Manipuri is both a minority and morphologically rich language with genetic features similar to Tibeto Burman languages.It has Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) order, agglutinative verb morphology and is monosyllabic.Morphology and syntax are not clearly distinguished in this language.Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a useful research field of computer science that deals with processing of a large amount of natural language corpus.The NLP applications encompass E-Dictionary, Morphological Analyzer, Reduplicated Multi-Word Expression (RMWE), Named Entity Recognition (NER), Part of Speech (POS) Tagging, Machine Translation (MT), Word Net, Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) etc.In this paper, we present a study on the advancements in NLP applications for Manipuri language, at the same time presenting a comparison table of the approaches and techniques adopted and the results obtained of each of the applications followed by a detail discussion of each work.
