Description
A Dictionary of the Principal Languages Spoken in the Bengal Presidency is a pioneering linguistic reference that addresses the complex multilingual landscape of 19th-century Bengal. This specialized dictionary provides translations and definitions across three major languages: English, Bengali, and Hindustani, all presented in Roman characters for accessibility and standardization.
Compiled by P. S. Drozario, this work represents an important historical document of linguistic scholarship during the colonial period. The use of Roman transliteration makes the dictionary particularly valuable for English speakers and non-native learners seeking to understand and communicate in the languages of the Bengal Presidency.
This hardcover edition is an indispensable resource for historians, linguists, scholars of South Asian languages, and anyone interested in the linguistic heritage of Bengal. The systematic organization and comprehensive coverage make it a fundamental reference for understanding the linguistic interactions and cultural exchanges of this significant historical region.
