Meitei people (ꯃꯩꯇꯩ ꯃꯤꯌꯥꯝ), also referred to as the Manipuris (ꯃꯅꯤꯄꯨꯔꯤ ꯀꯥꯡꯂꯨꯞ), constitute a small diaspora community in the United Kingdom. Originating from the northeastern Indian state of Manipur and other parts of South Asia, the community is composed of individuals who have migrated for purposes including education, employment, and family reunification. While maintaining aspects of their linguistic and cultural identity, Meitei individuals in the UK participate in various sectors of society and are part of the broader South Asian British diaspora in the region.
