Tirukkural translations into Meitei

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


As of 2015, the Tirukkural has been translated into Meitei at least once.

Background[edit]

The only Meitei translation of the Kural text was made by Soibam Rebika Devi, a botanist, linguist, and translator from Imphal, Manipur, who translated the complete work in prose form. The translation was completed in about a year and a half's time.[1] It is considered the first ever translation of a Tamil work into the Meitei language.[1][2] The translation was published by the Central Institute of Classical Tamil (CICT), Chennai in 2012.[3] The translation was part of CICT's project of translating the Kural into multiple languages including Telugu, Kannada, Nepali, Punjabi and other Indian languages.[4] The translation was officially released in Imphal in March 2014 by the governor of Manipur.[5]

In November 2014, the CICT planned to recite the Meitei translation along with translations in 9 other languages to commemorate the launch of the institution's Telugu and Kannada translations of the Kural text.[6]
