'''Loi''' is the word in the [[Meitei language]] (Meiteilon) for the term "[[Scheduled Castes and Tribes|scheduled caste]]". The term ''Loi'' is given to the indigenous and aboriginal people of [[Manipur]] in [[northeast India]] who refused to adopt [[Hinduism]] or were semi-Hinduised when the newly converted Manipuri king ordered all his subjects to adopt the religion.<br />
<br />
The [[Chakpa language]] is also known as Loi. Although Chakpa people are usually considered to be Loi, not all Loi are Chakpa.<ref name="Huziwara2020">{{cite journal|last1=Huziwara|first1=Keisuke|title=On the genetic position of Chakpa within Luish languages|journal=Himalayan Linguistics|volume=19|issue=2|year=2020|issn=1544-7502|doi=10.5070/H91150999}}</ref><br />
