam. It is one of the constitutionally scheduled official languages of the Indian Republic.[4] Meitei is the most widely-spoken Tibeto-Burman language of India and the third most widely spoken language of northeast India after Assamese and Bengali.[5] There are 1.76 million Meitei native speakers in India according to the 2011 census, 1.52 million of whom are found in the state of Manipur, where they represent the majority of its population. There are smaller communities in neighbouring Indian states, such as Assam (168,000), Tripura (24,000), Nagaland (9,500), and elsewhere in the country (37,500). The language is also spoken by smaller groups in neighbouring Myanmar[6] and Bangladesh.[1]

Meitei and Gujarati jointly hold the third place among the fastest growing languages of India, following Hindi and Kashmiri.[7]

Meitei is not endangered: its status has been assessed as safe by Ethnologue (where it is assigned to EGIDS level 2 "provincial language").[1] However, it is considered vulnerable by UNESCO.[8]

The Manipuri language is associated with the Ningthouja dynasty (Mangangs), the Khuman dynasty, the Moirangs, the Angoms, the Luwangs, the Chengleis (Sarang-Leishangthems), and the Khaba-Nganbas. Each had their respective distinct dialects and were politically independent from one another. Later, all of them fell under the dominion of the Ningthouja dynasty, changing their status of being independent "ethnicities" into those of "clans" of the collective Meitei community. The Ningthouja dialect was predominant,[9][10] and received heavy influences from the speech forms of the other groups.[11][12][13]

Meitei is one of the advanced literary languages recognised by Sahitya Akademi, India's National Academy of Letters.

Classification

Meitei belongs to the Tibeto-Burman branch of the Sino-Tibetan languages.[14][4]

During the 19th and 20th centuries, different linguists tried to assign Meitei to various sub-groups. Early classifier George Abraham Grierson (1903–1924) put it in Kuki-Chin, Vegelin and Voegelin (1965) in Kuki-Chin-Naga, and Benedict (1972) in Kuki-Naga. Robbins Burling has suggested that Meitei belongs to none of those groups.[15] Current academic consensus agrees with James Matisoff in placing Manipuri in its own subdivision of the Kamarupan group—a geographic rather than a genetic grouping.[4] However, some still consider Meitei to be a member of the Kuki-Chin-Naga branch.[16]

History

Yumbanlol (Yumpanlol), a group of 6th century Classical Meitei language copper plate inscriptions, written in Meitei script.

The Meitei language has existed for at least 2000 years.[15] According to linguist Suniti Kumar Chatterjee, the ancient Meitei literature dates back to 1500 to 2000 years before present.[17]

First Millennium CE

The earliest known Meitei language compositions is the ritual song Ougri (Template:Script/Meetei Mayek), which was used in religious and coronation ceremonies of Kangleipak. It may have existed before the Common Era.[18] Numit Kappa (Template:Langx), a religious epic that tells the tale of how the night was divided from the day, was also composed in the first century.[19]

Poireiton Khunthok (Template:Langx) is a 3rd-century narrative work describing the establishment of a colony in Kangleipak by a group of immigrants led by Poireiton, the younger brother of the god of the underworld.[20]

The Yumbanlol, a copper plate manuscript was composed in the 6th century or 7th century CE for the royal family of Kangleipak. It is a rare work of dharmashastra, covering sexuality, the relationships between husbands and wives, and instructions on how to run a household.[21]

The Khencho (Template:Script/Meetei Mayek), an early Meitei work of poetry was composed by the beginning of the 7th century CE.[22] Although it is obscure and unintelligible to present-day Meiteis, it is still recited as part of the Lai Haraoba festival.[23]

One of the best-preserved early Meitei language epigraphic records is a copper plate inscription dating to the reign of King Khongtekcha (r. c. 763 – 773 CE).[24] During the same time period, Akoijam Tombi composed the Panthoibi Khonggul (Script error: No such module "Lang".), an account of the romantic adventures of the deified Meitei princess Panthoibi.[25]

Second Millennium CE

In 1100 CE, a written constitution, Template:Langx, was finalised by King Loiyumba (r. c. 1074 – 1112 CE) of Kangleipak. It was a codification of the proto-constitution drafted by King Naophangba in 429 CE.[26][27]

Before 1675 CE, the Meitei language experienced no significant influence from any other languages.[15] Beginning in the late 17th century, Hindu influence on Meitei culture increased, and the Meitei language experienced some influences from other languages, on its phonology, morphology (linguistics), syntax and semantics. At the same time, the Hinduised King Pamheiba ordered that the Meitei script be replaced by the Bengali-Assamese script.[15]

In 1725 CE, Pamheiba wrote Parikshit, possibly the first piece of Meitei-language Hindu literature, based on the story of the eponymous king Parikshit of the Mahabharata.[28]

Geographical distribution

Script error: No such module "labelled list hatnote".

