Item description from seller

Language: English,Bhojpuri. About The Book: "A Comparative Dictionary of the Bih?r? Language" is a seminal work by George Abraham Grierson, first published between 1883 and 1887. This comprehensive dictionary serves as a pioneering resource for the study of the Bihari language, spoken predominantly in the Bihar region of India. Grierson's meticulous research involved comparative analysis of various dialects within the Bihari language family, including Magahi, Maithili, Bhojpuri, and others. The dictionary provides extensive coverage of vocabulary, grammar, and linguistic variations, offering valuable insights into the linguistic diversity of the region. Grierson's work not only facilitated communication and understanding among speakers of different Bihari dialects but also laid the groundwork for further research in the field of linguistics. His contributions to the study of Indian languages, particularly Bihari, remain highly regarded, and "A Comparative Dictionary of the Bih?r? Language" continues to be an indispensable resource for scholars, linguists, and researchers interested in the linguistic heritage of India's Bihar region. About The Compiler: A. F. Rudolf Hoernle (1841–1918) was a distinguished scholar and Indologist renowned for his contributions to the study of Indian history, culture, and languages. He held notable positions such as the Director of Public Instruction in the North-Western Provinces and Oudh. Hoernle's scholarly pursuits spanned various disciplines, including archaeology, linguistics, and anthropology. He made significant contributions to the understanding of Indian epigraphy and numismatics. Hoernle's meticulous research and publications have had a lasting impact on the field of Indian studies, providing valuable insights into the ancient civilizations and cultural heritage of the Indian subcontinent. George Abraham Grierson (1851-1941) was a prominent British linguist, philologist, and civil servant, notable for his extensive work on the languages and cultures of India. He served in the Indian Civil Service for several decades, during which he conducted extensive linguistic surveys across the Indian subcontinent. Grierson's most significant contribution is his monumental Linguistic Survey of India, a comprehensive documentation of the languages spoken in British India. His work significantly advanced the understanding of Indian linguistics, contributing immensely to the preservation and study of diverse languages and dialects. Grierson's legacy continues to influence linguistic research and cultural studies in India and beyond. The Title 'A Comparative Dictionary of the Bih?r? Language: Part I.
