Discover the foundational volume of the ‘Linguistic Survey of India,’ a monumental work by Sir George Abraham Grierson. This comprehensive survey, meticulously detailing 364 languages and dialects of British India, originated from a pressing need to accurately understand the subcontinent’s linguistic diversity. Initiated after a resolution at the Oriental Congress in Vienna, Grierson’s ambitious project spanned decades. Volume I, Part I, the ‘Introductory’ section, lays the groundwork for this unparalleled linguistic exploration. Explore Grierson’s rigorous research, his collaboration with European scholars, and the eventual celebration of its completion. Essential for linguists, historians, and anyone fascinated by the rich tapestry of Indian languages.
