The book that Professor Tull refers to is by Pierre-Sylvain Filliozat's and is translated into English by T.K. Gopalan, under the title:

The Sanskrit Language: an Overview
History and structure, linguistic and philosophical representations, uses and users

I don't have the book at hand (though I have read it), but you might want to look at: Pierre-Sylvain Filliozat's The Sanskrit Language: An overview.

It is not overly long, but there is no shortage of detail.

I have a friend who teaches English grammar in a correspondence school.  I would like to give him a notion of the glories of  the Sanskrit grammatical tradition.  Can someone recommend a good sketch for someone with no indological background of how Paninian grammar works, and of the tradition of grammar and philosophical grammar after him?  I am thinking of something of the length of a chapter in a book or a pamphlet.

Thanks,

Allen
