 note = {The main attempt of the paper is to examine how the Bengali words amalgamated with Manipuri. The influence of Bengali culture over the religion and language of Meitei society is intense. This cultural syncretism rose up the status of Bengali in the Meitei society. The Bengali words started employing in the invitation cards in Manipur since the Meitei (Manipuri) merged with the Hinduism in the early 18th century. Ironically, the Manipuri speakers considered their mother tongue unsuitable to be used for ritual purposes. The religious beliefs of the people which are rooted in the history of the Meitei community were challenged leading to the downfall of Manipuri culture and language. A statistical survey based on the percentage of Bengali words used in invitation cards is also taken to analyze and to support the argument of this paper.},
