The Wonder That is Sanskrit

“Sanskrit language, whatever be its antiquity, is of a fantastic structure; more than than than perfect than the Greek, more extensive than the Latin and more exquisitely refined than either.”

These singular words of Sir William Mother Jones (1746-1794) are of import as the 18th century European enlightenment’s position of an ancient linguistic communication of Asia.

He had founded Asian Society in 1784. On 2nd February 1786, during the 3rd day of remembrance discourse he expressed his position of Sanskrit as a linguistic communication superior to Grecian and Latin

Professor Hydrogen Hydrogen Harriet Wilson says:”It is impossible to gestate a linguistic communication so beautifully musical or so magnificently grand.”
Pictet states :”The most beautiful perhaps of all languages”
One of the most exciting applications is the usage of Sanskrit as a natural linguistic communication interface for computers.

In 1984, an article was published in artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence) magazine which stated that Sanskrit is ideally suited as an intermediate linguistic communication for machine translation. That is if we have got to translate, Nipponese into English, we should first interpret Nipponese into Sanskrit and then Sanskrit to English.

Consider a sentence: Surface-To-Air Missile reads a book
If the words are interchanged in this sentence, the significance alterations completely. A book reads Sam! The significance is changed completely.

“Book Surface-To-Air Missile reads a” have no meaning! Whereas in Sanskrit even if the words are interchanged the significance will be the same!

Sanskrit words are ego expressive as they are all derived from about 4000 basic roots. They are usually a combination of two or more than roots. Once the significances of the roots are known and a word is divide into its basic roots, the significance of the word goes derivable and thus is ego expressive. The structural, grammatical and semantic places of Sanskrit do it a suitable campaigner for machine communication. Dr Sen Gupta ex-vice Chancellor of Burdwan University says: “Another facet of this perfect linguistic communication that should appeal to the modernists, is its fantastic science.

The five Vargas or classes in Sanskrit harmonic – ka, cha, ta, tha, dad – sounds of which arise from the pharynx down to the lips have got been most scientifically defined, described and classified which is a wonderment accomplishment according to all the linguistic scientists of the world. You may be surprised that the modern system of stenography followed by Pittman to his shorthand is indebted to this scientific discipline of linguistic communication embodied in Sanskrit.”
Sanskrit is described as the Language of Gods, the linguistic communication of immortals and ‘amarvani’ or’ that makes not perish’.

However one can not depict all the glorifications of the wonderment that is Sanskrit.
