Sommario/riassunto

Marathi is the official language of Maharashtra, including Mumbai. It is the only Indo-Aryan language whose structure has been influenced by the Dravidian languages. It marks the beginning of a grammatical tradition for Modern Indian languages. This book presents an account of Marathi phonology, morphology, word formation and syntax.
