@Kutchkutch: That's very interesting, thanks. This dictionary looks better and appears more user friendly than others of its kind. I wish there was a native speaker of Manipuri who edited wiktionary. The closest we ever got was Kuldip Limbu who spoke Limbu which like Manipuri is a Sino-Tibetan language. -- 𝓑𝓱𝓪𝓰𝓪𝓭𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓪^{(𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓴)} 12:35, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

@Bhagadatta: Thanks for responding. It does look better and appear more user friendly than others of its kind. According to Wikipedia, the language is significant because:

It is one of the official languages of the Government of India […] Meitei is the most spoken Sino-Tibetan language of India and the most spoken language in Northeast India after Bengali and Assamese.

Hopefully, the dictionary will be of use to @Msasag. Although making sense of the Sino-Tibetan lexicon might be challenging, there are several terms derived from Sanskrit perhaps through Assamese or Bengali. According to Korean_wave#India

In 2000 in the Indian state of Manipur, where Bollywood movies were banned by separatists, consumers gradually turned their attention to Korean entertainment. According to Agence France-Presse, Korean phrases were commonly heard in the schoolyards and street markets of Manipur.

So, there may be Korean borrowings that are probably not in the dictionary. Kutchkutch (talk)
