Primarily written in three distinct scripts, a unique feature of the language is that, along with Lahanda and the Western Pahari dialects, it is the only modern Indo-European language spoken in South-East Asia which is tonal in nature. It is recognised as one of the several national languages of India and Pakistan, and approximately forty-five million people speak Punjabi as either a first or second language. This Descriptive Grammar accounts for the linguistic and sociolinguistic properties of Punjabi and Lahanda\/Multani. It explores the standard language, giving a comprehensive account of syntax, morphology and phonology. With a descriptive, typological and cognitive examination of the language, this is a comprehensive and authoritative description of modern Punjabi. This volume will be invaluable to students and researchers of linguistic theory and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51935862227232,"sku":"NEW0415589932","price":107.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/punjabi-descriptive-grammars-0415589932","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
