About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from A Grammar of the Tamil Language

In constructing the chapters on Orthography and Etymology, I have followed more the order of the native Grammars, than that of European languages, because I judged it expedient to introduce the student at once to the native manner of treating the subject; and to facilitate the study of the native Grammars themselves. I have, however, every where noticed the difference between the Tamil and the European languages, and in the Appendix given a translation of the English particles into Tamil, noticing various other differences between the English and Tamil idioms.
