Simplified Grammar of Arabic, Persian, and Hindustani (Paperback)

This concise but practical introduction to Arabic, Persian, and Hindustani furnishes anyone interested in comparative languages with a clear and comprehensive view of their structure; and after only a few hours of diligent study, students should be able to analyze sentences in any of these languages. The text carefully examines the structures of these three languages and meticulously explains the underlying principles. All technical terms are excluded and the old classifications into declensions, conjugations, etc., are omitted. For each language the alphabet, numerals, verb parts and tenses are given, along with the English equivalent and pronunciation; the formation of compound words and more are clearly explained. Unabridged republication of Simplified Grammar of Hindustani, Persian, and Arabic, originally published by Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner & Co., London, 1890.
