The Manipur Official Language Act, 1979

This Act establishes Manipuri, written in Bengali script, as the official language of the state of Manipur. It applies to the entire state and comes into force on a date appointed by the State Government. The legislation mandates the use of Manipuri for official purposes while allowing a fifteen-year transition period during which English remains valid in the Secretariat and specified offices. It also establishes a Commission and a Legislative Assembly Committee to recommend the progressive use of Manipuri and to oversee the shift from English, ensuring the language meets the state's administrative and cultural needs.
