Ancient Languages - What Does Sanskrit Sound Like?

[@milonmitra3584]

Sanskrit originated from South India along with Tamil and Malayalam. It gradually spread along the eastern coastline to Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Bengal. From Bengal, it took the trade route towards the western part of India like UP, Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab. It further traveled up to Iran, and upward to Tibet and China.

@milonmitra3584 How did Sanskrit originate in South India? Please clarify.

Not really... It started taking shape somewhere in south Afghanistan or northern pakistan since it was brought to India by indo-aryans who originally come from somewhere close to the caspian sea

It was actually created by sages somewhere in central India, in order to create further hindu scriptures. Just like we create coding languages. That's why it is the most scientific language.

​​@@sreemanasdevarapalli9689No, that theory is also debunked on basis of genetic evidences. They still need to figure out linguistic evidences. Oldest inscription of sanskrit is from Arunachal Pradesh and oldest manuscript was found in cave in china.

Still the same Arian invasion rhetoric. The Rig Ved, shows a east to west migration, rather than a west to east.

The Sanskrit word for south, "dakshin", is cognate to the Latin "dextrus" meaning "right" If you went east to west, would south be on your left or right?

@@msalabs9883 I don't understand, what do you trying to get at? In Sanskrit however, the etymology of words are not borrowed, hence very original. When you face the rising sun, your right hand is at the direction of the south. Henceforth, Dakshin is right, and also south. It has a deep cultural significance.

​@@msalabs9883According to this logic indeed migration of language happened east to west.

@@debasissarkar7287 I never said the words were borrowed. I said they were cognate

Tamil is the oldest language in the world. Its 5000 years older than Sanscrit. If you do your research, homework in the right way you will understand the ground reality.
