Abstract:
			
Marwari, a standard dialect of Rajasthani language of Indo-Aryan
family, is spoken by about thirteen million speakers in western
Rajasthan comprising Churu, Bikaner, Nagaur, Ajmer, Jodhpur, Pali,
Jalore, Jaisalmer, and Barmer districts of Rajasthan. It is also
spoken in eastern parts of upper Sindh province of Pakistan. Having
several dialects, Marwari is very rich in literary style known as
Dingal and has a literary history of over one thousand years.

This grammar includes chapters on its phonology, morphology, syntax,
and a sample text. Introductory section includes geographical and
sociolinguistic sketch of Marwari and its speakers. The chapter on
phonology includes vowels, consonants, diphthongs, and
suprasegmentals. Glottalized sounds, murmur vowels, tones, and
retroflexives are very prominent. The chapter on morphology describes
nominal and verbal morphology. There are two numbers, two genders, and
three cases. The nouns are declined according to their final
segments. Case marking is partly inflectional and partly
inflectional. The third person pronouns are distinguished on the
proximity/remoteness dimension in each gender. Intransitive verbs can
be passivised. There are three tenses and four moods. Cardinals up to
ten are inflected. The chapter on syntax describes sentence types,
word order, coordination, subordination, negation and participles. The
chapter on sample texts presents free and interlinear translations of
some samples.  (also see the LINCOM webshop: lincom.at). Course
