Computational linguistics There have been suggestions to use Sanskrit as a  metalanguage  for knowledge representation in e.g.  machine translation , and other areas of  natural language processing  because of its relatively high regular structure. [61]  This is due to Classical Sanskrit being a regularised,  prescriptivist  form abstracted from the much more complex and richer  Vedic Sanskrit .

Influence on other languages Indic languages Sanskrit's greatest influence, presumably, is that which it exerted on  languages of India  that grew from its vocabulary and grammatical base; for instance,  Hindi  is a "Sanskritised register" of the Khariboli dialect . However, all modern  Indo-Aryan languages , as well as  Munda  and  Dravidian languages , have borrowed many words either directly from Sanskrit ( tatsama  words), or indirectly via middle Indo-Aryan languages ( tadbhava  words). [6]  Words originating in Sanskrit are estimated to constitute roughly fifty percent of the vocabulary of modern Indo-Aryan languages, [53]  and the literary forms of (Dravidian)  Malayalam  and  Kannada . [6]   Literary  texts in Telugu are  lexically  Sanskrit or Sanskritised to an enormous extent, perhaps seventy percent or more. [54] Sanskrit is recognised as a storehouse of scripture and as t...

Grammar Main article:  Sanskrit grammar Grammatical tradition Main article:  Sanskrit grammarians Sanskrit grammatical tradition ( vyākaraṇa , one of the six  Vedanga  disciplines) began in late  Vedic India  and culminated in the  Aṣṭādhyāyī  of  Pāṇini , which consists of 3990 sutras ( ca.  5th century BCE). About a century after  Pāṇini  (around 400 BCE) Kātyāyana composed Vārtikas on Pāṇinian sũtras.  Patañjali , who lived three centuries after Pāṇini, wrote the  Mahābhāṣya , the "Great Commentary" on the  Aṣṭādhyāyī  and Vārtikas. Because of these three ancient  Sanskrit grammarians  this grammar is called  Trimuni Vyākarana . To understand the meaning of sutras Jayaditya and Vāmana wrote the commentary named Kāsikā 600 CE. Pāṇinian grammar is based on 14  Shiva  sutras (aphorisms). Here whole Mātrika ( alphabet ) is abbreviated. This abbreviation is called Pratyāhara...

Writing system Kashmiri   Shaivaite  manuscript in the Sharada script  (c. 17th century) This article is about how Sanskrit came to be written using various systems. For details of Sanskrit as written using specifically Devanāgari, see Devanagari . Sanskrit was spoken in an oral society, and the oral tradition was maintained through the development of early classical  Sanskrit literature . [43]  Writing was not introduced to India until after Sanskrit had evolved into the Prakrits; when it was written, the choice of writing system was influenced by the regional scripts of the scribes. Therefore, Sanskrit has no native script of its own. [2]  As such, virtually all of the major writing systems of South Asia have been used for the production of Sanskrit manuscripts. Since the late 19th century,  Devanagari  has become the  de facto  standard writing system for Sanskrit publication, [44]  quite possibly because of the Eu...
