"The Hindustani Manual" is a comprehensive guide to learning Hindustani, an umbrella term encompassing both Hindi and Urdu. This edition, carefully revised by Shamsul Ulama M. Yusuf Jafari, builds upon the earlier work of Duncan Forbes.

It is an invaluable resource for students, travelers, and anyone seeking to gain proficiency in this important South Asian language.

This edition offers insights into the language as it was understood and taught in the early 20th century, reflecting the linguistic landscape of British India. The inclusion of Maulavi khan bahadur Muhammad Yusuf Jafari's revisions ensures the manual's continued relevance and accuracy for its time. "The Hindustani Manual" remains a valuable historical artifact and a practical tool for those interested in the roots and evolution of modern Hindi and Urdu.
