Editing Gandhari language (section)

== Grammar ==
Gāndhārī grammar is difficult to analyse; endings were eroded not only by the loss of final consonants and cluster simplification of all Prakrits but also by the apparent weakening of final vowels "'to the point that they were no longer differentiated'".{{sfn|Salomon|Allchin|Barnard|1999|p=130}} Nonetheless, there was still at least a rudimentary system of [[grammatical case]].{{sfn|Salomon|Allchin|Barnard|1999|p=132}} Verbal forms are highly restricted in usage due to the primary usage of longer texts to translations of religious documents and the narrative nature of the sutras but seem to parallel changes in other Prakrits.{{sfn|Salomon|Allchin|Barnard|1999|p=133}}
