A Guide to Learning Sanskrit

When we are thinking about Artificial Intelligent Systems (AIs), one of the first things we might want to ask is “what is Sanskrit?” Indeed, there have been many attempts over the years to classify a language into two major categories. One group has focused on how well the pronunciation and spelling of a word are related to the rest of the language. A second group has looked at the rules for writing the language. (This may be equally important for a Chinese language and a Hindi language, but it appears to be more important in Indian languages.)

Sanskrit is one of the most ancient languages of the world, and it contains words which have been recorded down from more than 6000 years ago. The modern version of Sanskrit is mostly written in Devanagari and has some regional dialects as well. Those who are interested in learning Sanskrit will have a number of tools at their disposal. The primary tools are: recordings of ancient text, which can often be found on the Internet; textbooks on learning Sanskrit, both general and the particular language of the language; and online programs based on ancient texts which will allow you to study the language interactively, reading and writing in both English and Sanskrit.

The rules for writing in Sanskrit, in contrast to any other ancient language, are less complicated. For this reason, Sanskrit learning exercises are much easier than those needed for other languages. The rules for phonetic pronunciation are quite simple. You will find that the rules of the Ancient Greek alphabet are the same everywhere (and also the rules of the Arabic alphabet for spoken words). The main thing to note is that all sounds, including the aspirated and silent stops, are regular.

The primary sources for learning Sanskrit are texts written in the Sanskrit language. However, while these texts can be very useful for your understanding of Sanskrit grammar, it might not be enough for you to actually write out the words or phrases you learn. Learning Sanskrit language pronunciation is therefore a good complement to your main study of the language. A number of books written on the roots or prefixes of Sanskrit root words are available at your local bookstore. If these texts do not appeal to you, there are a number of online resources available.

Artificial Intelligence Systems that once belonged to super intelligence projects now proliferate in the technology field. One of the most popular artificial intelligence project is that of mastering the rules for phonics, as used in Sanskrit. Phonics rules are a crucial part of any attempt at learning the Sanskrit language. There are a number of artificial intelligence systems, which are adept at learning the rules of Sanskrit and can be accessed online.

While any artificial intelligence system can be utilized to assist you in your studies of any language, none of these tools is as helpful as a Sanskrit learning software. These programs make use of a large number of advanced functions that help it tackle many Sanskrit texts from all over the world. It is also capable of recreating speech sounds of different Sanskrit dialects. Along with voice recognition, these programs are also equipped with image recognition, grammar enrichment, spell checker, full text search, and a large vocabulary bank. This means that while you sit down to read a particular Sanskrit text, the software can identify the right word or phrase from a database of up to 200 million words used in the spoken Sanskrit language.

Besides reading books and Sanskrit texts, another effective way of learning Sanskrit is by learning the art of chanting Sanskrit hymns. This not only teaches you how to chant hymns in a correct manner, but it also teaches you how to appreciate the beauty of chanting Sanskrit hymns through simple illustrations. This is why, upon learning this aspect of the language, many students also start learning the Sanskrit alphabet and Sanskrit alphabets and how to recognise them.

Learning Sanskrit also involves learning about the dos and don’t of the language also. Samskritha Bharathi is an organisation which has been promoting learning Sanskrit in a very big way globally.
