"Santhali is one of the Bihari dialects, but it has been wrongly classed as the Austric language. This grammar is based on the actually spoken sentences of the Santhal people recorded by P.B. Bodding in his Santhal dictionary. The students, researchers and scholars having interest in languages may find this book useful."
