Title: Balti grammar
Description: Mr Read lived in Baltistan, Northern India, as it was then, for about twelve years.  He served the Balti people and learnt their language becoming as fluent as a native speaker.  His extensive grammar is the only written record of the Balti language of his day.  Linguists are only now focusing on this ancient Tibetan dialect, trying to reduce it to a written form.
