Duncan Forbes (28 April 1798 – 17 August 1868) was a Scottish linguist. Forbes was born in Kinnaird, Perthshire and was brought up by his grandfather from the age of three after his parents and younger brother emigrated to the United States. Illiterate until 13, he showed no early signs of linguistic ability but despite this late start, at age 17 he was appointed schoolmaster of the village of Stralock. Shortly after this he attended Kirkmichael school followed by Perth Grammar School and the University of St. Andrews, gaining a master's degree from the latter.

  • Дункан Форбс (англ. Duncan Forbes; 28 апреля 1798 года, (англ.) — 17 августа 1868 года, Лондон) — английский лингвист и шахматный историк, переводчик. В своих трудах опроверг ряд мифов о древнем происхождении шахмат, но его выводы впоследствии были признаны ошибочными. Критика работ Форбса способствовала созданию современной истории шахмат. Был профессором в Калькутте, затем с 1837 года профессором восточных языков в Королевском колледже в Лондоне. В 1849—1855 годах был одним из администраторов Британского музея. (ru)
