They have a claim to great antiquity, with the earliest Vedic Sanskrit texts dating to the end of the second millennium B.C. With texts in Old Indo-Aryan, Middle Indo-Aryan and Modern Indo-Aryan, this language family supplies a historical documentation of language change over a longer period than any other subgroup of Indo-European. This volume is divided into two main sections dealing with general matters and individual languages.Routledge language family series.Indo-Aryan languagesSouth AsiaLanguagesIndo-Aryan languages.491.1Cardona George1936-203401Jain Dhanesh1518863MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785086103321The Indo-Aryan languages3756650UNINA
