The Bishnupriya Manipuris, officially known as simply the Bishnupriyas, are a group of Indo-Aryan people that live in Assam, Tripura, Manipur and northeastern Bangladesh. They speak the Bishnupriya, which is a creole of Bengali language and Meitei language (officially known as Manipuri language) and it still retains its pre-Bengali features. The most distinctive feature of the language is it replete with Tibeto-Burman (Meitei) elements. The culture of the people is highly influenced by that of the Meiteis, with the exception of a few folk practices which are prevalent among the Meiteis.In the 2020s, the Bishnupriya people started demanding that the people of their ethnicity living in Assam should be given the status of an “indigenous people” of Assam and treated like other indigenous commu
