In his ambitious survey of the Indo-Aryan languages, Colin Masica has provided a fundamental introduction which will interest not only general and theoretical linguists but also students of one or more of these languages who want to acquaint themselves with the broader linguistic context. Generally synchronic in approach, concentrating on the phonology, morphology and syntax of the modern representatives of the group, the volume also covers their historical development, areal context, writing systems and aspects of sociolinguistics. The survey is organised not on a language-by-language basis but by topic, so that salient theoretical issues may be discussed in a comparative context.… (meer)

This is a highly specialized work that takes a look at the languages of Northern India and their development from ancient times to the present day. This is a must have for linguists and lay enthusiasts wanting to learn the technical side of the linguistic structure of the Indo-Aryan languages

Phew! compendious. Especially in a situation like India's, where what constitutes a 'language' as opposed to a dialect or dialect continuum or even a standard or style (Urdu-Hindi, e.g., have been described simply as 'styles' of Hindustani, with a lot more difference within than between them, and a lot more difference in their literary forms, which refer to Sanskrit and Farsi (Pahlavi--can I call that 'Farsi', or do I have to say 'Persian'?) as their models respectively is so open to sociolinguistic and political wrangling, it would have been nice to see more of a focus on historica and social contexts. But there is some of that here, and if it's just pure synchronic and diachronic typology and variation info you want, I hope to god that you don't need more than you'll find here, sir. (For WHAT?!)
