Beyond the word list
A fixed list can never cover a living language. Manipuri AI handles the rest: word meanings in context, honorific forms, SOV sentence construction, and conversion between romanized Manipuri, Bengali script and Meitei Mayek. Ask something like "what does ‘nungshiba’ mean and how do I use it in a sentence?"
