Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book compiles languages from over eighty non-Aryan tribes and peoples of India and neighboring regions. It places these languages in context with their speakers' unique histories and cultures, giving readers insight into a previously undocumented world. The author, a civil servant in British India, painstakingly collected these languages from 1865 to 1868, presenting them with an eye towards making them accessible to European scholars and missionaries. The languages are arranged in parallel columns of English, French, German, Russian, and Latin, each with an index of synonymous terms. The author's research reveals that these languages, often relegated to folklore, are essential to understanding vast linguistic residue and provide a foundation for a new science of language.
