The Present work consist of three parts – a Grammer, a series of sentences in English and Kashmiri English Vocabulary. The author has endeavoured to make the grammer as simple as possible. The Chief particularities of Kashmiri-pecularities which have been altogether ignored by previous writers are the existence of so-called matra vowels. A correct knowledge of these is essential to the comprehension of the most ordinary grammatical forms.
