Yek

Yek[1] also known as Salai are the collective of clans of the native people of Kangleipak (Manipur).The natives included among the yek[2] include Anal, Tangkhul, Mao, Maring, Kabui, Chothe, Purum, Khoibu, and Kharam.[3] The clan names come from various dialects and surnames but mean the same thing. All natives of Kangleipak are included in the 7 major yek[4] or parent clan. It may be noted that the term Hao[5] used to mean tribes by Meitei people may be the common name of the native of Manipur Kingdom as both Meitei and various other hao share deep similarity in culture and tradition.[6]
