It shares much of its grammar with the other language of the Central Pahari group like <a href="/wiki/Garhwali_language" title="Garhwali language">Garhwali</a>. The peculiarities of grammar in Kumaoni and other Central Pahari languages exist due to the influence of the now extinct language of the <a href="/wiki/Khasas" title="Khasas">Khasas</a>, the first inhabitants of the region. In Kumauni the verb substantive is formed from the root <i>ach</i>, as in both Rajasthani and <a href="/wiki/Kashmiri_language" title="Kashmiri language">Kashmiri</a>. In Rajasthani its present tense, being derived from the Sanskrit present <i>rcchami</i>, I go, does not change for gender. But in Pahari and Kashmiri it must be derived from the rare Sanskrit particle *<i>rcchitas</i>, gone, for in these languages it is a participial tense and does change according to the gender of the subject. Thus, in the singular we have: - Here we have a relic of the old Khasa language, which, as has been said, seems to have been related to Kashmiri. Other relics of Khasa, again agreeing with north-western India, are the tendency to shorten long vowels, the practice of <a href="/wiki/Epenthesis" title="Epenthesis">epenthesis</a>, or the modification of a vowel by the one which follows in the next syllable, and the frequent occurrence of <a href="/wiki/Aspirated_consonant" title="Aspirated consonant">disaspiration</a>.
