I think grammar is the system that sets rules for the correct usage of the language.

Personally, If I decide to learn a new language, the first thing that comes into my mind is the grammar of that language. I strongly believe that grammar enables learners to convey a more intelligible meaning than just the stringing together of words. Knowing the Grammar of a certain language also enables learners to create countless sentences. Lexis can wait.

There are many stories, opinions, justifications and arguments to describe Grammar. Everyone takes it with ones own point of view. Definitely there is some ground to claim a specific status of Grammar. 

I like the simplest definition of Grammar; " Grammar is the name of creating perfection and universality in a language."

Grammar is to study how the word it's written and read and how it must be pronnounced

Grammar is the commonly accepted usage of words in modern times. Grammar or usage change as years pass by. Nowadays badder is accepted instead of worse for example. Gay means homosexual. It used to mean happy.

I go for the saying: Grammar is the language.

A common definition of grammar is: How words are put in a correct order to construct meaningful statements or sentences.

Anyhow, if we analyse the word "Grammar", it the whole system and structure of a language or of languages in general. Grammar usually consists of syntax and morphology (including inflections) and sometimes also phonology and semantics. If we take this into consideration, we can perceive that Grammar is, really, the language itself.
