The People’s Linguistic Survey of India provides an overview of the extant and dying languages of India, as perceived by their speakers. It is the outcome of a nationwide survey of languages that has been documented by linguists, writers, social activists, and members of different speech communities. Critically, it encapsulates the world view of the speakers of the languages.

Manipur ki Bhashayen (PLSI Volume 18, Part 1) is a significant contribution that will make information about Manipur and its languages accessible not only within India but also globally. Manipur is a linguistically diverse state with numerous languages spoken within its borders. These languages are deeply connected to the identities of the people who speak them. Many of the languages presented in this volume are being introduced to the public for the first time.

A total of 26 languages are covered in this volume. The book describes linguistic features as well as folktales, riddles, popular phrases and proverbs. For the convenience of readers, Hindi translations of examples and quotations are provided. Additionally, a political map of Manipur is included in the book.
