Persian language, one of the major Indoeuropean group of languages, presently known as "Farsi," though corrupted by of by intentional and nonintentional foreign and native scribes, poets and writers for hundreds of years, still survives with treasures of the original Persian language grammar and words. The author has relearned his mother tongue ie the "Persian language" through more than three decades of constant work on the Avestan, Sanskrit, Pahlavi languages, and through field work, surveying major dialects and semilanguages has now compiled this work "The etymology dictionary of the Persian language," the first in this field for a language with more than three millenia of history. The author is most grateful to the German scholars who had paved the road (see the references), making this research work possible. JGS

This 1901 volume of A Concise Etymological Dictionary of the English Language completely updates the classic reference work first published in 1882. Skeat provides a staggering number of words, including those most frequently used in everyday speech and those most prominent in literature. They appear along with their definitions, their language of origin, their roots, and their derivatives. Those who are fascinated with the English language will find much to explore here and many overlooked but interesting tidbits and treasures of an ever-evolving language. Walter W. Skeat was a scholar of Old English, mathematics, English place names, and Anglo-Saxon. He founded the English Dialect Society in 1873 and was a professor at Cambridge University. Skeat edited many classic works, including Lancelot of the Laik, Piers Plowman, The Bruce, Lives of Saints, and a seven-volume edition of Chaucer.
