Sankskrit was a part of Indo-European language family, but Sanskrit as a separate language developed only inside Indian subcontinent by Indian people. Vedic Sanskrit was the foundation of ancient Hindu Indian civilization, do not forget that. Today all North, East and Western Indian languages Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Gujrati, Bihari, Oriya, etc only evolved from Sanskrit and is fully mutually intelligible.

Great to hear that, But I would urge you not to just study it but also use it, bring value to the language, try to translate english books that you like in sanskrit and vice versa, remember, the legacy and value of a language is shaped by it's speakers, so merely learning the language is good but creating novel and translated work is super important for it to thrive and create an ecosystem

Let's answer it this way. If you begin by learning the alphabet and looking up the meaning of some words, it will be immediately rewarding. But to learn complete Sanskrit? A few years actually. It's one of the harder languages to really get to grips with. But that shouldn't deter you from making a start - any study of Sanskrit will be worthwhile. Good luck!
You are correct that it is fascinating to learn Sanskrit but you are wrong when you say "Sanskrit is the mother of all Indo-European languages" Based on linguistics. Proto-Indo-European is the proto language, not Sanskrit
Thanks for this comment. Interesting subject here. What Warwick actually said in his video is 'Sanskrit is close to the source of all Indo-European languages.' Still, we asked him to reply to your comment so he writes: 'Perhaps it would be more accurate to say it is close to the source of the Indo-Aryan branch of Indo-European languages, but it was felt this was too detailed for a very general audience. The simple point that was being made is that Sanskrit is related quite closely to European languages, including English, and being so ancient, so well documented, and so amazingly well structured, it can offer deep insights into all Indo-European languages. 'You are right to say that based on linguistics, Proto-Indo-European is the proto language, not Sanskrit. However, Proto-Indo-European, although very well researched, is of course a hypothetical language, while Sanskrit is a real language dating back, in its Vedic form, to at least around 1,500BC. It has an incredibly detailed grammar based on around 2000 roots. Going back to these roots is enlightening when investigating the source of a word, as illustrated in the video.'
Sanskrit coming from a ancestor language, indo european language. But the big problem is that we have a huge litterature in sanskrit and nothing of this ancestor language. And in the sanskrit litterature itself, nowhere you will find any reference to an ancestor language. And also there is no concensus from which part of the glob this ancestor was spoken. All this is speculations from westerners.

@@smk2SOA Gyan is in Hindi Knowledge is in English .(I am sure you already know that) Gyan in its original usage in Sanskrith was awareness about one's self or in other words Knowledge of the inside world, it was more related with spirituality and Agyaan was Knowledge about the outside world that would include almost anything other than one's self. In the modern usage of Gyaan in Hindi it just means the same as Knowledge in English also English doesn't have two separate words equivalent to Gyaan and Agyaan.

