Abstract:

Hindko, Panjabi, and Saraiki are three closely related, geographically
contiguous languages of Pakistan. Together, they are the native language of
some 125 million people. Panjabi alone ranks among the 15 most widely spoken
languages in the world. The Grammar of Hindko, Panjabi, and Saraiki provides a
comparative description of these three language varieties, focusing, where
possible, on the variety of Hindko spoken in Abbottabad, the Panjabi spoken in
Lahore, and the Saraiki spoken in Multan. Based on both fieldwork and corpus
research, the grammar provides coverage of the phonology, orthography,
morphology, and syntax of the language, with extensive exemplification
presented in the native Perso-Arabic script along with standard Roman
representations and morphological analysis. Written in an accessible style
from a basic linguistic theory perspective, this work will be of use to
linguistic researchers, language scholars, and students of the languages of
Pakistan and South Asia.
