Because duolingo doesn't teach you anything. Buy a Hindi textbook and use it. That will help more than Duolingo. Also, find a native speaker of Hindi who can talk to you in Hindi fluently, so that you can get in actual Hindi practice and perhaps learn some more "slang-y" terms and constructions which might not be in a textbook.
Indian languages are sound based languages that's why ancient indians kept the knowledge intact as it is by remembering the sound patterns. And that's why in hindu dharm recital and pronunciation of mantras are important. We are proud of our ancient culture. they were so scientific. The world knows about mathematical power of ancient indians.
This was where my Khmer language originated from Sanskrit from Northern India. Used to written on the Angkor Walls. The same sounds but more like Telugu written form.🥰🥰 I tried to make connection to where the origin of the linguistic of my Khmer alphabetic came from. Now, I am more enlightened that Sanskrit was our based mother tongue. Beautiful! 👏Thank you for making the sounds of the Sanskrit for me to hear.🙏
On my trip to Angkor I bought a T shirt with Khmer letters, when I read them aloud, the girl selling them was flabbergasted, it was brahmi also on which my mother tongue Telugu script is based
@@skarumuru Thank you for clarifying what I have been curious about and searched for the origin of my Khmer Language came from...the linguistic of its root. I knew it in my heart but just need it to be factual. Greatly Appreciate it!
A kannada teacher was newly appointed to us in our 10th Standard (SSLC). In his first class, he asked us to write the Kannada Aksharamaale (Varnamaala) and Gunitakshara (Barakadi), And their pronunciations. 🤔This left us shocked and confused.😱 We wondered why this new teacher was making SSLC students write the syllabus of kinder Garden. We even worried whether we would pass Kannada in SSLC.😬 However, we were in for a surprise. 🤔Without us realizing it, he was reprogramming our minds to shift our focus from merely learning a subject to truly Understand and Realizing the language. In just a few months, he helped us grasp the grammar of the past nine years of study. As shocking as that first class was, our final exam results were equally astonishing, with many students scoring above 90% in Kannada.😎 He was, and still is, more than a teacher to me - A true Guru who continues to inspire me even today. I'm deeply grateful & forever indebt to him🙏. His name is C. V. RANGASHETTY.👼
Tamil has this interesting classification as well. 1) Val inam - Hard group - ka, ca, ta, tha, pa & Ra(ற) --> 1st column of Devnagari; In Devnagari each of these letters have Chathurvarga(four variations). Tamil grammar says it comes from the air that hits the throat. 2) Mel inam - Soft group - nga, nya, Na, nha(ந), ma & na(ன) --> Last column of Devnagari; These letters are called Udanpadu mei aka letters that come in conjunction with Hard group letters respectively(Similar to what you explained in maNdal). Tamil grammar says it comes from the air that hits the nose tip(top of the nose between eyes). 3) Idai Inam - Intermediate group - ya, ra(ர), la(ல), va, zha(ழ), La(ள) --> Following row after the above classification of Devnagari. Tamil grammar says they are inbetween the hard and soft. In addition, we add another group - 4) Grantha letters (to represent Vadasol/ Northern words ie., Sanskrit) --> Next row in Devnagari sha(ஷ), Sha(ஶ), sa(ஸ), ha(ஹ) and also ja(ஜ - represents 3rd and 4th varga of cha), xa(க்ஷ-ksha), ஸ்ரீ (only for shree; no shra, shraa, shri, shru , shruu, shre, shrae, shrai, shro and all) In Tamil, the chathur varga is pronounced in its natural flow mostly when soft group letter adjoins with hard group letter. Examples: Anjanaa is a+ny+cha+naa (அ ஞ் ச னா) in Tamil. cha(ச) pronounced as ja(ஜ) here. Mandalam is ma+N+ta+la+m (ம ண் ட ல ம்)in Tamil. ta(ட) pronounced as da here There is lot lot more which I can explain. But I will stop here. The systems had similarities or common origins or in someway transactional of their methods. Note - Special letters in Tamil: 1) Ra(ற) 2) na(ன) - Difference exists in writing only. Pronunced same as ந(nha). 3) zha(ழ) 4) q(ஃ) pronunced as 'hh' - Aaytham; This is rarely used. But in modern day we find it useful to represent Persian Za and Pha in muslim names by simply adding ஃ in front of ja and pa respectivly. Example: Manzil is ma+n+ஃ(q)+ji+l. Fahadh is q(ஃ)+pa+ha+th.
Because Both Sanskrit & Tamil language grammar books quote "Ainthiram", a lost Tamil linguistic Grammar (not Tamil or any language grammar. It is a linguistic book) book from which both these languages took rules to write their own grammar.
ळ exists in Sanskrth as rightly said, but only in Vedic Sanskrth, not in spoken Sanskrth. ळ exists in all South Indian languages - Kannada, Tulu, Konkani, Kodava, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam & in Marathi.
ळ exists in Punjabi (ਲ਼), Marathi, Gujarati (ળ), Odiya (ଳ), Western Dailects of Hindi (Kauravi, Haryanavi, Panchali). ळ existed in Vedic Sanskrit as well as Chalit Sanskrit, extensively used in Apabhranshas. So, it is not unique to Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
As a person who loves linguistics and scripts, this video is a MUST for people who have this same thirst for knowledge. When I first learnt these things, there was nobody to explain it in such a fun and intuitive way, and as you first learn the basics of linguistics, these things click in your head. More specifically, Devanagari is an alphasyllabary, the ultimate type of writing system (according to me). Thank you Dr. Navin, for bringing to light these things to more people. This stuff should be taught in schools, because it will make life for students easier instead of blindly learning.

