Description
A Dictionary in English, Bengali, and Manipuri (1837) is a trilingual lexical resource designed to bridge communication between English, Bengali, and Manipuri speakers during British colonial rule in India. It offers translations and definitions across the three languages, aiding administrators, missionaries, scholars, and local learners in language acquisition and cross-cultural understanding. As one of the earliest recorded Manipuri dictionaries, it played a significant role in preserving and standardizing the Manipuri language while promoting educational and administrative efficiency in a multilingual colonial context.
