Paperback. Etat : New. Language: English. About the Book: - The language spoken in and round Kalat, the capital of the Khanate and the meeting-place of Sarawan and Jalawan, is regarded by most Brahuis as preserving the purest form of their speech, and it is this language which is analysed in this discourse. While passing reference is made to the more important divergences between the Sarawan and Jhalawan branches of the language, the author has not allowed himself to be tempted aside into the interesting bypaths of dialectical variants. During his four years staying in Baluchistan, the writer has got ample opportunities to pursue and the study of Brahui independently, the work of his predecessors. Their working on material necessarily very imperfect and often incorrect, accorded Brahui but a cursory examination in his masterly treatise, his lucid analysis of the grammatical system of the Dravidian languages yields an insight into the structure of Brahui which would otherwise be hardly possible. The book is the product of extensive study of this language. There is no statement in the book to which exception may justly be taken. So, the book is really good for the readers and researchers. About the Author: - Sir Denys de Saumarez Bray, KCSI, KCIE, CBE was an etymologist and British colonial civil servant in the Empire of India, who served as Secretary of the Foreign Department of the Government of India. His publications evidence his deep understanding of the Brahui language, and his later work on Shakespeare re-arranged the much disputed argument on the basis of the discovery of a hitherto unexpected rhyme-link or word-link, joining sonnet to sonnet to form an orderly and smoothly flowing whole. Bray passed the Indian Civil Service examination of 1898, and served in the Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Baluchistan. After serving as Deputy Secretary of the Foreign Department at New Delhi for four years. Bray was appointed Secretary in 1920, and filled the position with distinction for nearly a decade. He had a large share in shaping the treaty with Afghanistan negotiated at Kabul by Sir Henry Dobbs in 1921 (which amended the Treaty of Rawalpindi, agreed originally in August 1919, and reaffirmed Britain's recognition of Afghanistan's complete independence, and restored to the Afghans the privilege of importing munitions through India).
