Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed grammar of the Kuvi language, which is spoken in India by the Kond tribe. The author began studying the language due to the inaccessibility of a written form of Kuvi. As he learned, he recognized a great richness in both the language and the traditions of the Kond, a group who have maintained their cultural identity, despite influence from larger Indian populations. The author found that the Kuvi language had much in common with other Dravidian languages and offers some fascinating insights into the historical development of languages in the region. For students of linguistics and anyone interested in the tribal languages of India, this book offers an in-depth study of an important linguistic and cultural subject.