I am being as a Thamizhan i can tell bravely thamizh is the first language after combined with sanskrit several indian language came in chain reaction made by your favorite parpans or ariyans in order to destroy thamizhs culture
00:33 I was taught well at home and I pronounce the sounds ङ & ञ perfectly well. However, the pronunciation of ऋ & क्ष has to be adapted according to the language spoken whether it is Marathi, Hindi, Nepali, Sindhi or Sanskrit.
I'm just 4 minutes into the video, but I'm loving it! I have for trying to explain these very things to people for years and years, because most of my own Indian friends have no idea why the sounds of our languages are arranged and written the way they are. When he put his hand on his voicebox, to explain unvoiced versus voiced consonants, I just knew this guy knows his stuff. This is exactly how I explain the difference. These concepts exist in other Indo-European languages too, but they are equally blind to these ideas until someone explains it to them. They explain why there's an N in coNtest, but an M in coMpound. N goes with T, and M goes with P. You see this clearly in the arrange of the Devanagari alphabet, but it is not at all obvious in the Latin script. Let me watch the rest of the video, and maybe I'll add more comments.
You are forgetting that the classification is based the source from where the sound originates like कण्ठ्य, दन्त्य, तालव्य, मूर्धन्य, ओष्ठ्य. Also sub classification like कठोर and कोमल. While grouping two adjacent columns you could have mentioned this difference of कठोर, कोमल.
Sorry, in a video, we have to strike a balance about what is the right level of detail, and this got skipped. I is covered in the accompanying article: futureiq.substack.com/p/the-elegance-of-the-devanagari-script -@Navin
The R sound of kRishna is not there in Tamil as you were telling though.. In Tamil we write Krishna as "Kirushna" (K becomes Ki because according to Tamil grammar rules first letter of any word shouldn't start with a plain consonant sound, but while saying the "i" sound won't be stretched, it would be very subtle).. infact even 'sh','h','j','s' sound doesn't naturally exist in Tamil, they were later adopted into the script as "northern" letters after influence of sanskrit..highly suggest you to do a video on Tamil sounds and grammar too, would be really interesting
'h' sound belonging is subjective. Because I have heard many dialects in central and south TN which pronounce the nga as ha like varanga as vararha.. Dialect differences but still h is not foreign to tamil. g and h are somewhat replaceable. H letter is adopted from Sanskrit but not H sound
ohh man...came here after reading your tweets on Devnagari script. Saw the topics of your other videos and immediately subscribed. 😊 Topics and titles are so interesting. Keep it up. 👍
There is no native script for Sanskrit. Sanskrit was a purely oral language without any written script. Even renowned grammar books and religious epics were composed orally and memorised. When other Indian languages had written scripts, even then Sanskrit remained unwritten oral language. When eventually it was put in writing, the Brahmi script was used for many centuries. Using Devanagari script for writing Sanskrit came much later. So equating Devanagari script with Sanskrit is incorrect
I think the writer of this comment has 0% knowledge about the origin of sanskrit and how many epics were written down on bark/leaves/naturally occurring things.....

