Abstract:
Marathi, an official language of Maharashtra and Goa, is among the twenty most
widely spoken languages in the world. The southernmost Indo-Aryan language, it
is also spoken in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Daman and Diu, and
is believed to be over 1,300 years old, with its origins in Sanskrit. First
published in 1805, this grammar of Marathi (then known as Mahratta) was
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 their learning of the language, and it is comprehensive in ITS
coverage, providing numerous examples. Containing detailed descriptions of
Marathi's Devanagari alphabet, its word and sentence formation, and its
complex tense, voice, gender, agreement, inflection, and case systems, the
work remains an invaluable resource for linguists today. Carey's 1810
dictionary of Marathi is also reissued in this series.
