Bailey G. Grammar of the Shina language

London: 1924. — 285 p.In the following pages an attempt has been made to give a connected account of one of the most fascinating of languages. The Shina (Sinā́) country, though of considerable political importance, is not much visited by Europeans Every summer a few go for a holiday into the lovely Gŭrēs valley, but not many venture further. There is an agency m Gĭlgĭt, the capital, where several Europeans live, and an Assistant Resident is stationed alone in Cĭlās watching over the lawless country of Yāgīstān, which he must keep in order, but may not enter The summer quarters of the Gĭlgĭt agency are in Ăstōr.
