Through this post we are releasing the scan of the book published in the year 1864 titled Practical Grammer of the Sanskrit Language\u00a0<\/strong>written by Monier Williams in 1864. He was the sanskrit professor at East India College. This book is an enlarged and complete version of the earlier book written by the author in the year 1846 by name “An Elementary Grammer, arranged according to a new Theory.”<\/p>\n

This book consisting 446 pages describes about the letters, pronounciation, classification, accentuation, method of writing and the grammer in a broad way. Sanskrit is the classical and learned language of the Hindus in which their literature is written and which bears the same relation to their vernacular dialects that Greek and Latin bear to the spoken dialects of Europe. The script is called Devanagari. The author has written this book for enabling the Engllish and other non indian language speaking people.<\/p>\n

In its grammatical structure, Sanskrit is similar to other early Indo-European languages such as Greek and Latin. It is an inflected language. For instance, the Sanskrit nominal system\u2014including nouns, pronouns, and adjectives\u2014has three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), three numbers (singular, dual, and plural), and seven syntactic cases (nominative, accusative, instrumental, dative, ablative, genitive, and locative), in addition to a vocative.<\/p>\n