Sanskrit is not an old language - the languages that were actually old in North Indian subcontinent was Prakrit and Pali languages. There is a huge amount of confusion about Prakrit languages. There are 12 major North Indian languages 1, Apabhraṃśa (Prakrit); 2. Ardhamagadhi(Prakrit); 3. Dramili (oldest Prakrit); 4. Elu; 5. Gandhari; 6. Kamarupi; 7. Magadhi; 8. Maharashtri; 9. Paishachi; 10. Pali (also mentioned as Prakrit by some kingdoms); 11. Shauraseni; 12. Khasa. But each language is different and a few are referred as Prakrit language at different times especially the Dramili is the language used in the Ashoka edicts as Prakrit language which is the oldest written record for Pali and Prakrit. Ancient India had used Pali and Prakrit languages in Jainism and Buddhism literatures. Sanskrit is a new language that was created by refining, merging and choosing grammar and verbiage of all these 12 major languages- that’s why there is no record of written Sanskrit in ancient monuments or Jainism and Pali literature which were the oldest religions of Ancient India. Hence the claim to Sanskrits to be old is not proven and even Rig Veda is first written down in 14th century AD and all claims are only verbal and they wrongly point to the written literature records of Prakrit or Pali languages as Sanskrit. Hindi is formed much later by choosing the largest spoken dialect of Prakrit in the present day Uttar Pradesh. So it very clear that anything written in Sanskrit is newly written literature after Sanskrit was formed.
This Dravidianist anti-Sanskrit resentiment is really annoying. As a non-Indian, I periodically come across similar misconceptions about Indian languages, all of them coming from Dravidian nationalist sources and never from established scholarship. They are all rooted in pseudo-science and politics of India of the last decennia. Just a few points. First, Rigveda is dated by most scholars between 1500 and 1000 BCE. Its precise date is not entirely clear, but it's certainly much older than anything composed in Pali or Prakrits. The oldest material evidence is irrelevant, as material evidence except rock inscriptions doesn't survive well in South Asian climate and the text was originally orally transmitted as recognised by both Hindu tradition and current scholarship. The language and the historical realities of Rigveda are extremely archaic. They correspond to what is known about the history of the Northwest of Indian subcontinent 3500-3000 years ago. Second, the idea that Sanskrit was created by merging grammar and vocabulary of Prakrits reveals that the author of this statement doesn't know anything about history of Indo-Aryan languages. Scholars divide Indo-Aryan languages into 3 stages: Old, Middle and New. Sanskrit belongs to the category of Old Indo-Aryan languages, while Prakrits and Pali are Middle Indo-Aryan languages. Sanskrit is way more archaic than any of those languages. There's no way you can get Sanskrit by mixing them together. In fact, Sanskrit is the most archaic Indo-European language that is completely preserved. That's why everybody studying Indo-European linguistics, has to learn at least some Sanskrit. That's why you have Sanskrit scholars at all major world universities. Sanskrit is an important key to the history of Ancient Indo-Europeans. But if we believe Dravidian nationalists, everybody is deluded, except them. Third, the reason why Sanskrit appears later in ancient monuments is that until the first centuries CE, Sanskrit was a non-written language. All the existing works in Sanskrit were transmitted orally, and their transmitters refused to let them be written down as it could have potentially harm their sacredness. But from linguistic and historical analysis, mentions in other sources, we now that Sanskrit literature certainly didn't appear as late as you claim.
@@andrisk2703 please share the proof of the written text of Rig veda or any Sanskrit related material proof. If you can distinguish your belief and history based on archaeological evidence then you can understand what is going on.
@@andrisk2703 Sir, please do not confuse your knowledge of your religious affiliation with history based on facts from archeological findings, linguistic analysis, genetic analysis, scientific, etc. If there is any factual data that confirms that Sanskrit is older and has a written document of any sort please share and convey your opinion.
@@AlexVembar You can open a Wikipedia article on Sanskrit and you will find all the information with lots of sources regarding current scientific consensus on Sanskrit. The oldest Sanskrit text, Rigveda, is dated 10-15 century BC. That's not an opinion or a new finding, it's a recognized fact. And that's much older than anything else in India. Much older than any Pali or Tamil text.
Thanks for watching. He gave lots of reasons, but finally, that Sanskrit has words with deep meanings that can be practised and realised. Interesting way to approach a language!
Tamil is definitely ancient, though modern colloquial Tamil is distinct from the Old Tamil of inscriptions and classic literature. Classical Chinese, of comparable antiquity, is still widely read and studied, though again the modern Chinese languages have evolved into different idioms.

