Learn Sanskrit at Langma

“The Sanskrit language, whatever be its antiquity, is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either, yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity, both in the roots of verbs and in the forms of grammar....""

Origins

The word Sanskrit is a combination of two words: ‘Sanskar’, which means moral values, and ‘Krit’, which means inculcating. Sanskrit is considered to be one of the oldest systematic languages in human history. It is an old Indo-Aryan language with a recorded history of more than 3500 years. It was very long until people started to compose works in Sanskrit in their regional scripts. This means that Sanskrit did not have a definite script, like Roman (for English) or Devanagari (for Hindi). It is only recently that Devanagari has been the standard script for writing in Sanskrit. Even though the manuscript started very late, Sanskrit has 30 million manuscripts with around 7 million manuscripts preserved in India itself, more than the magnitude of works of Greek and Latin combined!

Sanskrit had acquired many forms depending on the geographical and social circumstances. Vedas were the first scriptures to be composed in Sanskrit, in a form of Sanskrit known as Vedic Sanskrit. Whereas the rules of one of the finest grammars ever produced were composed by the great Indian scholar Panini in the form known as Classical Sanskrit.

Mother Of All Languages

Sanskrit, being one of the most systematic ancient languages, has greatly influenced most of the other languages used at present. This includes western languages like German, French, and English. However, due to its proximity to the Indian subcontinent, most Asian languages have been highly influenced by Sanskrit. Some examples of interesting similarities are given below:
