About
the
Book
Dr. Israel spent
a
total
of
three months with infor-
mants, and collected in this
time
sufficient material to
pro-
vide
a
full, accurate and authori-
tative description of the lang-
uage. In particular he has been
able to establish a system of
transcription for the language
which accurately renders the
phonology and replaces a l l
previous attempts in this dire-

ction.
and
morphology have been
worked out and presented in
satisfactory and comprehensive
detail.
A
series of valuable and
interesting texts have been pre-
sented in transcription and
translation, and vocabulary
more complete than all pre-
vious vocabularies combined
has
been made available.
For
Dravidianists Dr. Israel's work
should long remain a standard
work of reference
as
well as a
model for
the
study and des-
cription
of
the
non-literaty
languages.

the main task of provi-
ding
a
full and accurate acco-
unt
of
the principal dialect of
Kuvi has been admirably per-
formed
by
Dr. Israel.
It
is an
important contrib"tion to Dra-
vidian studies, and
it
should
long
remain
in use as
a
stand-
ard work .for
the
students
of
Dravidian linguistics.
