Franz Bopp ( September 14, 1791, Mainz – October 23, 1867, Berlin ) was a German linguist known for extensive comparative work on Indo-European languages.

How carefully Bopp matured this work emerges from the series of monographs printed in the Transactions of the Berlin Academy ( 1824 – 1831 ), which preceded it.

As Bopp based his research on the best available sources and incorporated every new item of information that came to light, his work continued to widen and deepen in the making.

Critics have charged Bopp with neglecting the study of the native Sanskrit grammars, but in those early days of Sanskrit studies the great libraries of Europe did not hold the requisite materials ; if they had, those materials would have demanded his full attention for years, while such grammars as those of Charles Wilkins and Henry Thomas Colebrooke, from which Bopp derived his grammatical knowledge, had all used native grammars as a basis.

The further charge that Bopp, in his Comparative Grammar, gave undue prominence to Sanskrit stands disproved by his own words ; for, as early as the year 1820, he gave it as his opinion that frequently the cognate languages serve to elucidate grammatical forms lost in Sanskrit ( Annals of Or.
