Title: Samskrta-Subhodinī: A Sanskrit Primer
Author(s):
- Deshpande, Madhav
Description: As an introductory book to learning and teaching Sanskrit, the text deals with Sanskrit as a productive language rather than as a dead one merely to be deciphered. The book’s examples include many modified versions of classical Sanskrit passages. It also contains examples from Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions, as well as samples of Sanskrit poetry and satire. Because the book is oriented toward Sanskrit as a living language, it represents a significant advance over the traditional Western approach to the study of Sanskrit. It has been updated several times.

Title: William J. Gedney’s Studies on Tai Dialects: Glossaries, Texts, and Translations
Author(s):
- Hudak, Thomas John
Description: In 1964, William J. Gedney began his intensive and meticulous study of the Thai language family. Initially working on the Southwestern Branch and then moving on to the Central Branch of the family, Gedney worked in Thailand, Laos, and Hong Kong, recording wordlists, folktales, and songs. All of these early data can be found in this volume, including the dialects of Chieng Mai, Nakhorn Phanom, Nyo, Vientiane, Phu Thai, Roi Et, Loei, Ko Samuy and Ubon. Also included are the little studied Central Tai dialects found in northern Vietnam and southern China from such sites as Ha Giang, Po Muc, Lang Soen, Bac Va, and Yen Binh. This volume is the last in a series of seven that documents Gedney's work on the Tai language family.

Title: William J. Gedney’s Thai and Indic Literary Studies
Author(s):
- Hudak, Thomas John
Description: For most of his career Professor William J. Gedney has devoted his scholarly research to an in depth exploration and recording of Tai languages and dialects. These endeavors have resulted in numerous scholarly papers and seven lengthy volumes devoted to Tai languages and dialects. Models of clarity and precision, Gedney’s studies have helped to establish the field of historical-comparative Tai studies. What is not so well known is his contribution to folklore, translation, and literature. This volume, William J. Gedney’s Thai and Indic Literary Studies, remedies that situation. In this volume, Gedney discusses Thai riddles, problems in translating Thai poetry, and historical development and Sanskrit influences in Thai verse forms. The papers in this volume with their insights and new interpretations will undoubtedly contribute to a better understanding and appreciation of Thai literature and its history.

Gedney completed an exhaustive study of Lue, a Tai language spoken in northern Thailand, parts of Burma and the Sipsongpanna region of Yunnan in southern China. Using several informants, including the former ruling prince of Sipsongpanna, Gedney compiled a massive glossary of words, phrases, sentences, proverbs and song fragments. In addition, he elicited three lengthy texts dealing with the birth of the Buddha. This volume presents all of these data along with an introduction.
