Description
This seminal work by George A. Grierson presents a thorough introduction to the Maithili language, spoken in North Bihar. Divided into two comprehensive parts, the book serves as an essential resource for linguists, scholars, and language enthusiasts seeking to understand this significant regional language.
The first part covers detailed grammar rules and linguistic structures of Maithili, breaking down complex grammatical concepts into understandable sections. The second part combines a chrestomathy—a collection of selected literary passages—with an extensive vocabulary guide. This dual approach allows readers to both understand the theoretical framework of the language and see practical applications through authentic texts.
Grierson’s systematic methodology and scholarly approach make this volume invaluable for academic study and language acquisition. Originally published by a respected academic press, this reprint by Gyan Publishing House ensures continued access to this foundational linguistic work for contemporary scholars and students of Indian languages.
