Sanskrit...I must congratulate you for your article. Sanskrit is the root language of all the Indian languages. Pali & Ardhamagadhi are actually local varients of the old spoken dialect of Sanskrit.<BR/><BR/>Another point is:<BR/>What you have done to the sentence"Everybodu should learn Sanskrit" is called TRANSLITERATION & not TRANSLATION. Transliteration means just to write the same sentence phoneatically using the letters from the other language. While translation for this sentence would have been "सर्वे संस्कृतं पठंतु" = sarve sanskritam pathhantu. It should be clear now. Also if you send me the correct pronunciation of your names i.e. the way theyt are actually spoken, I will write them for you in Sanskrit which you may copy paste to your blog.<BR/>All the best for your Ph.D. thesis & carrer.<BR/><BR/>Webmaster - Translations<BR/>http://freetranslationblog.blogspot.comKiran Paranjapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195478480042353119noreply@blogger.com
