For instance: 1) Maharashtri and Ardhamagadhi-Weber, (2) Ardhamagadhi Adverd Mullar, (3) Maharashtri-H. Jacobi, (4) Short Introduction to the ordinary Prakrit of the Sanskrit Dramas with a list of Common irregular Prakrit words-Cowell, London, 1875,5) Elemen. tarbuch der Saurasepi-Schmidt, Hannover, 1924.6) Materialen Zur Kenntris des Apabhramsa --Pischel, Gottingen, 1902,7) Ein Nachtrag Zur Grammatik der Prakrit sprachen-Pischel, Berlin 1902.
Our Indian scholars have also prepared some Prakrit grammars based on the original texts. Their important works may be mentioned here : 1. Rishikesh Shastri, Calcutta, : Prakrit Vyakarana in Sanskrit 1883
