  • Language and Literature
    1 Indian Languages and Literature Introduction Thousands of years ago, the people of the Harappan civilisation knew how to write. Unfortunately, their script has not yet been deciphered. Despite this setback, it is safe to state that the literary traditions of India go back to over 3,000 years ago. India is a huge land with a continuous history spanning several millennia. There is a staggering degree of variety and diversity in the languages and dialects spoken by Indians. This diversity is a result of the influx of languages and ideas from all over the continent, mostly through migration from Central, Eastern and Western Asia. There are differences and variations in the languages and dialects as a result of several factors – ethnicity, history, geography and others. There is a broad social integration among all the speakers of a certain language. In the beginning languages and dialects developed in the different regions of the country in relative isolation. In India, languages are often a mark of identity of a person and define regional boundaries. Cultural mixing among various races and communities led to the mixing of languages and dialects to a great extent, although they still maintain regional identity. In free India, the broad geographical distribution pattern of major language groups was used as one of the decisive factors for the formation of states. This gave a new political meaning to the geographical pattern of the linguistic distribution in the country. According to the 1961 census figures, the most comprehensive data on languages collected in India, there were 187 languages spoken by different sections of our society.

    ALEKSANDRA TUREK DOI 10.33896/POrient.2019.2.5 Uniwersytet Warszawski RADŹASTHANI – POCZĄTKI JĘZYKA I LITERATURY ABSTRACT: The paper presents a general introduction of Rajasthani – the language used in North-Western India – the development of the language and the beginnings of Rajasthani literature. It also draws attention to the complexity of linguistic nomenclature used for Rajasthani and to its relation with other North Indian languages, with a special regard to Hindi. The rise of literary tradition in the vernacular of North-Western India and its connection with the history of Hindi literature is analysed. Rajasthani is considered to be the first vernacular of North India in which literature has evolved, and hence predates the oldest works from the region known as Hindi belt by at least two hundred years. Rajasthani and Gujarati used to have one linguistic form, which only split into two languages after the 15th century whereby Rajasthani adopted its modern form, still used today, and Gujarati developed independently. The claims of some scholars that the initial literary period of North-Western India – i.e. until the 15th century – be included in the history of Hindi literature are also presented in the paper. KEYWORDS: Rajasthan, Rajasthani language, Rajasthani literature, Hindi, Adi Kal Radźasthani (rājasthānī) to ogólny termin na określenie różnorodnych form języ- kowych, mających własne liczne odmiany dialektalne, używanych na obszarze Radźa- sthanu (Rājasthān), czyli tej części północno-zachodnich Indii, która mieści się w gra- nicach współczesnego stanu o tej samej nazwie. Warto jednak pamiętać, że podobnie jak większość nazw poszczególnych języków regionalnych Indii Północnych, także ten termin wprowadzono dość późno, na przełomie XIX i XX w.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The study of Sanskrit texts constituting and representing the high culture was the main focus of the discipline of Indology from its very beginnings. The shift toward regional cultures and compositions originating from local folk traditions was made much later1 and it was not until relatively recently that works popular only in oral transmission (orature) drew scholars’ attention2 . This change of scholarly focus to works created by regional culture with its oral tradition within local borders determines a new perception and understanding of what Indian high culture really is. A new question can thus be raised: to what extent does what we understand to be the high culture represent the form created by scholars-specialists of Indology who tried to reconstruct Indian culture by analysing 1 Among the first scholars to conduct a local study on a particular region of India were James Tod, the author of a monumental work on Rājasthān, published in 1829 and 1832. The work includes Rājasthānī legends and stories collected in various regions of Rājasthān, transmitted only orally; Temple who in 1884 published legends and romances popular in Pañjāb; and Elwin Verrier, who collected folk songs from the eastern part of the region where the Hindī language was spoken, i.e. Chattīsgaṛh (1946).