क्योंकि देवनागरी लिपि के बारे में हिन्दी और मराठी लोगो को (शायद) पहले से जानकारी है। इस विडियो द्वारा हमारा प्रयास था की अंग्रेज़ी बोलनेवालों को देवनागरी लिपि की सुंदरता से परिचित कराएं। और अगर हर इन्सान सिर्फ अपनी ही भाषा बोलने का निश्चय करे तो किसी भी भाषा की वृद्धि नहीं होगी। भाषा और प्रेम दोनों बांटने से ही बढ़ते हैं। - Shrikant
Its amazing. Sanskriti language is easy on the basis of grammar but its very difficult to pronounce and find difference between one or two words but if we have teacher like this sir then its easy 😊
If you learn Linguistics you will understand there is no single oldest language or single root for all languages . There are nearly 7000 languages in the world which are classified in to 147 language families depending on different roots they have. Eg - The root of Sino tibetan language family is proto sino tibetan language , root of indo aryan language family is vedic sanskrit and so on. ❤
Man, I so needed to know this. Thanks for these deep dive sessions. I can now better appreciate Indian languages, which was always so easier to write and read compared to foreign ones.
00:33 The "ङ" (Ng) sound is perfectly pronounce. Many North Indian people can't correctly pronounce & There is no word starting with ङ in Hindi but, In Northeast Indian languages many words & names started & mostly used the ङ (Ng) sound.

After Sanskrit, in Indian languages Kannada is most classic language, resembling to Sanskrit. It's script also most beautiful among world languages. In Kannada what pronounces that will be exactly written without any exceptions, this can not happen in few languages. Hence it is called as " QUEEN " of all languages in the world.
Kannada has the greatest number of alphabets than any Indian Languages. Any Indian word can be written and pronounced in Kannada exactly the same way it is pronounced in native Indian language.
@@sunilzizou Sanskrit does not have its own script. It uses Devanagari script. Devanagari script was used by Pali and Prakrut language in North India. English language uses Latin alphabets.

Nice jock tamil and sanskrit are not oldest language these are civilized languages and there is no any very oldest scriptures of tamil and sanskrit 😂 north Indians says Asok's scriptures are related to sanskrit but in Prakrit and some pali and pali was the language of nalanda and vikramshila. Pali was rich language but it is not exist pali is mother of sanskrit and tamil that's why I am telling you because of their script 😂 jai Bharat
Until 8th grade I used to think that those letters at the end of each row are just rubbish. But in 9th while learning anusvar and anunasik in hindi, I learned the actual reason behind them and it blowed my mind that the script is sooo scientific and beautiful!
you missed how many urban hindi speakers don't exactly know the correct pronunciation of the alphabet 'फ' (pha) they always pronounce it as 'फ़' (fa) here are some hindi words that originated from sanskrit and their correct pronunciation e.g: it's phool not fool it's phir not fir it's saphalta not safalta it's phatna not fatna it's phailna not failna ps: hindi is derived from sanskrit which doesn't have any 'fa' sounding word. but urdu words like 'fauji' 'farz' 'sirf' 'fursat' and 'faltu' are pronounced different.
Hindi is derived from khadi boli. The 'fa' sound us negligible there. It's very tatbhav heavy. Sanskrit based tatram words are additions in standard Hindi along with additional sounds like 'fa' to allow speaking persian loan words in a "pure" way. And similar other things are there too.
Why tamilian and Dravidian shouting in comment section...they not say anything about you language...they just respresenting and talking about there own language

Almost all Indian languages are sound based and perfect in their own sense. Comparing , debating and arguing one over other is futile. We should be proud of all of them!

