Book Description

The Indo-Aryan languages are spoken by at least 700 million people
throughout India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the
Maldive Islands. They have a claim to great antiquity, with the
earliest Vedic Sanskrit texts dating to the end of the second
millennium B.C. With texts in Old Indo-Aryan, Middle Indo-Aryan and
Modern Indo-Aryan, this language family supplies a historical
documentation of language change over a longer period than any other
subgroup of Indo-European.

This volume is divided into two main sections dealing with general
matters and individual languages. Each chapter on the individual
language covers the phonology and grammar (morphology and syntax) of
the language and its writing system, and gives the historical
background and information concerning the geography of the language
and the number of its speakers.
