A  Comparative  Grammar of the Dravidian or South-Indian Family of Languages

RT. Rev. Robert Caldwell, D.D., LL.D.

The idioms which are included under the general term ‘Dravidian’, constitute the vernacular speech of the great majority of the inhabitants of Southern India. It is the object of the following work to examine and compare the grammatical principles and forms of the various Dravidian languages. In pursuing this object, it will be the writer’s endeavour to point out everything which appears likely to throw any light on the question of the relation which the family of languages bears to the principal families or groups into which the languages of Europe and Asia have been divided (from the Introduction of the 3rd edition, 1913, London)
