Description
This seminal work by George A. Grierson provides an authoritative introduction to the Maithili language, one of the major languages spoken in North Bihar and Nepal. The text is organized into three main sections: a detailed grammatical analysis covering phonetics, morphology, and syntax; a chrestomathy featuring authentic literary passages for practical learning; and a comprehensive vocabulary list for reference.
Grierson’s meticulous approach to linguistic documentation makes this an invaluable resource for scholars, linguists, and language enthusiasts seeking to understand the structure and nuances of Maithili. The first edition represents a significant contribution to Indo-Aryan linguistic studies and remains relevant for academic research and language preservation efforts.
Originally published as part of Grierson’s broader work on Indian languages, this dedicated volume on Maithili serves as both a textbook for learners and a scholarly reference work.
