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 1810, this dictionary of Marathi (then known as Mahratta) was
compiled by the Baptist missionary William Carey (1761–1834). Written during
his time in India, it aimed to help European visitors communicate for business
and social purposes with native speakers of the language. Methodical in its
approach, it gives concise meanings and labels the various parts of speech.
Containing over 9,500 entries in Devanagari script with English translations,
it remains of interest to historical linguists and language typologists.
Carey's 1805 grammar of Marathi is also reissued in this series.
