The Tripuri (also known as Tripura, Tipra, Twipra, Tipperah) are a Tibeto-Burman-speaking ethnic group of Northeast Indian state of Tripura.[4][5][6] They are the descendants of the inhabitants of the Twipra/Tripura Kingdom in North-East India and Bangladesh. The Tripuri people through the Manikya dynasty ruled the Kingdom of Tripura for over 600 years starting from 1400 A.D. until the kingdom joined the Indian Union on 15 October 1949.[7] The Tipra Dynasty was established in 590 AD.[citation needed]
