Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Published in 1812, this study of Malay in its written form was begun during William Marsden's service with the East India Company in Sumatra (17719). He continued his textual work in England upon his return, thus putting his practical knowledge into a solid scholarly frame. An expert in Asian languages and an outstanding Malay scholar in the English-speaking world, Marsden (17541836) was a fellow of the Royal Society from 1783 and later its vice-president and treasurer. This work is distinctive for its substantial MalayEnglish section, and for the use of examples from original Malay texts collected by the author. Despite being superseded by subsequent dictionaries, it is still a highly regarded and valuable source of information, especially about older, specialised and regional terms. The introduction provides the reader with a history of the Malayan language, including its spread, usage and regional variations. Published in 1812, this work is the product of thorough first-hand and textual study by a noted scholar and expert on the Malayan language. It remains valuable today as a history as well as a dictionary, including regional variations and specialised terms, as well as original Malay texts. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781108055093
