Abstract:

Please Note: There are four ISBNs for this two-volume set: one for Volume 1,
two for the pieces of Volume 2, and one for the combined set.

The language of Bangladesh, West Bengal and parts of Tripura and Assam,
Bengali is the sixth most spoken language in the world. A member of the
Indo-Aryan family, with its origins in Sanskrit, it has over 230 million
speakers. Published in 1825, this is a revised three-part dictionary of
Bengali, compiled by the Baptist missionary William Carey (1761–1834) during
his time in India. Its purpose was to assist Carey's European students at Fort
William College in Calcutta, and he endeavoured to include every simple word
used in the language, along with all the compound terms found in Bengali
literature. Containing over 100,000 entries in Bengali script with English
translations, and providing etymologies for most words, it remains of great
interest to linguists today. Carey's reference works on Marathi and Sanskrit
are also reissued in this series.
