Sanskrit Language Classes

by Langma School Language Consultant

Sanskrit is an ancient language that has been spoken and written in India since at least the 4th century BC. It is the primary liturgical language of Hinduism and the predominant language of most works of Hindu philosophy as well as some texts of Buddhism and Jainism. Sanskrit, through Prakrit and Pali, also influenced Tibetan, Mongolian, Burmese, Thai, Lao, Khmer, Mon Khmer and Myanmar languages.

Sanskrit was not only a spoken language but also a written form which evolved over three thousand years ago. It was originally used to write poetry but later on it was used to write prose texts as well. It was later adopted by many Indian vernaculars such as Hindi-Urdu to serve as a literary language.

Sanskrit is an Indo-Aryan language, which belongs to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European languages. It was spoken in an area covering modern day northern and eastern India as well as parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh.

There is a lot of speculation that Sanskrit is the root language of all languages. There are different theories about the origin of Sanskrit. Some believe that it is a dialect and others believe that it was brought to India by Aryans from outside. However, there are many similarities between Sanskrit and other Indo-European languages.

The Sanskrit language is an ancient language that was used in the Indian subcontinent. It is one of the oldest Indo-European languages. The Sanskrit language course is available in many universities and institutes, which offer a certificate course in Sanskrit language.

Students can also learn the language by taking online courses like edX’s Introduction to Sanskrit or Coursera’s Introduction to Classical Indian Civilization. The tradition of learning Sanskrit has been passed down from guru to shishya for over two millennia. The first Sanskrit language classes were established in the early 18th century.

Learning Sanskrit is not an easy task. It is a very complex and ancient language with a deep history. This course will walk you through the basics of the language and equip you with the skills needed to start your journey into this ancient language.
