Srivastava Dayanand. Nepali Language: Its History and Development

Calcutta University, 1962. — 170 p.The present work is intended to present the history and development of Nepàli language on historical principles. The linguistic analysis presented in this book is purely based on my observations in persuing the documents of Nepali language. In this work the untrodden field of Nepali Philology has been explored for the first time. This is the first work on the subject, and f hope it might offer some base for the further investigations on special points of Nepali Philology. I have confined my analysis to the standard Nepali only and have not tried to make the work comparative by bringing in the analogous forms and process in other related New-Indo-Aryan Janguages. This would have extended the work in time of preparation far beyond the time assigned to it. Thus, in this work, I have given in brief a sketch of phonemic and grammatical structure of Nepali language. It is in no way the final word on the subject.