The majority of Meitei speakers, about 1.5 million[29] live in the Indian state of Manupur. Meitei is the official language of the Government of Manipur as well as its lingua franca.[4]

File:Map of Barak Valley.jpg
Districts of Barak Valley – Meitei speaking population settlement areas of Assam

There are nearly 170,000 Meitei-speakers in Assam,[29] mainly in the Barak Valley, where it is the third most commonly used language after Bengali and Hindi.[30] Manipuri is also spoken by about 9500 people in Nagaland, in communities such as Dimapur, Kohima, Peren and Phek.[2][29] Meitei is a second language for various Naga and Kuki-Chin ethnic groups.[2]

File:Sylhet in Bangladesh.svg
Areas with significant numbers of Meitei speakers in Bangladesh

There are around 15,000 Meitei speakers in Bangladesh[citation needed] mainly are in the districts of Sylhet, Moulvibazar, Sunamganj and Habiganj in the Sylhet Division of Bangladesh. In the past, there was a Meitei speaking population in Dhaka, Mymensingh and Comilla also.[31] Manipuri is used as a second language by the Bishnupriya Manipuri people.[2]

Myanmar has a significant Meitei speaking population in the states of Kachin and Shan and the regions of Yangon, Sagaing, and Ayeyarwady, among others.[32]

Name

According to the Ethnologue, the alternative names of Meitei language are Kathe, Kathi, Manipuri, Meetei, Meeteilon, Meiteilon, Meiteiron, Meithe, Meithei, Menipuri, Mitei, Mithe, Ponna.[2]

The name Meitei or its alternate spelling Meithei is preferred by many native speakers of Meitei over Manipuri.[33] The term is derived from the Meitei word for the language Meitheirón (Meithei + -lon 'language', pronounced Script error: No such module "IPA".).[33][34] Meithei may be a compound from mí 'man' + they 'separate'.[33] This term is used by most Western linguistic scholarship.[33] Meitei scholars use the term Meit(h)ei when writing in English and the term Meitheirón when writing in Meitei.[33] Chelliah (2015: 89) notes that the Meitei spelling has replaced the earlier Meithei spelling.[35]

The language (and people) is also referred to by the loconym Manipuri.[33] The term is derived from the name of the state of Manipur.[33] Manipuri is the official name of the language for the Indian government and is used by government institutions and non-Meitei authors.[33] The term Manipuri is also used to refer to the different languages of Manipur and to the people.[33] Additionally, Manipuri, being a loconym, can refer to anything pertaining to the Manipur state.

Speakers of Meitei language are known as "Kathe" by the Burmese people, "Moglie" or "Mekhlee" by the people of Cachar, Assam (Dimasas and Assamese) and "Cassay" by the Shan people and the other peoples living in the east of the Ningthee River (or Khyendwen River). "Ponna" is the Burmese term used to refer to the Meiteis living inside Burma.[36]

Dialects

The Meitei language exhibits a degree of regional variation; however, in recent years the broadening of communication, as well as intermarriage, has caused the dialectal differences to become relatively insignificant. The only exceptions to this occurrence are the speech differences of the dialects found in Tripura, Bangladesh and Myanmar.[37] The exact number of dialects of Meitei is unknown.[38]

The three main dialects of Meitei are: Meitei proper, Loi and Pangal. Differences between these dialects are primarily characterised by the extensions of new sounds and tonal shifts. Meitei proper is considered to be the standard variety—and is viewed as more dynamic than the other two dialects.[39] The brief table below compares some words in these three dialects:[40]

Standard Meitei Loi Pangal English translation
chaaba chaapa chaaba to eat
kappa kapma kappa to weep
saabiba saapipa saabiba to make
thamba thampa thamba to put
chuppiba chuppipa chuppiba to kiss

Devi (2002)[41] compares the Imphal, Andro, Koutruk, and Kakching dialects of Meitei.

