Languages of South Asia : A Guide, Hardback Book

Languages of South Asia : A Guide Hardback

Part of the Routledge Revivals series

Hardback

Description

First published in 1982, Languages of South Asia covers all important languages and language groups of the so-called Indian subcontinent (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan).

It concentrates on the more southern languages, that is the Indo-Aryan, Dravidian and Munda groups; a brief survey of Tibeto-Burman languages is also included.

As well as giving a description of the current status and character of each language, Dr. Zograph goes into a detailed structural analysis of its phonology, morphology and syntax.

The problems of the historical background of the modern languages, and their classification, are also discussed.

The book is supplemented by two language maps, tables showing the main alphabets, a bibliography of reliable works on the subject and an index of 350 language names used in the text.

This book will be of interest to students of language, linguistics and South Asian studies.
