Manipuri is a T-B language of the Sino-Tibetan language family. It is the official language of Manipur, a northeastern state of India. The paper discusses three types of relative clause structure in Manipuri. 1. Internally headed relative clause(IHRC), 2. Externally headed relative clause(EHRC) and 3. Headless Relative clause (HRC).In the case of HRC, a sufficient referent capable of standing for the deleted head noun must be present such as-verb exhibiting nominal property, quantifying words, genitive constructions and demonstratives; this is situational and context sensitive. In cases where relative clause structure is formed with quantifiers, the quantifiers can only follow the head noun. 4.
