The work of automatic segmentation of a Manipuri language (or Meiteilon) word into syllabic units is demonstrated in this paper. This language is a scheduled Indian language of Tibeto-Burman origin, which is also a very highly agglutinative language. This language usage two script: a Bengali script and Meitei Mayek (Script). The present work is based on the second script. An algorithm is design so as to identify mainly the Manipuri origin word. The result of the algorithm shows a Recall is 74.77, Precision is 91.21 and F-Score is 82.18 which is a reasonable score with the first attempt of such kind for this language.
