Dr. Guna Nand Juyal started scientifically comparing Kumaoni and Garhwali languages by in his research and book- Madhya Pahadi Bhasha (Garhwali-Kumaoni) ka anushilan aur uska Hindi se smabdnh (1966).
Dr. Bhavani Datt Upreti provided comparison of Garhwali- and Kumaoni languages in his book ‘Kumaoni Bhasha ka Adhyayan’ (1976). Bhavani Datt Upreti paid attention on grammar for comparison.
Bharti Pandey (2011) compared Kumauni and Garhwali languages in her article ‘Uttarakhand ki Lok Bhashaon evam any Rajyon ki Bhashaon ka Tulnatmak Adhyan.Howvwer, less importance
Bhishma Kukreti (2012) compared Garhwali, Kumaoni and Nepali languages minutely from grammatical point of view.
Now, a book Uttarakhandi Bhashaon ka Tulnatamak Adhyayan (Garhwali-Kumaoni par kendrit) by Dr. Bihari Lal Jalandhari (2012) is welcome. Dr Jalandhari did research too on philological differences of Kumaoni and Garhwali for his Ph.D. thesis.
. The present book has five chapters for dealing the comparison of Kumaoni and Garhwali languages.
The first chapter ‘Vishya Pravesh evam Prastavan’ deals proving Garhwali and Kumaoni as languages, the literary works and research works on grammar, phonological researches , dictionaries of Kumaoni and Garhwali languages.
The second chapter deals about geographical; historical; and social as caste, education, religious beliefs and economical backgrounds of Garhwal and Kumaon.
Third chapter ‘Garhwali evam Kumaoni Boli ka Shabd Bhandar’ has the following main subjects
1-Words of Hindi in Kumaoni and Garhwali languages
2-Sanskrit Words in Kumaoni and Garhwali languages
3-Plai Words in Kumaoni and Garhwali languages
4-Apbhransh (vulgar) Words in Kumaoni and Garhwali languages
5-Foreign languages Words in Kumaoni and Garhwali languages
Fourth Chapter discusses comparison of prefixes, suffixes and participles in Garhwali and Kumaoni languages
The last chapter thrashes in details about differences of sentence construction style of both the languages.
The biggest drawback of first chapter as well the whole book is that Dr. Jalandhari totally ignored the works of Dr. Juyal , Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna ( Garhwali Bhasha ka Vyakaran ki Rup Rekha) , Dr. Bhavani Datt Upreti (Kumaoni Bhasha ka Adhyayan) and Rajni Kukreti (Garhwali Vyakaran). No research work is complete in comparing grammatically Garhwali-Kumaoni without mentioning names and referring the works of Juyal, Bahuguna and Upreti.
The book is an outstanding effort for bridging Kumaunis and Garhwalis through linguistic means. Dr. Bihari Lal Jalandhari has been successful in making readers understand the insights of both the languages. At the same time, the philologist, learned scholar Bihari Lal provides the grammatical differences that prove the exclusivity of both the languages.
The book will inspire young generation for developing their mother tongue literature.
The future research scholars will find the book very purposeful
The book is one of the jewels of Kumaoni-Garhwali grammar works. The book is definitely a collector’s book.
