Book excerpt: Hindko, Panjabi, and Saraiki are three closely related, geographically contiguous languages of Pakistan. Together, they are the native language of some 125 million people. Panjabi alone ranks among the 15 most widely spoken languages in the world. The Grammar of Hindko, Panjabi, and Saraiki provides a comparative description of these three language varieties, focusing, where possible, on the variety of Hindko spoken in Abbottabad, the Panjabi spoken in Lahore, and the Saraiki spoken in Multan. Based on both fieldwork and corpus research, the grammar provides coverage of the phonology, orthography, morphology, and syntax of the language, with extensive exemplification presented in the native Perso-Arabic script along with standard Roman representations and morphological analysis. Written in an accessible style from a basic linguistic theory perspective, this work will be of use to linguistic researchers, language scholars, and students of the languages of Pakistan and South Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO HINDKO GRAMMAR Hindko is one of the charming languages of the Pak-Indo Subcontinent which is spoken broadly in the districts of Abbottabad, Haripur, Mansehra, Attock and the cities like Peshawar, Nowshera, Swabi, Kohat and some other cities and towns of Pakistan. From the viewpoint of some scholars Hindko is a dialect of Panjabi and to the others it is a separate language. Whether one can recognize it as a separate language or a dialect, Hindko is a beautiful language which has its own rich historical background, its own vocabulary treasure and grammatical rules and its own melodic language structure. Each language of the world is an immense heritage of the mankind which should be preserved by all means, whether it be a language of a little clan of the vast African jungles or the lingua franca of our times "English". Dying of a language is like the death of a heritage that has been achieved through the centuries and it, absolutely, is like the death of a living cell of the body of the mankind. After some years of my studies on Hindko, I realized that if something is not done, like the many different languages of the world, which remained as the old and forgotten names in the pages of history books or in some research books, this beautiful language, most likely, will also be a part of old times. What I could do to preserve this language, it was to prepare a grammar for Hindko. So I prepared this book and you will find a practical way of the Hindko grammar in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first extensive and reliable grammatical description of any traditional language of the Great Andamanese family. Akabea died out in the 1920s, but was extensively documented in the late nineteenth century by two British administrators, Edward Horace Man and Maurice Vidal Portman. Although neither was a trained linguist, their material nonetheless provides a sufficient basis for a reliable analysis of Akabea grammar, especially its morphology and its phrasal and clausal syntax, although there are inevitable limitations on our understanding of Akabea phonology, clause combining, and discourse structure. The grammar is accompanied by an online appendix that provides a diplomatic edition with commentary and analysis of the single most valuable resource for Akabea grammatical analysis, Portman's Dialogues. Raoul Zamponi and Bernard Comrie's Grammar of Akabea offers a unique insight into the culture, history, and prehistory of the Andaman Islands, and also broadens our understanding of the human capacity for language. It highlights the typologically interesting and cross-linguistically rare traits of the language, such as a rich system of somatic (body-part) prefixes and the phenomenon of Verb Root Ellipsis, whereby under certain circumstances the root of a verb may be absent, leaving behind a grammatical word consisting solely of affixes. The project at last makes this valuable evidence accessible both to linguists and to interested scholars from other disciplines, such as anthropology, history, and genetics.

Book excerpt: Illustrations: 3 Map Description: The present work attempts to analyse and describe Dakkhini, a variety of Urdu spoken in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh in the framework of descriptive linguistic theory. It presents the phonology, morphology and syntax of the dialect. It also discusses briefly the origin and development of Dakkhini, its speakers in Chittoor district and the whole of Andhra Pradesh and the existing relationship between Dakkhini and Telugu on the one hand and Dakkhini and standard Urdu on the other. It also has a section known as texts which contains a few samples of the data. Dakkhini has assumed crucial importance in socio-linguistics. Since its major implantation in the beginning of the fourteenth century, it has undergone subtle changes in its structure partly due to linguistic acculturation, convergence and aerial contact with different languages in different areas and partly due to innovations it has been making on its own over the years. It is therefore marked by great diversity and heterogeneity. The Dakkhini situation may thus serve not only as a testing ground to validate many a concept of aerial linguistics, but also as a mirror to read the dynamics of convergence of the languages and dialects belonging to two different milieu. The current book has been intended as a fairly detailed grammatical description of a dialect of Dakkhini which is unique in many ways. Although it does not directly deal with a socio-linguistic theme, it endeavours to provide sufficient evidence for a bi-directional convergence, that is, from Dravidian language to Dakkhini and vice versa. It is hoped that the work may arouse some curiosity in linguists working in the area of language contact, language variation, language topology, etc.

Book excerpt: Kashmir, the northern-most state of India, boasts a language which challenges every field of linguistics, be it modern, generative, comparative, synchronic and diachronic. Although Kashmiri is only spoken by approximately three million people, its syntax, similar to Germanic and other verb-second languages, has raised many significant issues within current generative theories proposed by Chomsky and other prominent linguists. The book contains extensive description of the syntax, morphology, agreement and pronominal clitics of Kashmiri. Its originality lies in the fact it presents a wealth of information on a relatively unknown verb-second language and will help to clarify certain key issues in the current theories.
