Description
This scholarly work presents a detailed examination of the seven major grammars and linguistic variations of the Bihari language as spoken throughout Bihar and adjacent regions of the North-Western Provinces during the colonial era. George A. Grierson, a renowned linguist and philologist, meticulously documents the grammatical structures, phonetic characteristics, and regional subdialects that distinguish various communities within the Bihari-speaking territories.
The text serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the historical development of Indo-Aryan languages and their regional manifestations. Grierson’s systematic approach to cataloging dialects and subdialects provides insights into the sociolinguistic landscape of nineteenth-century Eastern India. This work remains a fundamental reference for linguists, historians, and scholars interested in Indian language families and colonial-era linguistic documentation.
