Sanskrit Latin and third language r 3 basic languages I think there must be one common mother tongue of these 3 also lingua franca so like computer languages these languages must be simple as possible biggest problem of sanskrit is that 4000 rules of Panini made sanskrit toughest

not true. sanskrit is actually easiest to learn if taught properly. it is also the most unambiguous language, and accepted widely as the language most directly suitable for computer programming.

SANSKRIT is the mother of languages hence it should be learnt by all. Knowing more languages is definetly to the adavantage. No should be stopped from learning other languages though.

Why only Sanskrit and not Tamil?
by SivaSankaran Sarma on Nov 23, 2014 10:45 AM

Why only all this attention to Sanskrit by the Indian government and not to Tamil that is India's most ancient and other classical language. That has also equally influenced all modern Indian languages Indian culture and the Hindu religion. Modern Indian culture and the Hindu religion is more than 75% Dravidian. Even most Indians are Dravidian. They may not speak Dravidian but largely Dravidian by race. So one treatment for Sanskrit and another for Tamil. This smacks of selective cultural and imagined racial superiority by certain sections of the ruling elite, to praise one Indian classical language and completely ignore the other

Sanskrit is the base language from which all other languages are
by rajkishoredash on Nov 23, 2014 10:26 AM  | Hide replies

Now a days science has proved that the best language for computers is only sanskrit. And its the fake dependent mentality imposed on Indians by the ancient foreign rulers that foreign language is best for development. If so then how Japan has prospered ahead adopting Japanese language as the medium of study in their country? How China prospers where chinese language is given priority? So its the real time for we Indians to come out of that illusion that any foreign language can make us to prosper. Rather the ancient sanskrit language only has the potency to make a powerful education system enabling us to lead the world which we have forgotten. Its the right time to start now.

Sanskrit is not the base language for all languages. Who told you this? It is only the base language for Indo Aryan languages. The base languages for other Indo European languages is not Sanskrit but others. The base language for Dravidian languages is old/classical Tamil. Sanskrit has borrowed quite as much from Dravidian as Dravidian has from Sanskrit. Tamil has borrowed more words from Sanskrit than Sanskrit has from Dravidian. It is a trivial thing for a language to borrow vocabulary. But when it uses another language's syntax to form the way it expresses things, and uses another language's phonology for its sounds, that is really profound influence. The fact is, Sanskrit HAS been influenced in this way by Dravidian. Of course, some Dravidian languages have also borrowed Sanskrit sounds (bh, etc.) But none of the four Dravidian languages I have read has borrowed anything from Sanskrit syntax . Much of the syntax of Sanskrit is Dravidian, and it has a large Dravidian vocabulary. Its system of phonetics is profoundly influenced by Dravidian -- Indo-Aryan is the only IE family with retroflexes.
The word Dravidian clearly comes from the word Tamil. This has been demonstrated time and time again -- the earliest occurrences of the word in IA are dramiDa ==> draviDa.

What is modern India is an artificial creation of the British, that was made up of many former kingdoms and empires, that spoke many languages and cultures. If you want to maintain this unity then stop imposing certain languages or language on others falsely in the name of national unity. It is not national unity but smacks of selective racial cultural imperialism, just like the British did. People will learn languages that they feel, is useful to them in their work communication and studies. Do not forcibly impose languages on others in the name of majorities, culture of religion it will never work and people will rebel

Well..

Any subject not having much relevance for Livelihood or survival should be optional only, in long term it’s good for maintaining peace and harmony in Society.

After becoming expert in Sanskrit, what Carrier option do people have? Other than becoming priest in marriages or other Hindu ceremonies and read from holy books written in Sanskrit.

How many Brahmins, who can read holy Sanskrit books, does the Society need to function properly? Too much off them might create trouble.

I studied Sanskrit as a basic subject from class 6 to 8, I think that much knowledge is enough to raise doubt and start my personal research, in case an expert Brahmin try to make fool of me while translating from a holy Sanskrit book during a religious ceremony.
