Meitei Mayek Script
Meitei Mayek is the indigenous script for the Meitei language (also called Manipuri), spoken in Manipur, northeast India. The script was historically used but was replaced by the Bengali script. After decades of revival efforts, it was officially reinstated and is now one of the 22 official scripts recognized by the Indian Constitution.
