About the Book :-While submitting his grammar of the Pukkhto Or Pukshto language to the notice of the public, the author reveals that it is necessary that he should offer a few words of explanations as to the object of the work, and the reasons that have induced him to publish this book. During ten years’ service, more or less continuously on the Trans-Indus Frontier of British India, it has often occurred to him as a notable fact, that comparatively very few of the Frontier officials possessed any knowledge of the language of the people they ruled, or at all events, amongst whom they dwelt. One principal aim, both in the grammar and dictionary, has been to show the regularity of its grammatical construction as regards the former, and the affinity in this respect of the Pukkhto to the Hindi, by which means is removed one of the greatest difficulties in the study of the language. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible.
