Quite a number of people are studying Santali language; and as at that time no short grammar for the use of beginners is to be had, the writer was prevailed upon to give a sketch of the language. The result is what is found in the following pages. Any one who wishes to enter more fully on the study of the language may be referred to the author’s materials for a Santali Grammar.

Paul Olaf Bodding (1865 – 1938) was a Norwegian missionary, linguist and folklorist. In 1890, he arrived in Santalistan (Santal Parganas) as a missionary priest. When Skrefsrud died in 1909, Bodding took over as the leader of the Norwegian missionary organization Santaline Mission (Den norske Santalmisjon). He served in India for 44 years (1889–1933), and operated mainly from the town Dumka in the Santhal Parganas-district. Bodding created the first alphabet and wrote the first grammar for the Santali-speaking native people in eastern India. In 1914 he also completed the translation of the Bible into the Santali language.He was also a celebrated scientist, and he is still well known among the santals living in the states of Jharkhand, Bihar and Assam as well as in Bangladesh and the Scandinavian countries. After returning from India in 1934, Bodding settled with his Danish-born wife Christine Larsen (1883–1940) in Odense, Denmark, where he died during 1938.
