Guest Javanmard Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Gurfateh I have put this list for all those who wish to learn the two main languages of gurbani: Sadhu Bhasha and Braj Bhasha For learning the language of most of Adi Guru Granth Sahib (Sadhu Bhasha): The best books in English praised unanimously by all Sikh scholars in both India and West: a. dictionary: Shackle, Cristopher.1981.A Guru Nanak Glossary,London: School of Oriental and African Studies. b. grammar with exercises: Shackle, Cristopher.1983. An introduction to the sacred language of the Sikhs, London: School of Oriental and African Studies. For learning Braj (for Dasam Guru Granth Sahib, Sarabloh Prakash Granth and the rest of puratan Sikh literature): a. grammar and anthology: Snell, Rupert.1991.The Hindi classical tradition : a Braj Bhasha Reader, London: School of Oriental and African Studies. b. dictionary: McGregor, R.S.. 1993.The Oxford Hindi-English Dictionary, Oxford : Oxford University Press. Thsi dictionary contains most Braj words used in medieval literature. I hope this will help. Needless to say that a good background in Sanskrit is very helpful if not necessary sometimes when it comes to certain texts of Dasam bani. I will create another list for Sanskrit later. these books should still be available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