Meitei is the sole official language of the Government of Manipur, and has been an official language of India since 1992.[4][42]

Meitei language was the court language of the historic Manipur Kingdom,[43] and before it merged into the Indian Republic.[44] The Sahitya Akademi, India's National Academy of Letters, recognised Meitei as one of the major advanced Indian literary languages in 1972, long before it became an official language in 1992. In 1950, the Government of India did not include Meitei in its list of 14 official languages.[45] A language movement, spearheaded by organisations including the Manipuri Sahitya Parishad and the All Manipur Students' Union demanded that Meitei be made an official language for more than 40 years, until Meitei was finally added to the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India in 1992.[46][47]

Meitei became an associate official language of Assam in 2024,[48] following several years of effort by the Meitei associate official language movement to protect the identity, history, culture and tradition of Manipuris in Assam.[49][50][51]

The Meitei language is one of the 13 official languages of the India used to administer police, armed services, and civil service recruitment exams.[52][53]

The Press Information Bureau of the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting publishes in 14 languages, including Meitei.[54]

Education

Meitei is a language of instruction in all in the educational institutions in Manipur. It is one of the 40 instructional languages offered by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), controlled and managed by the Ministry of Education.[55] Meitei is taught as a subject up to the post-graduate level in Indian universities, including Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi University, Gauhati University, and the University of North Bengal.[56][57] Indira Gandhi National Open University teaches Meitei to undergraduates.[58]

Assam

Meitei language instruction has been offered in the lower primary schools of Assam since 1956.[51] The Board of Secondary Education, Assam offers secondary education in Manipuri.[59] The Assam Higher Secondary Education Council of Assam offers both Meitei-language schooling and instruction in Meitei as a second language.[60]

Since 2020, the Assam Government has made an annual grant of ₹5 lakh (equivalent to ₹5.9 lakh or US$6,100 in 2023) to the Manipuri Sahitya Parishad (Manipuri Language Council). It also invested ₹6 crore (equivalent to ₹7.1 crore or US$740,000 in 2023) in the creation of a corpus for the development of the Meitei language.[51]

The Department of Manipuri of Assam University offers education up to the Ph.D. level in Meitei language.[61][62][63]

Tripura

Since 1998, the Government of Tripura has offered Meitei language as a "first language" subject at primary level in 24 schools throughout the state.[64]

In December 2021, Tripura University proposed to the Indian Ministry of Education and the University Grants Council (UGC), regarding the introduction of diploma courses in Meitei, along with international languages like Japanese, Korean and Nepali.[65]

Phonology

The exact classification of the Meitei language within Sino-Tibetan remains unclear. It has lexical resemblances to Kuki and Tangkhul.[66]

Tone

The Meitei language is a tonal language. There is a controversy over whether there are two or three tones.[67]

Segments

Meitei distinguishes the following phonemes:[68]

Consonants

Labial Dental/
Alveolar 		Palatal Velar Glottal
Nasal m n ŋ
Plosive voiceless unaspirated p t tʃ k ʔ
aspirated pʰ tʰ kʰ
voiced unaspirated b d dʒ ɡ
breathy bʱ dʱ ɡʱ
Fricative s h
Tap ɾ
Lateral l
Approximant w j

Vowels

Front Central Back
High i u
Mid e ɐ o
Low a

Note: the central vowel /ɐ/ is transcribed as <ə> in recent linguistic work on Meitei. However, phonetically it is never [ə], but more usually [ɐ]. It is assimilated to a following approximant: /ɐw/ = [ow], /ɐj/ = [ej].

Phonological processes

A velar deletion is noted to occur on the suffix -lək when following a syllable ending with a /k/ phoneme.[67]

Meitei has a dissimilatory process similar to Grassmann's law found in Ancient Greek and Sanskrit, though occurring on the second aspirate.[69] Here, an aspirated consonant is deaspirated if preceded by an aspirated consonant (including Script error: No such module "IPA".) in the previous syllable. The deaspirated consonants are then voiced between sonorants.[citation needed]

Writing systems

The Meitei script (Template:Langx)[70] is one of the official scripts of the Indian Republic. Meitei mayek is also known as Kanglei script (Template:Langx)[71] or kok sam lai script (Template:Langx), after its first three letters.[72] Its earliest known appearance is on 6th century coins.[73] It was used until the 18th century, when it was replaced by the Bengali script, and then revived in again massively in the 20th.[74] In 2021, the use of Meetei Mayek to write Manipuri was officially adopted by the government of Manipur, alongside Bengali script, with the Bengali script remaining co-official for a period of ten years until 2031.[75]

