What is Sanskrit?

Aspirants who are interested in pursuing their higher education in Sanskrit are curious to know what courses are available for this ancient language. Sanskrit is one of the oldest languages on the planet, with a historical background of more than 3,000 years. The origin of this ancient language is traced back to the Vedas in the Indian subcontinent. It was the native language of the Ind-Aryan people.

Sanskrit was first mentioned in the Vedas, which are the oldest Hinduism scriptures, which later on gained immense importance in the development of the Indian Civilization and Culture. The Language was later on used in classical Indian Literature, Science and Philosophy. Sanskrit has a highly complex structure and grammar, whereas verb conjugation, sentence formation, and noun declension are all sophisticated. There are more than 100,000 words in the Sanskrit language, which makes its vocabulary very rich and many words have multiple meanings and nuances. 

In the modern world, Sanskrit has lost its significance and now is only used in ritualistic and scholarly activities in India. With initiatives from both private and public institutions, there is a need to revive this ancient language. This once-lost ancient language has influenced many other native and international languages like Tibetan, Nepali, Bengali, Tamil, Hindi, and Greek.
