Description
An Introduction To The Maithili Language of North Bihar is a seminal work by George A. Grierson, one of the most respected linguists of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This second edition provides an exhaustive examination of Maithili, a language spoken in the Mithila region of North Bihar and neighboring areas.
The book is structured in three main sections: a comprehensive grammar covering phonetics, morphology, and syntax; a chrestomathy featuring authentic literary texts and passages; and an extensive vocabulary with detailed definitions and usage examples. The grammar section methodically explains the language’s complex system of cases, tenses, and verbal forms, while the chrestomathy offers readers exposure to genuine Maithili prose and poetry.
This scholarly work serves as an indispensable resource for linguists, language students, and researchers interested in Indo-Aryan languages and regional Indian languages. Its meticulous approach and authoritative treatment have established it as the standard reference for Maithili studies.
