Descrizione

About The Book: Hindoostanee Philology: Comprising a Dictionary, English and Hindoostanee; With a Grammatical Introduction by John Borthwick Gilchrist is a foundational work in the study of Hindustani language. Published during his time in India, the book provides an extensive dictionary and an introductory grammar, making Hindustani accessible to English speakers. Gilchrist's scholarship highlights the fusion of Persian, Arabic, and local dialects that shaped Hindustani, reflecting its role as a lingua franca in northern India. Written in multiple scripts—Arabic, N?gar?, and Roman—the work facilitated cross-cultural communication and administrative efficiency, leaving a lasting legacy in linguistic and colonial studies.
