A Grammar of Dari Rebecca Mitchell & Djamal Naser University of Cambridge; Dari interpreter This book arose from a need for an accessible, up-to-date and comprehensive descriptive grammar of Dari, an Indo-Iranian language, one of the statutory national languages of Afghanistan and considered today to be the country’s lingua franca. It differs from previous publications in presenting an independent account of Dari as a language in its own right, complete with data on the sociolinguistic attitudes of speakers themselves, sample texts in a variety of genres, standard IPA notation, morphological glosses, and both Roman and Perso-Arabic script throughout. The book is divided into six sections: the sociolinguistic context, phonology, morphology, syntax, the lexis, and texts. The variety of Dari under discussion is a neutral register of the colloquial language of Kabul, now regarded as the standard. ISBN 9783862888504. Languages of the World/Materials 510. 144pp. 2017.
