| | India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Language, religion, and caste are major determinants of social and political organisation within the highly diverse Indian population today. | | | Most of these spring from Indian tradition (which is later called Hindu tradition) and are represented by sacred works like the Vedas and the epics of the Mahabharatha and Ramayana. | | | Two classical languages native to the land are Sanskrit and Tamil. |

| | History of Indian Languages |
| | Vedic Sanskrit, the language used in the Vedas, the sacred Hindu scriptures, is the earliest form of Sanskrit, dating from about 1500 BC to about 200 BC. | | | Pali, the language of the Buddhist canonical writings, is the oldest literary Prakrit. | | | Linguists consider the Munda languages to be related to the Mon-Khmer languages of Southeast Asia in a larger grouping called the Austro-Asiatic family. |

| | Etymology of Selected Words of Indian Language Origin |
| | Pali is used as the liturgical and scholarly language of Theravada Buddhism, as Buddhism first originated in Bihar, India. | | | Sanskritic, is a completely dead language today, but Sanskrit and Pali, which are the two languages surviving from ancient times, are important even today: Sanskrit is the classical language of India and Hinduism, in which most scriptures (Veda Grantha), epics (Mahabharata, Bhagavat Gita) and ancient literature is written. | | | Hence it is ironical that many Indian words, mainly from Sanskrit and Persian, were absorbed into the English language during the British colonial rule in India, known as the British Raj. |

| | Indian Literature |
| | The Indian literary tradition is primarily one of verse and is also essentially oral. | | | Work by two other great 20th-century Indian leaders and writers is also widely known: the verse of the Islamic leader and philosopher Sir Muhammad Iqbal, originally written in Urdu and Persian; and the autobiography of Mohandas K. Gandhi, My Experiments with Truth, originally written in Gujarati between 1927 and 1929, is now considered a classic. | | | The only Indian writings that incontestably predate the influence of classical Sanskrit are those in the Tamil language. |

| | In the efforts to replace English words and phrases with Indian ones, reformers looked mainly to Sanskrit, though India is home to another ancient language family, the Dravidian, which exists almost exclusively in southern India, though pockets of Dravidian languages survive in the Northern parts of India and western Pakistan. | | | In regards to the vocabulary of these languages, Zograf notes a heavy influence of Sanskrit on the vocabularies of New IA languages. | | | Classical Sanskrit follows this and provides a highly standardized language preserved in grammatical works, the most famous being "Paniniís" of the fourth century BC. |
