Varma Siddheshwar. Pahari language: a linguistic analysis

Hoshiarpur, 1979. — 149 p.Pahaṛī : A linguistic analysis, issued as No. 19 of the Panjab University Indological Series describes analytically the different dialect groups spoken in the sub-Himalayan region from Nepal in the east to Bhadarwah in the west. A detailed survey of these dialects had been made by Sir G. A. Grierson in Vol. IX, Pt. iv of his monumental 11-volume Linguistic Survey of India (1903-2); which was effectively summarised, subsequently, by Dr. Siddheshwar Varma and issued in three volumes by the Vishveshvaranand Institute (1972-76). While the said Summary was in press, it was decided to issue some of the more important sections, also, separately, for the benefit of scholars interested in individual language families. The present publication stems out of this decision.
