Modern Kashmiri Grammar aims at providing basic yet extensive information on various aspects of Kashmiri phonology, morphology, and syntax along with its unique features and historical background. It is pedagogically oriented. The need for such a grammar is imminent at present. First and foremost it will fulfill the need of a large number of Kashmiris that have taken refuge in different parts of India and abroad as a result of continued disturbance in the Kashmir valley in the last fifteen years. They are fast losing contact with their mother tongue in the absence of its use in various domains of day-to-day life. They are looking for suitable language learning materials, including pedagogically oriented grammars, for maintaining the language amongst their children.