No language is pure. And Tamil comes later than Sanskrit. Otherwise tamil would be mother of all Dravidian languages like how Sanskrit is. But Tamil is a sister language
@@sunilzizou What proof do you need. Tamil in it's earliest form is around 300 BC. When it diverged from proto Dravidian language. So other Dravidian languages too must have diverged around the same time. So nearly all old Dravidian languages share approximately the same timeline. Sanskrit meanwhile is at the start of the Vedic age which is around 2500 BC when the right Veda was first composed. But since it mentions Kabul and swat in Afghanistan and northern Pakistan which is now considered a foreign land, it's history is probably much older. And it's the mother of all Aryan languages. Don't bring the script into the discussion as the word brahmi (mother of all Indic scripts) is also most probably of Sanskrit origin
@@monishbeck3859 first of all you should know before the vedic period india had people example indus valley civilization, it has a script which is similar to the script found in TN in the recent archeological survey. Please check that out. Also at one point in history before the Aryans came, Tamizh was the language spoken in all of india. (READ Dr. BR AMBEDKAR speeches and writings). The sanskrit word Dravida is coming from the prakrit word Damila which is the word used for the Tamils. We should not be having this debate coz, it's now well established that Tamizh is older than sanskrit. Even PM Modi proclaimed it publicly last year.

Devanāgari is a beautiful and wonderful language and very scientific too. The phonetic sounds emanating from using the tongue touching or not touching the different parts of the oral cavity using expiration, is not fully explained by our teachers, maybe because young learners may find it tough and tedious to understand.

I'm at around the 14:00 minute mark. While I agree that the R of kRshna has changed in Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi and other languages, and it is because people were not aware of or taught how to pronounce it, there is no reason to not pronounce it accurately now. I am very curious about whether there will be an explanation for the pronunciation of V/W, because this is yet another very complex topic, especially for Indian speakers who mix up these sounds.
@@vatsalj7535 I just watched the other video, where they did briefly, discuss V/W, but I was disappointed by it. I have left a comment there with the details of why I didn't like their discussion of these sounds.
Regarding the R (ऋ) sound: What is "accurate pronunciation"? Language evolves and the right thing for us to do is to move with the times. So "ri" is the correct pronunciation in Hindi, "ru" is the correct pronunciation in Marathi, and what we talked about in the video is the correct pronunciation in Sanskrit.
@@TheFutureIQ I agree that languages evolves, and sounds change. But I disagree with writing ऋ and pronouncing it as RI or RU. I believe that our ancestors understood language and linguistics brilliantly, and took great care in devising a writing system that is phonetic. If you want to pronounce ऋ as RI or RU in Hindi/Marathi/Gujarati, then write it as RI or RU, not ऋ. Many Indian people ridicule English for its crazy writing system, which does not match the pronunciation of the language. And then, we Indians are doing the same with our language, by writing something one way, and pronouncing it as another. Aren't we then guilty of starting to create the same problem as in English? I'm not here to bash you or anything, but to make my opinion known. I adore logic, and will always stand on the side of things being logical.

Because duolingo doesn't teach you anything. Buy a Hindi textbook and use it. That will help more than Duolingo. Also, find a native speaker of Hindi who can talk to you in Hindi fluently, so that you can get in actual Hindi practice and perhaps learn some more "slang-y" terms and constructions which might not be in a textbook.

Indian languages are sound based languages that's why ancient indians kept the knowledge intact as it is by remembering the sound patterns. And that's why in hindu dharm recital and pronunciation of mantras are important. We are proud of our ancient culture. they were so scientific. The world knows about mathematical power of ancient indians.
A great feeling to go through your views!

This was where my Khmer language originated from Sanskrit from Northern India. Used to written on the Angkor Walls. The same sounds but more like Telugu written form.🥰🥰 I tried to make connection to where the origin of the linguistic of my Khmer alphabetic came from. Now, I am more enlightened that Sanskrit was our based mother tongue. Beautiful! 👏Thank you for making the sounds of the Sanskrit for me to hear.🙏

A kannada teacher was newly appointed to us in our 10th Standard (SSLC). In his first class, he asked us to write the Kannada Aksharamaale (Varnamaala) and Gunitakshara (Barakadi), And their pronunciations. 🤔This left us shocked and confused.😱 We wondered why this new teacher was making SSLC students write the syllabus of kinder Garden. We even worried whether we would pass Kannada in SSLC.😬
However, we were in for a surprise. 🤔Without us realizing it, he was reprogramming our minds to shift our focus from merely learning a subject to truly Understand and Realizing the language. In just a few months, he helped us grasp the grammar of the past nine years of study. As shocking as that first class was, our final exam results were equally astonishing, with many students scoring above 90% in Kannada.😎
He was, and still is, more than a teacher to me - A true Guru who continues to inspire me even today. I'm deeply grateful & forever indebt to him🙏. His name is C. V. RANGASHETTY.👼
Love it! A good teacher is so rare to find!
Please give my best to Mr. Rangashetty! 🙏

