Dear Huynh Trong Khanh,
Thank you for this very interesting information which is news to me. I know
Ven. Ashin Thitzana, having first met him in 1982 at a Buddhist centre in
the wilderness here in Ontario, Canada and at that time I had asked him if
he would teach me Pali which however never happened according to the plans.
In 2012 I organized a 10 day retreat for him at the same centre but at the
last minute he changed it to a vipassanā retreat instead of the study one I
was hoping for but we managed to get some Pali lessons.
This book is the English translation of the Burmese original published in
2012. He told me back in 2008 he was planning an English translation after
he published the Burmese version. But I wonder about the English as I always
had a hard time understanding him through his thick Burmese accent and
my being hard of hearing doesn't help. He doesn't bother much with emails
and hasn't responded to any of mine for the past 3 years.
As Bryan says, the Kaccāyana approach to Pali grammar is very different from
the Western approach (influence by Latin). I was already taking an interest
in traditonal Indian grammar in the late 70s for both Pāli and Sanskrit.
Best wishes,
Jim

Subject: [palistudy] Kaccayana Pali Grammar
Dear all,
In case that someone does not hear about this new. The Kaccayana Pali
Grammar is now just published by pariyatti with nice format and detailed
translation & explanation by Bhikkhu Thitzana. You could take a look here:
Kaccayana Pali Grammar – Volume 2
I have heard about this Pali Grammar Work - that it is traditional Pali
Grammar teaching document during thousand year. However, my question is
that: does it has any different approach or opinion compared with common
western Pali Grammar textbooks and documents? In my imagination, the western
scholars have certainly researched it and synthesize its valuable contents
into their works
Sincerely yours,
