Gramophone Records of the Languages and Dialects of the Madras Presidency: Text of Passages

Keywords: Telegraphs, Telecommunications, Tamil language, Gramophones, Linguistic Survey of India

Publisher: Govt. Press, Madras

Description: This book lists out gramophone records of the languages and dialects of the Madras Presidency. The idea of recording with a gramophone the dialects and languages of the Presidency was suggested to the Government by Sir George Grierson, the officer who was in charge of the Linguistic Survey of India. The content of the book has a certain scientific value. Besides the great interest that the book generates by enabling the languages to be heard and spoken by members of the tribe concerned, it is useful for students of languages, and to phoneticians, who will thus get access to the actual sounds used in each language.
