"It is certainly an accepted historical fact that the Santals, Hos and Mundas originally belong to the same ethnic group, and it had been amply demonstrated that they still represent the same ethnic type with a strong linguistic affinity between the dialects they use. The language of the original ancient race, however, was not written so far as is known, and there is therefore no classical standard by which its various surviving forms can be measured and composed. Although the three dialects, Santali, Mundari and Ho, of the so called Munda family of languages, do contain marked features of common descent, they have, by the action of time and separate environments, drifted apart on many points of usage, particularly vocabulary and pronunciation. The language spoken by the Hos is a Munda or Kolarian dialect to which Mundari and Santali are nearly allied. This book, being reissued in April 2003, is perhaps the first such attempt to expose the Ho dialect in its entire form, not only giving details of the intricacies of the language but also providing English-Ho vocabulary with short pieces of translation."
This work, first published in 1994, provides a framework which covers the major aspects of contemporary standard Korean and allows cross-language comparisons. It offers a wide-ranging and comprehensive grammatical description of Korean, covering syntax, morphology, phonology, ideophone/interjections and lexicon.
