Description
This seminal work by Duncan Forbes presents a thorough and methodical approach to understanding the Hindustani language, one of the most widely spoken languages in the Indian subcontinent. The grammar is uniquely structured to accommodate both the Oriental script and the Roman character systems, making it accessible to Western scholars and students of the period.
The text is distinguished by its extensive copper-plate illustrations that meticulously depict the Persian and Devanágarí writing systems. These visual aids serve as invaluable references for understanding the intricate alphabetic structures and their proper formation. Forbes’ work represents a significant contribution to linguistic scholarship and remains an important historical resource for those studying Hindustani language, Indian linguistics, and comparative language systems.
