What reading level is A Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian Or South-Indian Family of Languages book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the particulars that follow all the Dravidian dialects agree: what is said of one holds true of all.
(1.) The place of a passive voice is to a large extent supplied by the use of the neuter or intransitive form of tbe verb. This is in every dialect of the family the most idiomatic and characteristic mode of expressing the passive; and wherever it can be used, it is always preferred by classical writers. Thus, it was broken, is ordinarily expressed in Tamil by ' udeindadu,' the preterite (thi...rd person sin- gular neuter) of ' udei,' intransitive, to break oi- become broketi; and though this is a neuter, rather than a passive properly so called, and might literally be rendered it has come into a brohen condition, yet it is evident that for all practical purposes nothing more than this is required to express the force of the passive. The passivity of the expression may be increased by prefixing the instrumental case of the THE PASSIVE TOICE, 365 agent, e.g., ' ennal udeindadn,' it was hroken hy me, or literally it came into a broken condition through me.
