Synopsis
Excerpt from A Comparative Grammar of the Modern Aryan Languages of India, Vol. 2: To Wit, Hindi, Panjabi, Sindhi, Gujarati, Marathi, Oriya and Bangali
Two years and a half have elapsed since I sent home my First Volume. This Second Volume would have been ready sooner but for the constant interruptions to which I have been subjected. The pressure of official work has largely increased, and, at one time, when I was called on to take charge of the administration of the Province of, Orissa, was so heavy as to compel me to lay aside all literary work for six months.
To this cause must also be ascribed much of the dis jointed and unfinished appearance of some parts of the work, for which I must ask the reader's indulgence.

A Comparative Grammar of the Modern Aryan Languages of India, Vol. 2
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the formation of the noun and pronoun in seven Indo-Aryan languages â" Hindi, Panjabi, Sindhi, Gujarati, Marathi, Oriya, and Bengali â" offering a vital perspective on these languages. By mapping the evolution of these noun and pronoun forms from a comparative standpoint, the author emphasizes the multifaceted nature of the languages themselves. The author demonstrates that the noun as employed in Sanskrit, from which the modern languages are derived, contained three divisions â" the root, the suffix, and the termination, forming a rich linguistic tapestry. This book examines the genesis and evolution of these various parts of speech, providing a coherent picture of how they have shaped these modern-day languages. Ultimately, the book highlights the ways in which the evolution of nouns and pronouns has had a profound impact on the diverse expressions of Indo-Aryan languages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330472576_0
