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. Divided into two parts, this hardcover edition offers a thorough examination of linguistic structures and practical applications.
The first part presents a systematic grammar covering phonetics, morphology, and syntax of the Maithili language. The second part includes a chrestomathy—a collection of selected passages and literary excerpts—that illustrates authentic usage and provides context for language learners. The comprehensive vocabulary section serves as an essential reference tool for students, scholars, and linguists interested in Indo-Aryan languages.
Originally compiled by one of the foremost authorities on Indian languages, this work remains a valuable resource for understanding the linguistic heritage of Bihar and the broader Maithili-speaking communities across India and Nepal.
