Grammar of the Pḁṣ̌tō or language of the Afghāns: compared with the Īrānian and North-Indian idioms

Ernest Trumpp’s Grammar of the Pushto or Language of the Afghans, Compared with the Iranian and North-Indian Idioms is a comprehensive linguistic study of the Pashto language. Published in the 19th century, it analyzes Pashto grammar, syntax, and vocabulary, comparing it with related Iranian languages (like Persian) and North Indian languages. Trumpp aimed to provide a systematic description for scholars, missionaries, and administrators in British India. The work includes phonetics, morphology, and sentence structure, highlighting linguistic similarities and differences. Though limited by the period’s understanding of regional dialects, it remains an important early reference for Pashto language studies.
