Triveṇī. Texts of Three Literary Traditions in Early Modern Languages of North India. A Reader

The authors of this Triveṇī paid significant attention to presenting a textbook with grammatical explanations that should make the texts accessible to advanced students of Modern Standard Hindī. The book contains chapters on Avadhī by Hiroko Nagasaki (Osaka University), on Kabīr’s pads written by Jaroslav Strnad (Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague), and on Rājasthānī (Mārvāṛī) prepared by Aleksandra Turek (University of Warsaw). Grammars have been given in concise, skeleton format; however, an attempt was made to provide as many examples as possible, selected not only from the specimens presented in this book, but from their source texts in their entirety. The three individual grammatical sections are prefaced by General Notes on Grammar which summarizes grammatical features common to all three languages under study.
