Description
This scholarly work by Kavasji Edalji Kanga presents a thorough and practical grammar of the Avesta language, one of the oldest known Indo-European languages. The text is uniquely structured to provide comparative analysis with Sanskrit, enabling readers to understand the linguistic relationships between these ancient languages.
The grammar covers essential elements of Avesta morphology and syntax, making it accessible to both beginners and advanced students of comparative linguistics. Kanga’s expertise shines through in the detailed explanations of grammatical structures, phonetic variations, and linguistic patterns.
The book features dedicated chapters on syntax, providing insight into sentence construction and language use, as well as a specialized section examining the Gatha dialect—the oldest layer of Avestan texts. This comprehensive approach makes it an invaluable resource for students of ancient languages, comparative philology, and Zoroastrian studies.
