Abstract:

Khortha is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language spoken in Jharkhand, India.
Netra P. Paudyal provides an in-depth analysis of Khortha grammar
based on the data recorded during his field trips, elicited data, and
sentences culled from printed literature. Alongside, it includes a
fully glossed text, a comparative wordlist of lexical items from three
different varieties of this language and verb paradigms, making it of
great interest and value to linguists and typologists. Additionally,
it highlights Khortha’s influence from Munda and other Indo-Aryan
languages, with notable lexical borrowings, particularly from Santali.
This comprehensive study makes a significant contribution to
understanding the linguistic landscape of South Asia.
Readership: This book is ideal for academic institutes, libraries,
specialists, post-graduate students, and practitioners in the field of
linguistics, particularly those interested in South Asian languages
and linguistic typology in general.
