CHAPTER II
The standard authority on the modern languages of India is Sir G. A. Grierson's work on The Languages of India (Calcutta, 1903). It will, however, be superseded by the book which Sir G. A. Grierson is now writing on the basis of the further materials collected in his Linguistic Survey, and in the Census Reports of 1911. The eleven volumes hitherto published of the Survey itself give specimens of the Indian languages and skeleton grammars.
