APPENDIX. 

 1. The e and o sounds in Marwari. 



It is no exaggeration to say that in the Prakrta, Apa- 

 bhramsa, Old Bhasa and Modern Bhasa languages, one of the 

 most characteristic phonetical features is always found in the 

 form taken by the two vowels e and o, and their diphthongal 

 and compound representatives at, au and ai, aii. In fact, the 

 passing of ai and au into e and o, or ai and aii, is one of the 

 chief characteristics distinguishing the Prakrta and Apabhram- 

 sa phonetical system from that of Sanskrit, whilst, on the other 

 band, the contraction of ai and aii into e and o is the most 

 important phonetical feature of the Modern Bhasa, in compari- 

 son with the phonetics of all forms of speech belonging to the 

 Apabhramsa and Old Bhasa stage. In this connection, it is 

 interesting to observe that of the four different stages in the 

 development of the Modern Indo-Aryan Vernaculars, namely 

 (l)_the Sanskrit, (2) the Prakrta-Apabhramsa, (3) the Old 

 Bhasa, and (4) the Modern Bhasa stage, the 3rd agrees with 

 the 2nd in the elimination of the diphthongs ai 9 au, and the 

 preservation of the hiatus in the vocalic combinations ai and 

 a ^- feo, in the particular case of Mara van, the contraction of 

 ai and aii into e and d, becomes the chief characteristic distin- 

 guishing it from the Old Western Raiastbani.
