Sindhi Studies: 1947-1967. A Review of Sindhi Language and Society. Heritage Studies Series.
Khubchandani, Lachman M., Comp.
This monograph was originally a chapter from a 14-volume series, "Current Trends in Linguistics," that presented reviews of research pertaining to language and society worldwide. This publication provides access to researchers of the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent, focusing on the Sindhi language. Chapter 1, "Sindhi Studies: 1947-67" (Lachman M. Khubchandani), presents information on the writing system, phonology, grammar, dialect studies, language in contact, lexicography, comparative and historical studies, teaching material, folklore, and general linguistics in Sindhi. Chapter 2, "Studies in Pakistan" (Anware Dil), introduces linguistic studies and research in Pakistan, focusing on current trends in Pakistani linguistics. Four appendixes present the following: a bibliographic update of Khubchandani's contributions to the subject since 1967; discussion of the composite ethos of the Subcontinent (language transplantation processes, plural communications, and targets of language development); and two critiques of Khubchandani's works, published in Pakistan (one of which is in Sindhi).
