The information in N2042 on this script now seems a little out of date. http://std.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2/docs/n2042.pdf says:
<< The Manipuri script is a recently extinct script that was formerly used to write the Meithei language in Manipur State, India. The script may have been introduced as early as the fourteenth century CE or as late as the sixteenth. The only available source has been Grierson [Grierson, G. A. Linguistic Survey of India, Vol. 3, pt. 3., Bombay?, 1898?]>> However the script is apparently not extinct see: http://www.arbornet.org/~prava/eeyek/ where it is being used (and a font is available) and according to http://www.omniglot.com/writing/manipuri.htm "Since the early 1980s the Manipuri alphabet as been taught in schools in Manipur" also http://www.e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=news_section.meetei_mayek.Michamna_thengnariba_awaba - Chris -- Christopher J.
