About The Book: This book delves into "A Pali Grammar on the Basis of Kachchayano" and provides comprehensive explanations along with a Chrestomathy and Vocabulary. Pali, with its uncomplicated declensions and conjugations compared to Latin or Greek, poses challenges in root modifications, forming new grammatical bases, and introducing diverse particles for word derivation and sentence structure. Roots, typically comprising one or two consonants, undergo changes, sometimes surpassing those in Sanskrit. The word "nigban," derived from "ni" and "va" meaning "to go out," exemplifies the transformations. Despite losing the original root, the Pali language, featuring the oldest Indian alphabet, has been printed by Karens, highlighting their evolving writing system. The Pali Grammar, printed by Karen learners, has garnered acclaim for its quality and meticulousness.