Sanskrit is a new language that was created by refining, merging and choosing grammar and verbiage of all these 12 major languages- that’s why there is no record of written Sanskrit in ancient monuments or Jainism and Pali literature which were the oldest religions of Ancient India. Hence the claim to Sanskrits to be old is not proven and even Rig Veda is first written down in 14th century AD and all claims are only verbal and they wrongly point to the written literature records of Prakrit or Pali languages as Sanskrit. Hindi is formed much later by choosing the largest spoken dialect of Prakrit in the present day Uttar Pradesh. So it very clear that anything written in Sanskrit is newly written literature after Sanskrit was formed.
Thank you for this interesting perspective. And thanks for watching!
This Dravidianist anti-Sanskrit resentiment is really annoying.
As a non-Indian, I periodically come across similar misconceptions about Indian languages, all of them coming from Dravidian nationalist sources and never from established scholarship. They are all rooted in pseudo-science and politics of India of the last decennia.
Just a few points.
First, Rigveda is dated by most scholars between 1500 and 1000 BCE. Its precise date is not entirely clear, but it's certainly much older than anything composed in Pali or Prakrits. The oldest material evidence is irrelevant, as material evidence except rock inscriptions doesn't survive well in South Asian climate and the text was originally orally transmitted as recognised by both Hindu tradition and current scholarship. The language and the historical realities of Rigveda are extremely archaic. They correspond to what is known about the history of the Northwest of Indian subcontinent 3500-3000 years ago.
Second, the idea that Sanskrit was created by merging grammar and vocabulary of Prakrits reveals that the author of this statement doesn't know anything about history of Indo-Aryan languages. Scholars divide Indo-Aryan languages into 3 stages: Old, Middle and New. Sanskrit belongs to the category of Old Indo-Aryan languages, while Prakrits and Pali are Middle Indo-Aryan languages. Sanskrit is way more archaic than any of those languages. There's no way you can get Sanskrit by mixing them together. In fact, Sanskrit is the most archaic Indo-European language that is completely preserved. That's why everybody studying Indo-European linguistics, has to learn at least some Sanskrit. That's why you have Sanskrit scholars at all major world universities. Sanskrit is an important key to the history of Ancient Indo-Europeans. But if we believe Dravidian nationalists, everybody is deluded, except them.
Third, the reason why Sanskrit appears later in ancient monuments is that until the first centuries CE, Sanskrit was a non-written language. All the existing works in Sanskrit were transmitted orally, and their transmitters refused to let them be written down as it could have potentially harm their sacredness. But from linguistic and historical analysis, mentions in other sources, we now that Sanskrit literature certainly didn't appear as late as you claim.
@@andrisk2703 please share the proof of the written text of Rig veda or any Sanskrit related material proof. If you can distinguish your belief and history based on archaeological evidence then you can understand what is going on.
@@andrisk2703 Sir, please do not confuse your knowledge of your religious affiliation with history based on facts from archeological findings, linguistic analysis, genetic analysis, scientific, etc. If there is any factual data that confirms that Sanskrit is older and has a written document of any sort please share and convey your opinion.
@@AlexVembar You can open a Wikipedia article on Sanskrit and you will find all the information with lots of sources regarding current scientific consensus on Sanskrit.
The oldest Sanskrit text, Rigveda, is dated 10-15 century BC. That's not an opinion or a new finding, it's a recognized fact. And that's much older than anything else in India. Much older than any Pali or Tamil text.
Wrong pronunciation. Listen to other scholars for perfect reference.
Well, thanks for watching anyway!
You never answered the question that why we should study Sanskrit
Thanks for watching. He gave lots of reasons, but finally, that Sanskrit has words with deep meanings that can be practised and realised. Interesting way to approach a language!
Tamil is definitely the oldest language still widely spoken
You may well be right.
Tamil is definitely ancient, though modern colloquial Tamil is distinct from the Old Tamil of inscriptions and classic literature. Classical Chinese, of comparable antiquity, is still widely read and studied, though again the modern Chinese languages have evolved into different idioms.
no one asking abt tamil here...
@@amiemohan8578 several ppl think Tamil is the older than Sanskrit, I just wanted to say thats not the case
@@dorotan461 oh..But Sanskrit very famous and taught in elite universities in Europe...
How can you talk about learning Sanskrit and call it sarnskrit? Come on!
Bro it’s accent I think
Chill lol
It's Samskrtam. Ignorant North Indians also made calling it Sanskrit mainstreem with their schwa deletion languages.
