Ebook: Tajiki Reference Grammar for Beginners

Tajiki Reference Grammar for Students grew out of the books Tajiki: An Elementary Textbook, vols. 1 and 2. The original manuscript also included a rather large appendix with grammar information useful to students but not necessary if your goal is to learn to communicate in Tajiki quickly. After reviewing the costs, the heft of the books, and the awkwardness of having a third volume as the appendix, we determined that this material could stand alone. The book features explanations about various features of Tajiki grammar and pronunciation alongside examples of the concepts. It is a straightforward reference grammar. Unlike the other two Tajiki volumes, the book has a black and white interior and will be a smaller trim size (6 x 9). The Tajiki Reference Grammar for Students is designed for beginning level language students and is keyed to the textbook volumes so it is a natural resource to those who are using the textbooks. It also may be useful to scholars and students of Central Asian languages and linguistics who wish to learn more about Tajiki. Tajiki seems to be grouped with Persian, often, and it may be of interest to folks who teach or study Persian.
