Description

About The Book: The Languages of India, by George Abraham Grierson, is a comprehensive study of India's linguistic diversity. It reprints the chapter on languages from his monumental work Linguistic Survey of India. Grierson categorizes the languages into major groups, such as Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman, and Austroasiatic. He examines their histories, dialects, and geographical distribution, offering insights into their evolution and influence. The text also discusses the role of language in India's culture, administration, and social structure. Grierson's work remains foundational in understanding the linguistic complexity of India, highlighting both the diversity and the unifying aspects of its languages.