Tamil has this interesting classification as well.
1) Val inam - Hard group - ka, ca, ta, tha, pa & Ra(ற) --> 1st column of Devnagari; In Devnagari each of these letters have Chathurvarga(four variations). Tamil grammar says it comes from the air that hits the throat.
2) Mel inam - Soft group - nga, nya, Na, nha(ந), ma & na(ன) --> Last column of Devnagari; These letters are called Udanpadu mei aka letters that come in conjunction with Hard group letters respectively(Similar to what you explained in maNdal). Tamil grammar says it comes from the air that hits the nose tip(top of the nose between eyes).
3) Idai Inam - Intermediate group - ya, ra(ர), la(ல), va, zha(ழ), La(ள) --> Following row after the above classification of Devnagari. Tamil grammar says they are inbetween the hard and soft.
In addition, we add another group -
4) Grantha letters (to represent Vadasol/ Northern words ie., Sanskrit) --> Next row in Devnagari
sha(ஷ), Sha(ஶ), sa(ஸ), ha(ஹ) and also ja(ஜ - represents 3rd and 4th varga of cha), xa(க்ஷ-ksha), ஸ்ரீ (only for shree; no shra, shraa, shri, shru , shruu, shre, shrae, shrai, shro and all)
In Tamil, the chathur varga is pronounced in its natural flow mostly when soft group letter adjoins with hard group letter.
Examples:
Anjanaa is a+ny+cha+naa (அ ஞ் ச னா) in Tamil. cha(ச) pronounced as ja(ஜ) here.
Mandalam is ma+N+ta+la+m (ம ண் ட ல ம்)in Tamil. ta(ட) pronounced as da here
There is lot lot more which I can explain. But I will stop here.
The systems had similarities or common origins or in someway transactional of their methods.
Note -
Special letters in Tamil:
1) Ra(ற)
2) na(ன) - Difference exists in writing only. Pronunced same as ந(nha).
3) zha(ழ)
4) q(ஃ) pronunced as 'hh' - Aaytham; This is rarely used. But in modern day we find it useful to represent Persian Za and Pha in muslim names by simply adding ஃ in front of ja and pa respectivly.
Example: Manzil is ma+n+ஃ(q)+ji+l. Fahadh is q(ஃ)+pa+ha+th.
The same thing was taught to us in Hindi classes.
Ka, kha, ga,gha Na comes from throat.
Cha, kcha, ja, jha, comes from teeth movements

I am being as a Thamizhan i can tell bravely thamizh is the first language after combined with sanskrit several indian language came in chain reaction made by your favorite parpans or ariyans in order to destroy thamizhs culture
00:33 I was taught well at home and I pronounce the sounds ङ & ञ perfectly well. However, the pronunciation of ऋ & क्ष has to be adapted according to the language spoken whether it is Marathi, Hindi, Nepali, Sindhi or Sanskrit.
I'm just 4 minutes into the video, but I'm loving it! I have for trying to explain these very things to people for years and years, because most of my own Indian friends have no idea why the sounds of our languages are arranged and written the way they are. When he put his hand on his voicebox, to explain unvoiced versus voiced consonants, I just knew this guy knows his stuff. This is exactly how I explain the difference. These concepts exist in other Indo-European languages too, but they are equally blind to these ideas until someone explains it to them. They explain why there's an N in coNtest, but an M in coMpound. N goes with T, and M goes with P. You see this clearly in the arrange of the Devanagari alphabet, but it is not at all obvious in the Latin script. Let me watch the rest of the video, and maybe I'll add more comments.
You are forgetting that the classification is based the source from where the sound originates like कण्ठ्य, दन्त्य, तालव्य, मूर्धन्य, ओष्ठ्य. Also sub classification like कठोर and कोमल. While grouping two adjacent columns you could have mentioned this difference of कठोर, कोमल.

