About Learn Sanskrit- Speak Sanskrit

Sanskrit, an ancient and classical language of India, is the birthplace of the world's first-ever book, the Rigveda. The Vedas, ancient texts of profound wisdom, have been dated by various scholars spanning from 6500 B.C. to 1500 B.C. The evolution of Sanskrit, with its expressive capabilities, likely predates this period.

During the era of the Vedas, the language was spoken in various dialects and had some differences from the Sanskrit we know today. This form is referred to as Vedic Sanskrit. Each Veda had its own grammar book known as Pratishakhya, providing insights into word forms and grammatical intricacies.

As time passed, numerous schools of grammar emerged, contributing to the development of Sanskrit. This period also saw the flourishing of an extensive body of literature, including the Vedas, Brahmana-Granthas, Aranyakas, Upanishads, and Vedangas. Collectively, this treasure trove of knowledge is referred to as Vedic Literature, all penned in the language of Vedic Sanskrit.
