Abstract

Maithili is an Indo-Aryan and a scheduled language of India. It is spoken in the north-eastern part of the Bihar state of India and in the tarai region of Nepal. It is the 16th most spoken language of India and the 40th most spoken language of the world. The present paper forms a part of my Ph.D. thesis which attempts to revisit the major earlier works related to verbal system of Maithili. It also investigates the way how Maithili verbs have been treated by many Linguists and points out the facts that appears quite unconvincing and further leads us to a direction in which the study of the morphology of Maithili verbs becomes a matter of reinvestigation. There are certain quarries made in this paper which makes the study highly fascinating.
