The choice of a modern Indian language as main language in the
curriculum ,Buddhistische und Südasiatische Studien‘
|
Students who are primarily interested in more recent
and contemporary India must choose a modern Indian language as the
main language in their studies. (Students of so-called Classical
Indology, which concerns itself with Indian antiquity, have
Sanskrit as their main language.) Although the Institut für
Indologie und Tibetologie strives to offer courses in several
modern Indian languages (for further information please see the
updates on the LMU’s offerings), the possibilities of
comprehensive guidance of the students are limited in our small
institute (every European institute of Indological studies is
small and limited in its possiblities), and a comprehensive
guidance can be offered for the southern Indian language Kannada
and only to a certain extent for the northern Indian language
Hindi. Please do not assume that other languages and their
associated regional cultures can be represented in an
academically satisfying manner at our institute. It happens
repeatedly that students expect that an ‘institute of Indology’
can treat the whole of India, which in view of the enormous size
of the Indian republic is plainly impossible. Just as no institute
in India offers ‘Europology’ including the cultural studies of
entire Europe, no single institute in Europe can treat the whole
of India. A brief characterization of Kannada, meant primarily
for students of the linguistic MA “Cultural and Cognitive
Linguistics” (CCL), is available for
reading and downloading here as a PDF file. An HTML
webpage can be found here.
Interested persons may also refer to the Wikipedia webpages in German
and English
(and naturally in Kannada
and Sanskrit). |

Information about the use of Unicode-Fonts for Indological purposes on Apple computers with the Mac OSX operating system can be found here. This is not quite up to date, but it may be useful nonetheless.
