**Thomas Burrow’s The Sanskrit Language – A Classic Historical Grammar**
First published in London in 1955 (with a second edition in 1959), Thomas Burrow’s The Sanskrit Language remains a unique and valuable work in the field of Indo-European linguistics. Written by a renowned Dravidologist, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to Sanskrit grammar from a comparative and historical perspective, drawing on research from the first half of the 20th century.
The volume covers the relationship of Old Indo-Aryan with other Indo-European languages, a concise history of the language, and a compact yet detailed treatment of phonology, word formation, and morphology—including nouns, verbs, and other parts of speech. One of its more debated sections examines possible non-Aryan (Dravidian) influences on Sanskrit, a topic that has sparked scholarly discussion.
Burrow’s work is valued for its systematic approach and its synthesis of earlier linguistic scholarship. It is an essential reference for students and researchers interested in the historical development of Sanskrit and its place within the Indo-European family.
