The Hindu tradition might be said to begin in the 4th century bc when the growth and separation of Buddhism and Jainism provided it with a distinctive sense of identity as sanātana dharma.
The Hindu tradition encourages Hindus to seek spiritual and moral truth wherever it might be found, while acknowledging that no creed can contain such truth in its fullness and that each individual must realize this truth through his or her own systematic effort.

Jesus, the living apparition of the goodness of God and of His paternal love, Jesus infinitely loving and amiable, studied in the principal manifestations of His love, is the object of the devotion to the Sacredb> Heart, as indeed He is the object of the Christian religion.

A visible heart is necessary for an image of the Sacredb> Heart, but this visible heart must be a symbolic heart.

NITLE Arab World Project

The "origin myth" of vernacular languages is in the realm of humans (however mythologized and romanticized), whereas sacredb> languages have divine origins.
The language that all Arabs share is Classical Arabic, not the local "dialects" that are different and therefore "divisive."9 Pan-Arabism's explicit efforts in defining an Arab as anyone who speaks "Arabic" as a native language was meant to remove religion and race as bases of an Arab identity.
Most classical languages have by now disappeared: Sanskrit came to be replaced by the local regional languages of India, and Latin eventually gave way to the European vernaculars, generation by generation, genre by genre, and domain by domain until even the Vatican stopped requiring it to be the language of prayers.

Jesus, the living apparition of the goodness of God and of His paternal love, Jesus infinitely loving and amiable, studied in the principal manifestations of His love, is the object of the devotion to the Sacredb> Heart, as indeed He is the object of the Christian religion.
Now this heart of flesh is currently accepted as the emblem of the emotion and moral life with which we associate it, and hence the place assigned to the word heart in symbolic language, as also the use of the same word to designate those things symbolized by the heart.

Persian Language

Other Iranian languages of note are Old Persian and Avestan (the sacredb> language of the Zoroastrians for which texts exist from the 6th century B.C.).
Dari Persian, mainly spoken in Afghanistan, until recently, deferred to the Tehran standard as its model, and although there are clear phonological and morphological contrasts, due partly to the influence of neighbouring Turkic languages, Farsi and Dari Persian remain quite similar.
Old Persian is attested from the cuneiform inscriptions left by the Achaemenid dynasty (559 to 331 BC.) that ruled the lands known as the Realm of the Aryans (from which comes the name of the modern country Iran) up until the conquest of Alexander the Great.

Persian Literature, an English article

The Old Persian of the Achaemenian Empire, preserved in a number of cuneiform inscriptions, was an Indo-European tongue with close affinities with Sanskrit and Avestan (the language of the Zoroastrian sacredb> texts).
In India, Persian language and poetry became the vogue with the ruling classes, and at the court of the Moghul emperor Akbar Persian was adopted as the official language; spreading thence and fusing later with Hindi, it gave rise to the Urdu tongue.
To the west of Iran, Persian heavily influenced the language and literature of Turkey; Turkish verse was based on Persian models as regards form and style, and borrowed an extensive vocabulary.