The R sound of kRishna is not there in Tamil as you were telling though.. In Tamil we write Krishna as "Kirushna" (K becomes Ki because according to Tamil grammar rules first letter of any word shouldn't start with a plain consonant sound, but while saying the "i" sound won't be stretched, it would be very subtle).. infact even 'sh','h','j','s' sound doesn't naturally exist in Tamil, they were later adopted into the script as "northern" letters after influence of sanskrit..highly suggest you to do a video on Tamil sounds and grammar too, would be really interesting
Actually name ‘Northern Letters' for ஷ,ஸ,ஜ,ஹ letters is also a later adoption, they were originally called ‘Granthaksharam’
'h' sound belonging is subjective. Because I have heard many dialects in central and south TN which pronounce the nga as ha like varanga as vararha.. Dialect differences but still h is not foreign to tamil. g and h are somewhat replaceable. H letter is adopted from Sanskrit but not H sound

There is no native script for Sanskrit. Sanskrit was a purely oral language without any written script. Even renowned grammar books and religious epics were composed orally and memorised. When other Indian languages had written scripts, even then Sanskrit remained unwritten oral language. When eventually it was put in writing, the Brahmi script was used for many centuries. Using Devanagari script for writing Sanskrit came much later. So equating Devanagari script with Sanskrit is incorrect
Hmm
But devanagri is the most beautiful script I've seen. Each letter is so unique.
@@TKInternational76Have you seen Kannada and Indonesian?

you missed how many urban hindi speakers don't exactly know the correct pronunciation of the alphabet 'फ' (pha) they always pronounce it as 'फ़' (fa)
here are some hindi words that originated from sanskrit and their correct pronunciation
e.g: it's phool not fool
it's phir not fir
it's saphalta not safalta
it's phatna not fatna
it's phailna not failna
ps: hindi is derived from sanskrit which doesn't have any 'fa' sounding word. but urdu words like 'fauji' 'farz' 'sirf' 'fursat' and 'faltu' are pronounced different.
In Telugu also same as this
Hindi is derived from khadi boli. The 'fa' sound us negligible there. It's very tatbhav heavy. Sanskrit based tatram words are additions in standard Hindi along with additional sounds like 'fa' to allow speaking persian loan words in a "pure" way. And similar other things are there too.

Sanskrit meanwhile is at the start of the Vedic age which is around 2500 BC when the right Veda was first composed. But since it mentions Kabul and swat in Afghanistan and northern Pakistan which is now considered a foreign land, it's history is probably much older.
And it's the mother of all Aryan languages.
Don't bring the script into the discussion as the word brahmi (mother of all Indic scripts) is also most probably of Sanskrit origin
@@monishbeck3859 first of all you should know before the vedic period india had people example indus valley civilization, it has a script which is similar to the script found in TN in the recent archeological survey. Please check that out. Also at one point in history before the Aryans came, Tamizh was the language spoken in all of india. (READ Dr. BR AMBEDKAR speeches and writings). The sanskrit word Dravida is coming from the prakrit word Damila which is the word used for the Tamils. We should not be having this debate coz, it's now well established that Tamizh is older than sanskrit. Even PM Modi proclaimed it publicly last year.
If something is explained in beautiful and interesting way we can make someone believe anything . Thats how I feel when I watch this video. Your justification that Sanskrit is monther of all launguage is great. If it is such a great language may I know why it isn't spoken, except very few groups......
Wonderful podcast!
Tami has a phonetic alphabet.
Each alphabet is distinguishable.
Tamil and Devanagari are both not up to mark, Devanagari is better, others are better.
One has to distinguish between letter and alphabet.
But does Tamil have different alphabet for cha and SA and ja ?
@@sainadh7These two are letters not alphabets of Tamil. An alphabet ( वर्ण माला) of a script is made up of letters (अक्षर). English alphabet written in the Roman script has 26 letters like a, b, c....
@@rajendersharma1334 yes that's right. But I was expecting an answer to my question.
Looks like in this particular subject, you were not really taught in your childhood the right way which are basic things we learnt. So now that you realized it became mind blowing.
Kannada is also scientifically perfect language ❤.
Most scientific language
bro i am kannadiga myself, No language on this Earth is Scientific not even English which runs the whole of Science and Technology
Sanskrit is the besis for kannadakke kooda
Kannada is unique rich
I agree...but many people still don't know that Kannada language exists and it matches 99.9 % with Sanskrit .
Enjoyed this video a lot.
Maybe you can throw light on "Sanskrit is written and Prakrit is spoken." Or it maybe the other way round.
We have taught it like दंतव्य वर्ण, ओष्ठय वर्ण, तालव्य वर्ण.... It was ईसयर to understand
Informative as well as entertaining also...
Excellent 👌
Thank you

