Synopsis
Excerpt from Grammar of the Persian Language
A foreigner, who is under the necessity of addressing the natives of a country in their own language, must throw himself upon their candid and indulgent criticism. However familiar he may have become with their speech, for the purpose of daily life — whatever pains he may have taken to make himself acquainted with the style of their standard authors — he cannot fail to be aware, that there are peculiarities of expression and construction in all languages, which those who speak them as their native tongues practise unconsciously, but which a stranger can scarcely ever hope to command at will. Impressed, deeply, with a true sense of my own deficiencies, I therefore, with unfeigned humility, solicit the indulgence of my readers to the composition of the following pages; in which, for reasons sufficiently obvious, I, a native of Persia, undertake to communicate the elements of Persian Grammar to English Students, in an English dress. At the same time, I may so far venture to feel confident that my meaning will be found to be intelligibly conveyed, as the kind supervision of a liberal and benevolent friend has removed the likelihood of any material mistakes.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Published in 1841, this book offers a comprehensive guide to the Persian language, specifically tailored for English speakers. The author, a native Persian and professor of languages at the East-India Company's College, recognized the limitations of existing Persian grammars written by European scholars. He aimed to bridge the gap between literary Persian and the spoken language used in everyday life. The book delves into the intricacies of Persian grammar, covering topics such as the alphabet, pronunciation, parts of speech, and sentence structure. It emphasizes the idiomatic expressions and nuances of Persian, providing learners with a deeper understanding of the language's cultural context. Beyond grammatical rules, this book explores the Persian language's unique character and beauty through dialogues that showcase national sentiments and manners. The dialogues, presented with English translations, provide practical examples of how Persian is used in various situations. The author's insights into Persian grammar and culture shed light on the language's historical development and its significance as a tool for cross-cultural understanding. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
