Abstract
The aim of this article is to provide detailed descriptions of the morpho-syntactic variations of grammatical relations within the nominal and verbal paradigms in three south Asian Languages. The sample includes the Indic/ Hindi/Urdu, the eastern Iranian Pashto and the western Iranian Balochi languages, which are selected in the range of new Indo-iranian languages, to explore the variations and invariants in a cross-linguistics frame. The main patterns in concern include: case relators in demonstrating the linguistic case marking, case system classifications, syntactic/ morphological ergativity opposition, split ergative system, unergative unaccusative distinction, as well as quirky subjects, in the languages sketched with in the paper.
