ishnupriya Manipuri is a language spoken by over 100,000 people in the Indian states of Assam and Tripura and the neighboring Bangladeshi state of Sylhet and is related to such major regional languages as Bengali and Assamese. A small community of Bishnupriya Manipuri people lives within the larger Indian and Bangladeshi immigrant community of New York, particularly in Jackson Heights.
