Notes

"The term Gauḍian (Gauṛian) is adopted by the author to designate collectively all North-Indian vernaculars of Sanscrit affinities, viz. Sindhí, Gujarátí, Panjábí, Hindí, Bangálí, Oríya, Maráthí. The Hindí is divided by him into Western and Eastern Hindí, the former chiefly represented by the Braj dialect, the latter by the Bhojpúrí dialect, the grammar of which forms more prominently his subject. cf. Introduction and the author's Essays in aid of a comparative grammar of the Gauṛian languages" (Journal of the Asiat. Soc. of Bengal, vols. 411, 421, 431).
