Meitei literature or Manipuri literature is the literature written in Meitei language (officially called Manipuri language). It refers to the texts composed in Meitei language since the 10th century BC[2] till present. Most of them are associated with prose, fiction, drama, poetry and Sanamahism, the Meitei religion, and were composed in Ancient Manipur, Medieval Manipur and Modern Manipur.[3] The Puya (Meitei texts) served as the only basis of literature, besides the oral literature, in both ancient and medieval times.[4]
