I wanted to briefly share some news here for those interested in Pāḷi. At last, my Māgadhabhāsā (Pāḷi) grammar, which was in fact already finalized in 2020, has just now been commercially published in its third edition by Pariyatti Press (U.S.A.); it is available via Amazon, but soft-copies remain accessible free of charge since they only hold non-exclusive rights.

Sādhu for dual publishing and allowing accessibility to all. While I thought it would be “just another pāḷi book starting with _puriso purisā_”, I see that it is a new approach to the more traditional grammar book. It looks very interesting. It is not a first book of pāḷi for people. One should start with elementary pāḷi or the pāḷi primer. However, it is a great 2nd book to grab. I find that what we are spending most of our time learning is how words are formed together. It is my hope that this will shortcut me into a vast vocabulary. But surely this is how the ancient grammar books are structured. Job well done (at first glance)! ---

Sādhu, bhante, and thanks. 🙏🏻 I forgot to note that I won’t receive any royalties from potential proceedings … > [@bksubhuti](#): > > It is not a first book of pāḷi for people. One should start with elementary pāḷi or the pāḷi primer. However, it is a great 2nd book to grab. Such primers alongside grammatical parsings (such as are included in: [Anuruddha: A Guide to the Study of Pali](https://www.buddhism.hku.hk/wp-content/uploads/A-Guide-to-the-study-of-Pali.pdf)), togehter with the Māgadhabhāsā grammar for quick reference, can be an effective combination. I think it is best to get as quickly as possible to the reading of the texts and grasp the grammar mainly as one goes along (with the basics covered beforehand of course). We may consider how many grammar rules a toddler or child formally learns sitting down and trying to memorize them by rote before the age of seven and how well they can nevertheless speak at that time, which is the most important thing.
