1931

In the beginning of 1922 I had in my Presidential Address in the Philology Section" of the Second All-India Oriental Conference at Calcutta expressed the hope that before the next sitting of the Conference. [...] It was by some miraculous chance that the inauguration of the Linguistic Society of India coincided with the bestowal of the Order of Merit on the one man of all who had done the highest service to Indian Linguistics—the greatest living authority on the languages of India. [...] But Europe has begun to see the error of this way from about the beginning of the present century and scholars there are trying more and more to adapt the.grammar to the language they are analysing rather than twist the language to suit the grammar of an ancient type. [...] are the dissociation of the two e'ements forming the aspirate of the h from the stop the h coming after the vowel of the syllable; the substitntion of the dissociated h by the glottal stop; and the substitution of the aspiration by pitch or stress accent. [...] The modification can be older still—in fact as old as the period of the spread of the Prakrit and Apabhrainga dialects of Magadha into East and North Bengal (in the early centuries of the Christian era) among people of Austric speeches (allied to30 Kol Mon-Khmer and Khasi) and of Dravidian dialects.
