A Grammar Of The Bengali Language

A Grammar of the Bengali Language by Duncan Forbes (1798–1868) is a foundational work in the study of Bengali. Intended for English learners and administrators in India, it systematically explains Bengali grammar, pronunciation, and syntax. Forbes aimed to make the language accessible to foreigners and to promote linguistic understanding during British rule. The book reflects the scholarly approach of early Orientalists and remains valuable for its detailed analysis, historical insight, and contribution to the study and teaching of Indian languages.
