Now let us go to the ancient Indian language SANSKRIT-- which is the oldest language in the world , with the most immense vocabulary, clear speech, perfect pronunciation, accurate expression and politeness.
Since Panini wrote the adaptable Sankrit grammar 7500 years ago, there has been NO changes, it is that perfect-- the work of a genius!!
Rig veda was written in 5000 BC in Sanskrit.
It can be adapted to Backus-Naur Form grammar that is used to describe modern programming languages today. The 12 strand Vedic Maharishis had beautifulFRACTAL MINDS, and could see even numerical problems as fractals.
There is no communication every year , like for English " the following new words have been added to the Oxford English dictonary in the year 2009". Sanskrit has no meanings by connotations and hence cannot age. It has perfect morphology that leaves no room for error.
NASA had declared that sanskrit is the only unambiguous spoken language on the planet. Its alphabets are impeccably arranged. There are no proper nouns in Sanskrit. Every single Sanskrit word has a meaning built into the word itself.
The principles of sound harmonics working precisely and consistently through the entire language, from the basic four sounds through thousands of words and their variations. The way words unfold from their seed forms is amazing. The mathematical precision throughout the language and give it its extraordinary power .
Believe me when I say, Rigveda was transmitted through 'Oral Tradition' without even a slight error.
There is a direct link between the sound and signs,it is phonetic. The writing of Sanskrit language is based on the sound of the spoken form. Sanskrit has no spelling, nor there are any silent letters . There is logic in its sound system, and a natural continuity in its word-making as well as sentence-making. Sanskrit sentence structure is flexible--to hell with syntax. The order of words in a sentence does not matter.
Sanskrit has three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), three numbers (singular, dual, and plural), and eight cases (nominative, accusative, instrumental, dative, ablative, genitive, locative, and vocative), although only in the singular of the most common declension does a noun show different forms for each case. Adjectives are inflected to agree with nouns. Verbs are inflected for tense, mode, voice, number, and person.
There is a vibration or resonance in the sounds of Sanskrit and hence is the choice language for mantras.( CYMATICS )
--- to hell with the ridiculous spelling bee contest -- a wart counting competition would be better. Only stupid languages have spelling.
ramah ramau ramaah -Nominative
ramam ramau raman -Accusative
ramena ramabhyam ramaihi - Instrumental
ramaya ramabhyam ramebhyah -Dative
ramat ramabhyam ramabhyah - Ablative
ramasya ramyoh ramanam- Genitive
rame ramyoho rameshu -Locative
he ram! he ramau! he ramaah!
Oh hell!! I cant even express the sanskrit words properly in english.
Sir William Jones, British Orientalist: “The Sanskrit language, whatever be its antiquity is of wonderful structure, more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin and more exquisitely refined than either.”
