Index to मल्हार- Mellonsite for Advanced Levels of Hindi-Urdu Acquisition and Research
This page is an index of links to other pages which in turn are drafts of parts of a network of web-based classroom-compatible materials for learning, teaching, and exploring advanced (post second-year) levels of Hindi.
      (1) Indices of readings:
                  Prose:        Pre-Independence.                 Post-Independence.
                  Poetry:       Pre-Independence.                 Post-Independence.                 Dialectal.
      (2) Index of dialogs.
      (3) Index of monologs  (with audio).
      (4) Index of grammatical notes, drills, and exercises:   Level three.   Level four.   Review level two.
      (5) Measure your vocabulary
      (6) What is an "advanced construction" and what is its place in these learning materials?
      (7) Index to Sanskrit pages. (Not part of Mellon Project.)
      (8) List of references.
      (9) List of Hindi-Urdu speech sounds.
The creation of these materials during the late Nineties and the early Aughts was supported by funds from the Mellon Foundation as well as by a Visitorship (in 1999-2000) at the Institute for the Study of Languages and Cultures of Asia and Africa at the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. Preparation for the project was materially assisted by a Fulbright-Hays Research Abroad Award. In conception and design it owes inspiration to Vasu Renganathan's online Tamil project created during his years at the University of Michigan. This (2015) edition of Malhar owes its re-emergence after ten years of inaccessibility to the expert intervention of Lawrence Hook.
It is my hope that interested parties will have a look at these pages and let me have their ideas on how I might improve their effectiveness, platform-stability, and user-friendliness. I would also appreciate suggestions about what to include (and what to omit).
