Abstract

Morphological adaptation is a very general phenomenon in the world languages. Carstensen (1986: 827) and Sapir (1921: 2) note some morphological changes in English and German in their loans from French and Latin. This paper, giving a descriptive account, highlights some similar morpho-phonological features in some commonly shared lexical items- loans adapted from mainly Persian and Arabic, in five Indo Aryan languages, Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, Marwa?i and Pashto.
