Excerpt from A Simplified Grammar of the Pali Language
It would be rather out of place in an elementary Gram mar to enter into a long discussion about the age and origin of the Pali language. A few words on the subject will be sufficient: Kuhn, following Westergaard, holds Pfili to be the vernacular of Ujjein, the capital of Mz'ilava at the time when Mahinda, the son of Asoka, took the sacred Canon with him to Ceylon (beitrage, p. On the other hand, Oldenberg, rejecting that tradition, considers Pali to be the original language of the Kalinga country (vinaya pitaka, Introduction, p. Liv). He compares the language of the large inscription at Khandagiri (cunningham, Corpus Inscriptionum, i. And finds only very little difference between this and the pah. From this he con cludes that there must have been, about a hundred and fifty years before Mahinda, a frequent intercourse between Kalinga and the island; in fact, that the religion, together with its language, was brought over from there to Ceylon.

A Simplified Grammar of the Pali Language (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details Pali, the venerable language of ancient texts of Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism, which is the root lexicon for many Southeast Asian languages. The book covers a wide range of Pali's grammatical structure, giving detailed explanations and examples, many brought from previously unpublished sources. Once a living language, Pali has been preserved through the chanting of sacred texts for centuries and has undergone several transformations in the process. The author provides context by comparing Pali to its ancestor Sanskrit, as well as Prakrit and other vernacular dialects, mapping its extensive evolution over time. The author's analysis illuminates the fluidity of Pali and its foundational relationship to several modern tongues. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332752331_0
