About this Item

Language: English. About the Book:-In order to account for the perhaps somewhat unusual arrangement of this book, the author must explain, that his original plan was merely to write a grammar of the Eastern Hindi accompanied by short notes, pointing out its Gaudian affinities. Gradually these notes grew to such an extent as to change almost entirely the character of the book, which in its present state is rather a comparative grammar of the Gaudian languages than a simple grammar of the Eastern Hindi. The two subjects have been kept apart as much as possible, so as to enable the reader to use the book ad libitum for the study of either, the Eastern Hindi only, or the Gaudian generally. For this purpose the comparative matter has been mainly distributed in the paragraphs headed ÔaffinitiesÕ and ÔderivationÕ the others refer to Eastern Hindi. The amount of information contained within this volume, is very much more than may appear at first sight. An idea of its extent may be gained by a glance over the index of subjects. The book is the product of extensive study of Gaudian languages. A language-map and a table of alphabets also given to easy understand of the subject. About the Author:-Augustus Frederic Rudolf Hoernl CIE, was an Indologist and philologist. He is famous for his studies on the Bower Manuscript (1891), Weber Manuscript (1893) and other discoveries in northwestern China and Central Asia particularly in collaboration with Aurel Stein.

He retired from the Indian office in 1899 and settled in Oxford, where he continued to work through the 1910s on archaeological discoveries in Central Asia and India.

Synopsis

In order to account for the perhaps somewhat unusual arrangement of this book, the author must explain, that his original plan was merely to write a grammar of the Eastern Hindi accompanied by short notes, pointing out its Gaudian affinities. Gradually these notes grew to such an extent as to change almost entirely the character of the book, which in its present state is rather a comparative grammar of the Gaudian languages than a simple grammar of the Eastern Hindi. The two subjects have been kept apart as much as possible, so as to enable the reader to use the book ad libitum for the study of either, the Eastern Hindi only, or the Gaudian generally. For this purpose the comparative matter has been mainly distributed in the paragraphs headed ‘affinities’ and ‘derivation’ the others refer to Eastern Hindi. The amount of information contained within this volume, is very much more than may appear at first sight. An idea of its extent may be gained by a glance over the index of subjects. The book is the product of extensive study of Gaudian languages. A language-map and a table of alphabets also given to easy understand of the subject.
