An introduction to PÄli grammar for beginners, based on the principle of teaching grammar through composition using a gradually expanding vocabulary. Exercises requiring translation from and into PÄli form an integral part of each lesson. Thirty-two lessons in PÄli compiled by Lily de Silva, published by Vipassana Research Institute.
For answers to the exercises, and a list of errors occurring in the PÄli Primer with corrections, see the Key to PÄli Primer.
The PÄli Primer is designed as a convenient stepping stone to more advanced works such as A.K. Warder's Introduction to PÄli.
