HIGHER PERSIAN GRAMMAR FOR THE USE OF THE CALCUTTA UNIVERSITY SHOWING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AFGHAN AND MODERN PERSIAN WITH NOTES ON RHETORIC BY LIEUT.-COLONEL D. C. PHTTJ^TOL^-M.A PH.D., F.A.S.B., Late Secretary, BoardofExaminers, Calcutta, Translatorofthe, * Baz-Nama-yiNasiri,* etc., and Editorof the Persian Translationof l HajlBabaofIsfahan* andofthe CALCUTTA : FEINTED AT THE BAPTIST MISSION PRESS, CALCUTTA, AND PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY. 1919. PREFACE. THIS work is intended mainly asa book of reference, and for this purpose is printed with a copious index, It has been written chiefly for those students who have learnt, or are now studying, Persian in India. It should be borne in mind ^hat considerable differences exist between the Persian of Afghanistan and of Persia, not only in pronunciation and diction J but also in construction. Many of these differences are illus- trated in this work. It is hoped that the notes on composition and rhetoric will prove especially interesting to Indian students, many of whom have to study Persian through the medium of English, and it is for their benefit that these subjects have been treated from an English point of view. These notes, however, are not intended to supplant the study of Arabic or Persian rhetoric, but merely to supplement it. The author, not being a poet, has made no a/t^npt to deal with Prosody. >*. In writing this grammar, the works of Plaits4,* Ranking, Rosen, Chodzko, Haggard and Le Strange, Tisdale, Socin, Thacher, Wright, and others, including several works in Urdu and Persian, have been freely made use of. My acknowledgments are specially due to Agha Muhammad Kazim Persian Instructor to the Board of Examin- Shirazi, ers, who has assisted throughout in seeing the work through the Press, and also to his brother-in-law, the late 8hatns"'l-'Ulama* Shaykh Mahmud Jilan!, and other Persian friends, for constant advice. The addition of a large amount of Arabic (viz. portions of the Qur*an, the Alif Laylali and other Arabic works) to the Persian Course has necessitated a far larger amount of Arabic grammar than was anticipated, a task for which I felt myself by no means competent. This portion of the work has grown much beyond the limits originally set for it. In compiling it, my thanks are chiefly due to Shams"7- 'Ulama* Muhammad Yusuf Ja'farl, Khan Bahadur, Head Maulavi of the Board of Examiners, to Shams'17-'Ulwn&* Shaykh Mahmud JilanI, and to Maulavi Hidayat Husayn of Presidency College, and others, who 1 in modernPersian, for instance, tamlz^\ means clean,"dimagh U> "nose," )& "stomach," imtiyaz ^ULcf "order,medal," IV PREFACE. helped me throughout its compilation and also to Professor L. White- ; King, C.S.I., of Dublin,who assisted in revising the proofs and at whose suggestion numerous additions were made. Owing to the War and the consequent loss of manuscript} and proofs at sea and to other unfortunate causes, this work has been un- duly long in issuing from the Press. D. C. PHILLOTT, Lieut.-Colonel CAIRO : March 1918.
