Hardcover. Condizione: New. Dardistan is one of the most diverse linguistic regions in the world. In the 1930s, the Norwegian linguist Georg Morgenstierne called it one of the most polyglot parts of Asia. More recently, the Italian anthropologist Augusto Cacopardo has called it 'Peristan', an area with an 'enormous diversity of tongues and cultures'. The region has the large Dardic languages such as Kashmiri, Shina and Khowar on the one hand and, on the other, it is home to the Burushaski language, which could not be placed within any language family because of its unique features. The Nuristani, formerly Kafiri, languages are spoken here, too. There are minor languages such as Kalasha, spoken by the Kalash community of hardly 4,000 people who still follow the ancient animistic religion that was once practised across Dardistan. The name 'Dardistan' describes the area comprising the highest mountain ranges of Hindu Kush, Karakoram, western Himalaya and the Pamir mountains, and includes northern Pakistan, parts of Eastern Tibet in China, eastern Afghanistan and the Kashmir valley on both sides of the Pakistan-India border.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Language: English. About the Book:-A pioneering study of this little known pocket sitting in the high Hindu Kush (North of the valley of Kashmir). This book contains the life work of the author among the Dards, and gives an account of their history, religion, customs, legends, fables and songs. The area of Dardistan includes the areas of Gilgit, Chilas, Kandia (Gabrial), Yasin, Chittral, Hunza, Nagyr and other parts of the Hindu Kush. This book was a supplement to the second edition of the Hunza and Nagyr Handbook. This book has a map of the region and 17 other illustrations. It is a reprint of the 1890 edition. About the Author:-Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner was a British orientalist. As a linguist, he is said to have had acquaintance with some fifty languages, many of which he spoke fluently. At nineteen, he became lecturer in Arabic, Turkish and Modern Greek, and at twenty-three was appointed Professor in Arabic and Muslim Law at King's College London. Three years later, sometime in 1864, he became Principal of Government College University (Lahore) (then British India, present day Pakistan). He was instrumental in the foundation of the University of the Punjab in 1882. He founded many schools, literary associations, public libraries and academic journals, while at the same time dedicating himself to the study of the cultures of the Indian subcontinent. During this period he wrote a scholarly and comprehensive book in Urdu, History of Islam, in two volumes, with the help of an Urdu Muslim scholar, Maulvi Karim-ud-Din, who was at that time District Inspector of Schools in Amritsar, Punjab. These two volumes were later published in 1871 and 1876. Following the passage of the Royal Titles Act 1876 which declared Queen Victoria Empress of India, Prof. Leitner coined the title Kaysar-i-Hind as the new Empress' official title.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. The Book Dardistan refers to a region where Dardic languages are spoken. The terms "Dardic" and "Dardistan" are not indigenous to the region, and were coined by Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner. The legitimacy of the term has been called into question. The region also includes a number of non-Dardic peoples and languages. The initial efforts by the British grouped almost all the people and languages of the upper Indus River, between Kashmir and Kabul, into a single category. This led to the creation of distinct identities for all other groups in the region, giving rise to terms such as Dard, Dardistan, and Dardic.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. "Dardistan, situated between the frontiers of Kashmir and Afghanistan, is mentioned in Greek and Roman texts. Many Greek and Roman writers such as Arrian, Strabo, Alexandrius, and Pliny the Elder have described the region in their respective accounts. The ancient Gandhara was located in this region. However, this region came into much prominence under the British. This work by Leitner is an ethnographical study of the region in the late nineteenth century. The first half of the account covers various legends, customs, and songs composed in the region, which were mostly composed in Shina, a dialect spoken in Kashmir Valley. Folklores containing demons, customs, old fables, manners, etc., are covered. The author touches upon different aspects of human life, birth ceremonies, marriage, funeral, holidays, and also different governments formed in this region. Special emphasis is given to areas like Gilgit, Yasin, Chitral, Nagyr, Hunza, etc. Chronology of the history of Dards, wars against Kashmir, etc., is mentioned. Another important aspect covered is the religions, geog¬raphy, castes, and races of the Dardistan. The latter half has appen¬dices containing various events in Chilas and Chitrals, languages, anthropological observations, sciences, and secret religions practiced in the region. About the Author G.W. Leitner (1840-1899) was a Hungarian born British Orientalist and a linguist. He studied Turkish, Arabic, and other languages, and was appointed as the interpreter to the British commissariat in Crimea. He was also appointed as a professor in Arabic and Islamic law at King s College, London. He became the principal of Government College University, Lahore in 1864, and was the pioneer to establish the Uni¬versity of the Punjab, Lahore in 1882 and became a registrar.…
