Everything about Mahabharata Theory Of Bishnupriya Language totally explained
Mahabharata, Manipur and the Bishnupriya Manipuris
Bishnupriya Scholars like
Shri Mahendra Kumar Singha,
Pandit Sena Singha and some other history writers hold that
Babhrubahana and his descendants comprising of many other colonies of
Indo-Aryan stock are called
Bishnupriya, speaking a language of
Indo-Aryan origin.
According to these scholars, they're worshippers of Vishnu and Lord Vishnu was installed by Babhrubahana from Hastinapura. Their view is that, Meiteis and Meitei language is of kuki-chin origin and a kuki-chin group language group can't be related with the people and language of
epic Mahabharata.
They hold that BPM is highly influenced by the Sanskrit and Maharastri as well as Sauraseni Prakrits that's colloquial language of the soldiers and the people of Kuru Panchaya and Mathsadesh including Hastina Indraprastha
Shri
Jagat Mohan Singha and Sri
Birendra Singha developed the theory on observation of
morphology,
vocables and
phonology of
Bishnupriya Manipuri (BPM) language. They hold that BPM is highly influenced by the Sanskrit and Maharastri as well as Sauraseni
Prakrits.(17) Sauraseni Prakrit colloquial language of the soldiers and the people of
Kuru Panchaya and
Mathsadesh including
Hastina Indraprastha etc. All the characteristics of
Mahararstri and
Sauraseni Prakrits are exactly found in the BPM. For example, the verbal forms change following number, gender or the subjects in Bishnupriya Manipuri as visible in the Vedic, Pali and Prakrit language -
Singular
1st person - Mi Jauriga (I'm going )
2nd Person - Ti Jarga (You go )
3rd person - Ta Jarga (He goes ), Ta Jakga (he may go )
Plural
1st person - Ami Jiarga (We are going )
2nd Person - Tumi Jaraiga (You go )
3rd person - Tanu Jitaraga (They go ), Tanu Jakaga (They may go )
W.Shaw and
Raj Mohan Nath, two eminent scholars are of the view that " Bishnupriya " with its Devanagari script had been language of ancient
Manipur.(18) On the other hand, some other Bishnupriya Scholars like Dr. K.P. Sinha has objected to claim of Manipur to the alleged connection of Hindu legend. Dr. Sinha tried to prove his theory on the basis that Bishnupriya Manipuri language as a resultant language of
Magadhi Prakrit.(19) According to him the origin of a language is to be inferred not from the history of the people; the origin of a community and the origin of their language don't necessarily go together.
