Description
This scholarly work presents an exhaustive examination of the Bihari language and its various dialects as spoken across Bihar and the North-Western Provinces of India. George A. Grierson, a renowned linguist and philologist of the colonial era, meticulously documents seven distinct grammars representing different regional variants and subdialects of the Bihari language.
The text serves as a foundational reference for understanding the linguistic diversity of Eastern India during the 19th century. Grierson’s systematic approach to grammar, syntax, and regional variations provides invaluable insights into the structure and usage patterns of Bihari across different communities and geographic regions. This comprehensive study remains essential for linguists, historians, and scholars interested in Indian languages and dialect studies.
Originally published as part of Grierson’s larger linguistic survey work, this volume represents meticulous fieldwork and linguistic analysis of a language family that continues to be spoken by millions today.
