A Vocabulary of the Sántáli Language [Hardcover]  (Hardcover, E. L. Puxley)

About The Book: This book presents a comprehensive guide to the Sántáli language, focusing on vocabulary and linguistic nuances. The author adopts a writing system used by Forbes and others for Roman Hindustani, explaining unique marks for representing distinct Sántáli sounds. The long, guttural sound "a" is detailed, and specific diacritical marks elucidate dropped consonants and peculiar catches in pronunciation. The vocabulary section includes marks denoting words from other Indian languages or those with uncertain correctness. The explanation extends to verb forms, emphasizing agreement and variations based on gender, person, and transitivity. About The Author: Rev. E. L. Puxley played a crucial role in the Santal mission, spearheading education in Santal Parganas post the 1855 rebellion. Following government recognition and grants, Puxley established a Santali-medium Teachers' Training School in 1863, promoting vocational training alongside primary education. Despite setbacks like the 1857 sepoy revolt, Santal education thrived under Puxley, with 36 schools and 348 students by 1868. He founded a boarding school in Hiranpur in 1860, later moving it to Taljhari in 1864. Financial constraints prevented its elevation to a High School, but in 1929, it was named St. John's School.
