Alexander Hamilton (linguist)
Alexander Hamilton (1762-1824) was a British linguist who was one of the first Europeans to study the Sanskrit language.〔T. K. John, "Research and Studies by Western Missionaries and Scholars in Sanskrit Language and Literature," in the St. Thomas Christian Encyclopaedia of India, Vol. III, Ollur() 2010 Ed. George Menachery, pp.79 - 83〕 He taught the language to most of the earliest European scholars of Indo-European linguistics. He became the first professor in Sanskrit in Europe.
==In India==
Hamilton seems to have been born in India, but Scotland is not impossible. He was the first cousin of his namesake, the American statesman Alexander Hamilton.〔Ron Chernow, ''Alexander Hamilton'', Penguin, 2004, p.140〕 He became a lieutenant in the navy of the East India Company and arrived in 1783.〔History of Linguistics. History of Linguistics. Vol. IV, p. 67.

He also married a Bengali woman.〔Hermione De Almeida, George H. Gilpin, ''Indian Renaissance: British romantic art and the prospect of India'', Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2005, p.60.〕
