"Hobson-Jobson" by Sir Henry Yule and A. C. Burnell is a glossary of colloquial Anglo-Indian words and phrases, written in the late 19th century. The work intricately details the etymologies and usages of terms that emerged from the interaction between English speakers and the diverse languages of India, reflecting the cultural exchanges during the British colonial period. The opening of "Hobson-Jobson" sets the groundwork by describing the historical context of Anglo-Indian colloquialism and the author's intentions. It mentions the correspondence between Yule and Burnell that ignited the project, highlighting their shared fascination with the incorporation of Indian words into English. The introductory remarks explain the glossarial approach taken, which not only catalogues words but also seeks to illuminate their origins and the cultural nuances behind them, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of language shaped by colonial encounters.
