Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comparative study of three languages: Hindustani, Persian, and Arabic. The first is an Indo-Aryan language spoken in much of northern India and Pakistan, closely linked to Hindi. Persian, originating in Iran, is an Indo-European language that holds great historical significance as the language of major literary works and scientific advancements in the Islamic world. Arabic, the focus of the third part of this book, is a Semitic language with an even greater historical and religious significance as the language of the Quran. Influential in the development of many languages across the globe, Arabic is integral to understanding the history of language itself. The author provides in-depth comparisons of the three languages, identifying their similarities and differences in grammar, syntax, and phonology. This analysis is not only valuable for linguists but also for historians, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the diversity and richness of human communication. The book offers insights into the historical interconnections of languages and cultures, demonstrating how they have influenced one another throughout history, resulting in the rich linguistic tapestry we have today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
