"On the Evolution of Language" is a novel on how languages come into existences as exhibited in the specialization of the grammatical processes, the differentiation of the parts of speech, and the integration of the sentence. Using various Indian languages as a reference point, it, among other aspects, goes into the process of how words are formed using either of the four processes of juxtaposition, agglutination, compounding and inflection.
