Re: Story of languages!
There is something special about Sanskrit alright. My own language has been classified as a classical language same as Sanskrit. The preconditions by the Govt to declare a language as a classical language is : High antiquity of its early texts/recorded history over a period of 1500-2000 years; A body of ancient literature/texts, which is considered a valuable heritage by generations of speakers; The literary tradition be original and not borrowed from another speech community; The classical language and literature being distinct from modern, there may also be a discontinuity between the classical language and its later forms or its offshoots" Having studied Sanskrit for 7 years, I can claim that no other language’s grammer is as structured, precise or mathematical as Sanskrit. It is considered by many as the worlds first spoken object-oriented language. I can’t but admire our Sanskrit speaking ancestors esp Panani whose grammatical rehaul of Sanskrit language is being used in metalinguistic formulas to describe the syntax of programming languages. So **yes, Sanskrit is special **and the first and only kind of this in the world