All the sounds of Devanagari is still used in Odia language and the jukstakhyaras are out of this world
Surprisingly informative!
Very informative video, very much liked it.
On a lighter note, kya din aa gye hai hindi ko bhi english me sikhna pd rha hai😅
Thanks for liking it. Channel hi English videos ka hai. Isliye English me - Team FIQ
Studied these concepts in 8th-9th standard Assamese grammar. Letters are written differently but concepts are quite the same.
Sir your video is really amazing. Wish teachers taught this way
Navin Kabra's videos are brilliant and insightful. This fascinating episode explores the sophisticated structure of the Sanskrit alphabet, its periodic table-like organization, and its systematic approach to sound production. A must-watch for language and science enthusiasts!💡
Thanks for the kind words!

षड्यंत्र को समझिए
आयुर्वेद मानेंगे तो संस्कृत को मानना पड़ेगा, संस्कृत मानेंगे तो सनातन को मानना पड़ेगा, सनातन मानेंगे तो हिन्दू धर्म को मानना पड़ेगा, इसलिए आयुर्वेद का विरोध हो रहा है ..!!
ग़लत जानकारी
आयुर्वेद संकलन है ईजाद नहीं
देश में आयुर्वेद की कई पद्धतियों को माननेवाले बिना आयुर्वेद पुस्तक के ज्ञान होते हुए भी वो सभी प्रक्रिया कर रहे हैं । और ये वो समाज हैं जो न ही आर्य, न वैदिक न संस्कृत से सम्बंध रखती हैं
आयुर्वेदिक चिकित्सा पद्धति के बहुत सारे हिस्से आयुर्वेद पुस्तक से हज़ारों साल पुरानी हैं, शायद सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता से भी पुराने । तो उन्हें जानने के लिए संस्कृत की बिल्कुल भी आवश्यकता नहीं है ।
Devanāgari is a beautiful and wonderful language and very scientific too. The phonetic sounds emanating from using the tongue touching or not touching the different parts of the oral cavity using expiration, is not fully explained by our teachers, maybe because young learners may find it tough and tedious to understand.
There are several other letters that is used in Sanskrit and some other languages like marāthi, Tamil, konkani etc. For example, ळ ॡ ढ़ ॠ etc. Phonetically not so easy to pronounce but carries a lot of significance.
Devanagari is a script not language
Devanagari is not a language 🤦🏼♂️
True, my mistake. Sanskrit is the bhāshā and devanāgari is the lipi.

I went to a convention but came to realise these before myself.
Kannada the rich scientifically perfect language with its own beautiful perfect script.
Ta tha da dha na row vowels were found in Telugu until last century.
Oh... Any idea why they went away?
@@TheFutureIQ Due to difficulty in usage and alternative pronunciations for the existing words using common sounds. Also, to begin with there were very few words with those sounds. Vowel La sounds
@@TheFutureIQbecause they weren't actually existing sounds in pure telugu or native telugu words, they been used for using sanskrit words eventually ppl come down to telugu and Sanskrit common sounds, there were other sounds that has no use in daily
@@invisible9299 But as a concept I have studied them in my Telugu classes in school. Long ago.
@@krishnaats7141 many sounds and words from different languages are now part of standard or modern telugu to cover all aspects irrespective of orgin
Kannada has the greatest number of alphabets than any Indian Languages. Any Indian word can be written and pronounced in Kannada exactly the same way it is pronounced in native Indian language.
I simply love your content!
Sanskrit name is from Tamil
Samaskriti Krit -> Script
Krit root word is Kirukkal (கிறுக்கல்)
I'm at around the 14:00 minute mark. While I agree that the R of kRshna has changed in Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi and other languages, and it is because people were not aware of or taught how to pronounce it, there is no reason to not pronounce it accurately now. I am very curious about whether there will be an explanation for the pronunciation of V/W, because this is yet another very complex topic, especially for Indian speakers who mix up these sounds.
Watch their last video, the one before this
@@vatsalj7535 I just watched the other video, where they did briefly, discuss V/W, but I was disappointed by it. I have left a comment there with the details of why I didn't like their discussion of these sounds.
Regarding the R (ऋ) sound: What is "accurate pronunciation"? Language evolves and the right thing for us to do is to move with the times. So "ri" is the correct pronunciation in Hindi, "ru" is the correct pronunciation in Marathi, and what we talked about in the video is the correct pronunciation in Sanskrit.
@@TheFutureIQ I agree that languages evolves, and sounds change. But I disagree with writing ऋ and pronouncing it as RI or RU. I believe that our ancestors understood language and linguistics brilliantly, and took great care in devising a writing system that is phonetic. If you want to pronounce ऋ as RI or RU in Hindi/Marathi/Gujarati, then write it as RI or RU, not ऋ. Many Indian people ridicule English for its crazy writing system, which does not match the pronunciation of the language. And then, we Indians are doing the same with our language, by writing something one way, and pronouncing it as another. Aren't we then guilty of starting to create the same problem as in English? I'm not here to bash you or anything, but to make my opinion known. I adore logic, and will always stand on the side of things being logical.
Such great explanation of the Hindi sounds. Thanks 🙏
I'm making sure that my children's hindi teachers get to see this podcast
Way older, the ONLY non-south classical lang ODIA also has. ळ
ଳ
The ONLY one to come from Sanskrit.
Shashtriya bhasha are old
My school teacher said using sh has to be instinctive and habit.
If you want to really know the different way to pronounce श स ष get to know Andhra Telugu person at e least 50+ years age and listen to him make the three sounds one after another , it’s not me but Gandhi was the first to notice and talk about this

