Meithei love poem
Mingsenda tariba nangi mami
Masi eigi khwaidagi fajaba seirengni,
Adubu, masi mangkhini thurase.
Masi eigi aroibani, "Eina nangbu nungsi"!

Meithei language
The meitei (meithei, manipuri), is a language spoken in India, in the state of Manipur, where it is an official language. 1.3 million people will be able to understand these translated verses into meitei, a language belonging to the Kukois group of Tibetan-Burmese languages, which one also find in Bangladesh and Burma. In principle the manipuri is written with a particular script (meitei mayek). For this translation I have only a romanized version, but it will have the advantage of giving you an idea of how it must be say.
Manipur
Manipur is a state of India between Burma, Nagaland, Mizoram and Assam. Located in the chain of the Arakan, Manipur has a mountainous territory to 92%. All these mountainous areas constitute an important forest reserve.
