The Meitei script (ꯃꯩꯇꯩ ꯃꯌꯦꯛ) or the Meetei script is an abugida used for the Meitei language, the official language of Manipur state of India. It was used until the 18th century, when it was replaced by the Bengali alphabet. A few manuscripts survive. In the 20th century, the script has experienced a resurgence, and is again being used.
Meitei literature, also known as Manipuri literature, refers to the literature written in Meitei language, one of the official languages of the Government of India. An ancient institution of learning named the Luwang Nonghumsang, later known as the Pandit Loishang, collected the sources of indigenous Meitei knowledge and philosophy until the 18th century. The presence of writing among the Meiteis is assumed to go back to the Kangleipak state under king Loiyumba in the early 12th century. The Meitei script is a Brahmic abugida. It is known only from the Puya manuscripts discovered in the first half of the 20th century. Manuscripts of the 18th and 19th century used the Bengali alphabet. The existence of the Meitei script in the 15th-century hinges on the authenticity of an inscription dated to the reign of Senbi Kiyamba.
