<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk163649805"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">This book is the first full-length English-language grammar of Khowar, one of the Far Northwest Indo-Aryan languages. It reflects more than 30 years
of field research by the author, and attempts to capture a snapshot of the language at the end of the twentieth century, a time when this and other small mountain languages in northern Pakistan were undergoing rapid change, the pace of which continues to accelerate.<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk163649805"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">An introductory chapter presents the language in its genetic, geographical and typological contexts, and its multi-layered lexicon. There follow chapters
on phonology, word formation and derivational morphology, nominal morphology, deictic elements, the verbal system, adjectival modification, adverbial modification, morphosyntax and morphosemantics. This final chapter is a distillation of features of the language
that are central to understanding how it conceives of and portrays the world.<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk163649805"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In addition to grammatical analysis and discussion, <i>A Grammar of Khowar</i> features numerous original example sentences, mostly contributed by senior,
highly competent speakers of the language. A significant number of examples are drawn from oral texts recorded by the author in several villages. They are presented in roman representation and are accompanied by a complete morphological analysis and English
translation.<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk163649805"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Additionally, an Appendix contains a 30-page sample text, presented first in Khowar’s Perso-Arabic script then by roman-based morphological analysis
and an English translation by the author.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
