A Sketch of the Northern Balochi Language Containing a Grammar, Vocabulary: And Specimens of the Language

A Sketch of the Northern Balochi Language by M. Longworth Dames is a foundational work on the linguistic structure of Northern Balochi, published in 1881. It provides a detailed grammar and vocabulary, serving as an essential reference for understanding this significant dialect of the Balochi language. Drawing from Dames' extensive fieldwork in the trans-Indus region, the book highlights the phonetics, syntax, and lexicon of Northern Balochi. It remains a valuable resource for linguists and historians interested in the Baluch people’s language and culture. The work reflects Dames' expertise gained during his service in Dera Ghazi Khan and beyond.