The Roman alphabet has been used in medium for teaching basic Meitei as a second language teaching by the Board of Secondary Education, Manipur.[76][77] More recently, the Board has issued a directive that no more Manipuri textbooks using the Latin alphabet be published.[78] Meitei language editions of the Bible in Roman script are very commonly used by the Christians in Manipur.[79]

The Naoriya Phulo script is a constructed script, invented by Laininghan Naoriya Phulo (1888–1941). It shares many similarities with Devanagari and Bengali script.[80] It was championed by Apokpa Marup, but was never widely adopted.[81]

Grammar

Sentences in the Meitei language use the subject–object–verb word order (SOV). For example, in the sentence Ei chak chai (ꯑꯩ ꯆꯥꯛ ꯆꯥꯢ), which translates to I eat rice, the gloss is "ei" (I), "chak" (rice), "chai" (eat).

Nouns

Nouns and pronouns are marked for number in Meitei. The plural is indicated by the suffixes -khoi (for personal pronouns and human proper nouns) and -sing (for all other nouns). Verbs associated with the pluralised nouns are unaffected. Examples are demonstrated below:[82]

Noun (Meitei) Noun (English) Example (Meitei) Example (English)
angaang baby angaang kappi Baby cries.
angaangsing babies angaangsing kappi Babies cry.

When adjectives are used to be more clear, Meitei utilises separate words and does not add a suffix to the noun. Examples are show in the chart below:[82]

Adjective (Meitei) Adjective (English) Example (Meitei) Example (English)
ama one mi ama laak'i A person comes.
khara some mi khara laak'i Some persons come.
mayaam many mi mayaam laak'i Many persons come.

Compound verbs

Compound verbs are created by combining root verbs each ending with aspect markers. While the variety of suffixes is high, all compound verbs utilise one of two:[83]

Suffix English translation
-thok out/ come out
-ning To wish/ want/ desire

Aspect markers appear as suffixes that clarify verb tense and appear at the end of the compound verb. Overall, the formula to construct a compound verb becomes [root verb] + [suffix] + [aspect marker]:[83]

Language Root verb Suffix Aspect marker Combined form
Meitei tum -thok -le tumthokle
English sleep out/ come out perfect aspect has started sleeping
Meitei tum -ning -le tumningle
English sleep want perfect aspect has felt sleepy

Compound verbs can also be formed utilising both compound suffixes as well, allowing utterances such as pithokningle meaning "want to give out".

The Khamba Thoibi Sheireng, a poem of 39,000 verses composed by Hijam Anganghal Singh and first published in 1940 (Template:Langx)[84] is regarded as the national epic of the Manipuris.[85][86] It is a classical Meitei language epic poem based on the ancient romantic adventure tale of Khamba and Thoibi of Moirang. It is regarded as the greatest of all Meitei epic poems.[87][88][89]

The Meitei classical language movement seeks to gain recognition for Meitei as one of the Classical Languages of India.[90][91][92]

Annual events

Various annual events are organised to promote, protect and develop Meitei language, in the sovereign states of India and Bangladesh in particular as well as in other parts of the world in general.

Software

Script error: No such module "labelled list hatnote". In 2021, Rudali Huidrom, a Manipuri researcher of the EBMT/NLP laboratory, Waseda University, Japan, created a text corpus named "EM Corpus" (shortened form of "Emalon Manipuri Corpus"). It is the first comparable text to text corpus built for Meitei language (mni) and English language (eng) pair from sentences. The writing system used for Meitei language in this corpus is Bengali script. It was crawled and collected from thesangaiexpress.com – the news website of "The Sangai Express", a daily newspaper of Manipur from August 2020 to 2021. In version 1, she created the monolingual data, having 1,034,715 Meitei language sentences and 846,796 English language sentences. In version 2, she created the monolingual data, having 1,880,035 Meitei language sentences and 1,450,053 English language sentences.[100][101]

EM-ALBERT is the first ALBERT model available for Meitei language. EM-FT is also FastText word embedding available for Meitei language. These resources were created by Rudali Huidrom and are now available at free of cost at the European Language Resources Association catalogue (ELRA catalogue) under CC-BY-NC-4.0 licence.[100][101]
