Sita Forlorn, a Specimen of the Kashmiri Ramayana
DivÂkara PrakĀŚa BhaṬṬ is said to have been alive during the eight years of the reign of the Hindū king Sukhajīvana Siṁha, of Kashmīr, who came to the throne in A.D. 1786, and to have lived in the Gōjawar (Skt. Gulikāvāṭikā) quarter of the city of Srīnagar. He was the author of a Kāshmīrī version of the Rāmâyana, entitled the Rāmâvtāra-carita. This is a long epic poem of about 1800 verses in various metres, and is divided into two parts. The firs…
On the Tirahi Language
Tirāhī is a Dardic language of which, till now, hardly anything has been known. Our only materials have been the contents of a short vocabulary compiled by Leech in the year 1838. According to him, its speakers once inhabited the Tirāh country, now the home of the Afrīdi Pathāns, and, in consequence of a feud breaking out between the Ōrakzāīs and the Afrīdīs, they left that tract and settled in the Ningrahār country in independent Af gh ānistān, …
Kadu and its Relatives
In Vol. 1, Part III, of the Bulletin (pp. 1 ff.) Mr. Grant Brown has given a valuable account of the Kadus of Burma, and, after comparing their speech with several other cognate Tibeto-Burman languages, has been unable to fix its exact classification. Perhaps the following notes may help to decide the question
On the Representation of Tones in Oriental Languages
In offering the following notes I would especially ask for consideration on the part of students of Sinitic languages. I in no way pretend to be familiar with these forms of speech, and I must explain that, while I shall be grateful for criticisms on their part, my remarks are not directly addressed to them, but rather to those students of philology who have not made a special study of Chinese, but who, for purposes of comparison, are compelled t…
Indo-Abyan Vernaculars
47. We have completed our geographical survey of the Indo-Aryan Vernacular and their dialects. It has been seen that they have been divided into three families, a Midland, an Intermediate, and an Outer. We shall now consider the mutual relationship of these families, and it will be more convenient to consider their growth downwards from the source than to folloAv their course upstream. The treatment must necessarily be historical, but the portion…
Indo-Aryan Vernaculars
The following pages form a portion of what has been written by me for the section of the Grundriss der Indo-arischen Philologie und Altertumskunde, dealing with the Indo-Aryan Vernaculars. The work was not completed when the War broke out, and as there is no immediate prospect of their publication as originally intended, I gladly accept Sir Denison Ross's suggestion, and offer them as they stand for preliminary publication in the Bulletin of the …
XVII. On the Śāradā Alphabet
The earliest account of the Śāradā alphabet with which I am acquainted is that contained in Leech's “Grammar of the Cashmeeree Language” in the JASB., vol. xiii, pp. 399 ff., 1844. Leech gives the forms only of the vowels and of the simple consonants, and does not deal with the combinations of consonants with vowels or with conjunct consonants. As the subject is one of some interest, I here give complete tables, showing not only the simple vowels…
