Dictionary Of Mixed Telugu: Also An Explanation Of The Telugu Alphabet.

About the Book:-Through this discourse the author has made a good attempt to unravel the truth behind the mixed dialects and foreign words used in Telugu. Earlier, the government business in Southern India is chiefly transacted in the language of the Hindus, either Tamil, Telugu, Kannadi, Malayalam or Marata ; while the Musulmans still speak Hindustani (as well as the local native tongue) but Hindustani is seldom written. The long continued dominion of the Musulmans introduced many foreign words into the various Hindu languages. Thus the modern Telugu contains a variety of Persian and Arabic expressions. In later years, some English words have crept into use. The present vocabulary of the mixed dialects therefore forms a requisite supplement to a dictionary of the Telugu language: and it contains only those phrases which are current among the natives. Indeed the business dialect also may be considered another language, often deviating both in words and Syntax from correct Telugu. About the Author:-Charles Philip Brown was a British official of the East India Company. He worked in what is now Andhra Pradesh, and became an important scholarly figure in Telugu language literature. While Brown concentrated on Telugu, he was a polyglot. Other languages Brown is said to have known were Greek, Latin, Persian and Sanskrit. He supported Telugu in three ways - he produced his own works, he recovered and discovered old works and he printed books in Telugu. He financed himself and sometimes borrowed to do so. He established two free schools in Cuddapah and two more in Machilipattanam.
