It's actually depict a Khmer woman, since Thai is heavily influenced by Khmer culture, clothing and art. And yes, Pali is such an ancient Indian language.
I wish you had used the original real name of the language. In Srilanka, where this language is mainly found and used it is called as Maagadhi. We in India, call it "Srilankan Maagadhi" or "Maagadhika". And, originally the word "Pali" refers to a fixed portion or section of the lithurgical text. However, the word Pali is a modern epic name given by Western scholars recently..
Pali was one of the earliest and most widely spoken languages in India! That’s why Buddhist scholars adopted it cuz it was the language of the common man. Eventually that place was taken by Prakrit and then Sanskrit
Pali was created using many different prakrit languages and Magadhi prakrit as it's base template, it was not a mother tongue/vernacular language, vernacular languages were prakrits using which it was made.
The oldest surviving Buddhist texts in Pali language come from the relic chamber of a Buddhist stupa at Sriketra, Burma. They consist of a twenty leaf manuscript of solid gold and a large glided reliquary of silver.A new and exhaustive palaeographic study of these inscriptions shows that they dated fr 5th century AD. Unlike all the other Buddhist societies of Southeast Asia , evidences of Mahayana contacts in Pyu Burmese cities is SCANT. It is clear that Pyu Burmese kingdoms were in contact with several Indian kingdoms in the south,east as well as north but stood in tutelary relationships to none. From the earliest evidence Pyu Buddhist writing, art architecture shows processes of adaptation at work that laid the foundation of distinctive Burmese traditions of Buddhism within the greater Buddhist euumene ( by Asajii)crd to asaji
I listened to this eyes closed First it sounded like Odia( my native language) then Hindi then Sanskrit but when it got faster it sounded Japanese and sometimes Cantonese 😂
Buddha is a Sanskrit speaker, but most of his student were from lower class. That's why 10 years after Buddha, his student gathered together to summary what he taught to every single of his student.. by Pali language.
That's a wrong information, during the time of Buddha there was no existence of Sanskrit language, they used speak in Pali and use it in daily life. After buddha death even King Ashok inscriped Buddhist teachings onto rocks and pillers in Pali language. After many many centuries sanskrit evolved from Pali and bhramins used it to write their vedas etc
I don't want to argue. 400 millions of Buddhist today are not real 'Buddhist' anymore. You know why? Because he (the Buddha) said "do not worship idols". So why there're statues everywhere in the Buddhist's temple today? To me it doesn't matter what is right or wrong cuz all the Buddhist scripture that you read were written by human which contain some false information. Some scriptures were added way... long after his death - which means it's NOT his teaching & his words. Also you have to note that it was 200yrs later after his death that the people started to write about his history seriously.
Pali is not older than gandharan prakrit Vedic Sanskrit > magadhi prakrit(Budha language)= gandharan Prakrit > Pali and classical Sanskrit > Buddhist hybrid Sanskrit
@@thechallengeforlife4177 In the context of classical Sanskrit and Pali, it's accurate to say that Pali is older than classical Sanskrit. However, when considering Vedic Sanskrit, it predates Pali as it gave rise to all Prakrit languages, including Pali. Notably, Vedic Sanskrit was primarily an oral language without its own script, relying on oral transmission across generations.
@@zitka123 Classical Sanskrit is actually a refined version of Sanskrit. Pānini refined Vedic Sanskrit, which led to the development of Classical Sanskrit. While Classical Sanskrit may have had some Prakrit influence, it’s important to understand that Vedic Sanskrit is older, as Prakrit languages wouldn't exist without it. It’s also worth noting that terms like "Sanskrit" and "Prakrit" are modern terminologies. We don't know what the Vedic people called their language or what people during the Mauryan period called theirs. Therefore, the idea that Sanskrit means "refined" and Prakrit means "natural" doesn’t quite work, as these terms are not as old as the languages themselves.
@chandraathithan11 I'm sorry, but Tamil is actually a Dravidian language.... The Dravidian languages are not related to Sanskrit at all..... None of the Dravidian languages descend from Sanskrit..... The reason Tamil or Telugu, for example, have so many Sanskrit words is because of the fact that Sanskrit is the sacred language of the ancient Hindu scriptures..... Therefore, many Sanskrit words made their way into the Dravidian languages because of the importance of Classical Sanskrit in the culture and religion of the Dravidian-speaking peoples of South India..... but still, the Dravidian languages do not descend from Sanskrit..... In fact, English, German, Latin, Greek, Lithuanian, Latvian, Russian, Ukrainian, Persian (Farsi), Pashto, Hindi/Urdu, Gujarati and Bengali are all related to Sanskrit, but not Tamil or Telugu.....
@@andrewtheworldcitizenPerhaps he meant to say, that it sounds similar to Tamil, which very well may be true, since phonologically Indo-Aryan and Dravidian languages are closer to each other, than Indo-Aryan is to other Indo-Germanic languages. On top of that, like you already mentioned, the Dravidian languages have borrowed from Sanskrit, however Sanskrit has only few Dravidian loan words. Both language families have influenced each other for the past 3500 years, so it shouldn't be a surprise for it to sound similar.
