A Concise Grammar of the Hindústání Language

A Concise Grammar of the Hindústání Language by Edward Backhouse Eastwick is a foundational text offering a systematic approach to learning Hindustani, the precursor to modern Hindi and Urdu. Published in the 19th century, it covers phonetics, vocabulary, grammar rules, and sentence structure, making it a valuable resource for students and linguists of colonial India.
