English: Classical Chinese language (Literary Mandarin language) & Classical Meitei language (Literary Manipuri language) root words for “to state” or “to talk” (besides many other rendered meanings) are 论 (Lùn) & ꯂꯣꯟ (Lon) respectively (written in traditional Chinese character & Meetei Mayek script)

Additional meanings that 论 (Lùn) expresses include: to discuss, to reason, to debate, to argue, to assess, to evaluate, to judge, to weigh, to state, to talk about, to recount, to treat, opinion, view, theory, doctrine, to regard, to consider, etc.

Additional meanings that ꯂꯣꯟ (Lon) (synonymously used with ꯂꯣꯜ / Lol due to free variation of "-n" and "-l" sounds in Meitei language) expresses include: language, one's character, behaviour, to be able to speak, to place sth above another, to heap up, to speak, to converse between two or more individuals, etc.

Notably, both Chinese and Meitei belong to the Sino-Tibetan language family. Therefore, both the languages descend from their common ancestor, Proto-Sino-Tibetan language, thereby sharing strikingly similar vocabularies, with distinctive styles of pronunciations, spellings, tonality, etc.
