Rar Bangla Lok Shabdatatwa by Dinendranath Bhattacharya [Hardcover]

"Rabindranath lamented that a comprehensive Bengali grammar had not been written. He argued that the comparative grammar of the various dialects spoken in different parts of Bengal is the true scientific grammar. Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar himself engaged in collecting words used in local languages. Rajshekhar Basu and Haricharan Bandopadhyay were also enthusiastic about it. The credit for constructing a folk dictionary goes to Kamini Kumar Roy. Muhammad Shahidullah created a dictionary of regional words of Bangladesh. To achieve completeness in the history of language, Dinen Bhattacharya undertook full-fledged research. His diligent offering 'Rarh Bangla: Lokshabda Tattva' is enriched with the origin of folk words of the entire Rarh Bengal and their grammatical analysis. For lovers of the Bengali language, this book is undoubtedly a valuable asset."
