The Indo-Aryan languages are spoken by at least 700 million
people throughout India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and
the Maldive Islands. They have a claim to great antiquity, with the
earliest Vedic Sanskrit texts dating to the end of the second
millennium B.C. With texts in Old Indo-Aryan, Middle Indo-Aryan and
Modern Indo-Aryan, this language family supplies a historical
documentation of language change over a longer period than any
other subgroup of Indo-European.
This volume is divided into two main sections dealing with
general matters and individual languages. Each chapter on the
individual language covers the phonology and grammar (morphology
and syntax) of the language and its writing system, and gives the
historical background and information concerning the geography of
the language and the number of its speakers.
