"A Grammar of the Sanskrita Language," authored by Charles Wilkins in 1808, offers an extensive exploration of Sanskrit, renowned as one of the world's oldest and most intricate languages. This comprehensive guide encompasses grammar, syntax, and pronunciation, alongside a thorough examination of the Sanskrit alphabet. The book's first chapter introduces the elements of Sanskrit, including the alphabet, vowels, consonants, compound consonants, and extraneous characters. Chapter two focuses on orthography, detailing permutations of vowels and consonants. Chapters three and four cover the declension of nouns and pronouns, while chapter five discusses verb conjugation. Participles and participial nouns are explored in chapter six, followed by the formation of derivative words in chapter seven. Chapter eight examines indeclinable words, and chapter nine addresses compound word formation. The genders of nouns are discussed in chapter ten, and chapter eleven delves into syntax, including concord and the use of cases. Pronouns and verbs are further explored, with observations on their construction. Lastly, the book concludes with an errata section providing pronunciation guidance for each character.

Sir Charles Wilkins KH FRS (1749–1836), an English Orientalist and typographer, was the first to translate the Bhagavad Gita into English and introduced the term "Hinduism." He contributed significantly to Indian printing, creating the first Bengali typeface. His translation influenced European views of Hindu philosophy and Romantic literature. Wilkins returned to England in 1786, continuing his scholarly pursuits and receiving honors for his contributions to Oriental studies until his death in 1836.
