LEARN MANIPURI
Manipur is a fascinating destination for discerning tourists. Manipuri or Meiteilon is the language spoken commonly in Manipur. Here is a brief extract of Manipuri Grammar [D.N.S Bhat & M.S. Ningomba, Central Institute of Indian Languages;
http://home.t-online.de/home/LINCOM.EUROPA/191xa.htm ]

Manipuri (called Meiteilon in the language itself) is a Tibeto-Burman language belonging to the Kuki-Chin subgroup. The language is spoken primarily in the valley region of the State of Manipur, Índia (ca. 700,000 speakers, ca. 300,000 speakers in Burma, ca. 100,000 speakers in Assam, ca. 50,000 in Bangladesh and 30,000 in Tripura).
The grammar of Manipuri shows a number of interesting typological characteristics: There are only two major lexical categories, namely nouns and verbs, with adjectives and adverbs merging rather unrecognizably with verbs. Inflectional markers also split into two distinct categories, namely nominal and verbal inflections with exclusive membership.