you can read devnagri script mostly everywhere in india . Devnagari means:The Devanagari script, composed of 47 primary characters including 14 vowels and 33 consonants, is the fourth most widely adopted writing system in the world, being used for over 120 languages.
example: Apabhramsha, Awadhi, Bhili, Bhojpuri, Bodo, Braj, Chhattisgarhi, Dogri, Gujarati, Garhwali Haryanvi, Hindi, Hindustani, Kashmiri, Konkani,Kumaoni, Magahi, Maithili, Marathi, Marwari, Mundari, Newari, Nepali, Pāḷi, Pahari, Prakrit, Rajasthani, Sadri, Sanskrit, Santali, Saraiki, Sherpa, Sindhi, Surjapuri, and many more.
Because, you forced people to use devnagari in these respective languages. Bhojpuri has kaithi script, sanskrit has Brahmi script, Maithili has purbanagari script and Santali has olchiki script. Kashmiri has Nagari script and it's different from devanagari script.

Interested and in detail. My mother tongue, also feels familiar with these concepts and structures, even if it doesn't exist on Indian ground on now.
Hardcore hindus can't digest the fact that Sanskrit is a almost dead language
@@jharnarani6641 there is no language on the planet you can say it's a mother of all languages!
But arabic is the world's 5th biggest languages in the world! And also one of the six languages of United Nations!
It's live language,
Around 400 million across 25 countries speak Arabic. Moreover, over 1.5 billion people can read Arabic even if they can't understand the language!
Quran is in Arabic and it's compulsory for 2 BILLION Muslims of the world to read it at least once in a lifetime, soo we learn it to read and almost 75% of Muslims can read Quranic Arabic,
I am a Indian Muslim and I can Also read it but I don't understand
Only in speaking, but alive daily in prayers.
As long as the wind, the call of the bird, the barking of the dog, the ripple of the water, the rustling of the leaves and everything else in nature will exist, Sanskrit will exist. Because Sanskrit IS nature crystallised into an alphabet system.
But if you are happy thinking what you think, tathastu. :)
Every language is child of Sanskrit
Tamil is Different ❤
🫂🙋🏻♂️
All the languages are distinct, different and beautiful in their own ways.
Actually, there are 3 S sounds स, ष, श...! Was just wondering earlier today - what are the real pronunciation of ङ & ञ 🤔 it's true that, संस्कृत्य is the most scientific language & learning it has helped me to understand the grammatical structures & nuances of many other languages 💖💖💖
Sanskrit is DEAD so much for the perfect claim😂
No there are villages in India that still speaks sanskrit
you must be tamil, that's why crying
Sanskrit Grammar is still the greatest intellectual achievement in the field of Language studies . Basic principles on Sounds , AKSHARAs , SANDHIs , SAAMAS , and CASE Grammar are true for other languages .
