Foreword
The development of Indo-Aryan language from the earliest times down to the present day is a vast and a highly interesting area for linguistic studies. The research literature pertaining to it, data-based or adopting various and changing theoretical approaches, is enormous. Prof. (Dr.) H. C. Bhayani's present work is bound to attract attention of students of the history of Indo-Aryan languages, because among other things, it makes departure from earlier positions and discussions in the areas of Indo-Aryan phonology, morphology and lexicon. We are indeed happy to publish it in the L. D. Series.
