family. A full and detailed aooount of the language was published by Ernest Broese of the Church Missionary Society in 1884. From this time Malto has been provided with a written literature, Christian in content, and using the system of transcription in the roman alphabet established by Droese. The Psalms and the Gospels appeared in a Malto translation in 1884, the same year as Droese's grammar. Since then the whole of the Bible has appeared in Malto, and various other religious works have been printed in the Malto language, a selection of which are mentioned by the author of the present work in his introduction. On the other hand, apart from the short account in LSI, TV, 446-55, no further first-hand study of this language was made until the author of the present work visited the district in March 1970. For this reason the Director of the Centre of Advanced Study in Linguistics at Annamalai was, as he says in his foreword, very glad to include this small volume in the series of publications of the Department. Now that the ice has been broken, it is to be expected that others interested in Dravidian linguistics will visit the Maltos to study their language.
