The Sanskrit Dialect Known as English

In western curriculum there is a tendency to exclude Sanskrit

as a root to the English language. Numbers and alphabet are

categorized as Roman or Arabic. There is however recognition

of the Indo- Aryan or Indo European language group which

Sanskrit is admittedly an elder member.

 

 

How important is the role of Sanskrit in regards to world

languages and in this case English, possibly the most

dominant language in the modern world?

 

It is imperative to note that the English language, except

for the current written alphabet,is as close to ancient Sanskrit

as Hindi, Bengali or any other dialect from India.

And yes,English Numerals are Sanskrit not Arabic or Roman.

 

It is helpful to understand that many English words

have no intrinsic denominator without application or

aid of Sanskrit.

 

 

The compound word San-Skrit, San; meaning whole, equal,

complete, total or amount and Skrit; meaning script, scribe etc.

Thus reveals the common basis and subtle collusion

of English words to be non different than Sanskrit

I.E. San ; Sum, some,syn, same, sane, saint etc. all these

English words meaning either whole, total, equal or even.

 

 

To opine that in time Sanskrit developed

its refined status from a earlier more crude form of the

Indo-European or other language family is herein questionable

due to the vivid, concise depth of Sanskrit Syllabary

and antiquated references

 

An example is given that the Name for the human race "Man"

has come from "Manu"( Manoah,Noah, Nuh) The "Manvantara"

descendant from the Viviswan the Solar deity.

 

The word "Man" has no sufficient origins given in English.

According to Vedic chronology the story of Manu stretches

so far into antiquity that it no longer finds cohesive analogy

in English literature, except perhaps in form of the

Biblical story of Noah.

 

In United States of America We have no Monarchy (Manu-Archa)

so the title "King" can only refer to periods and places where

where it actually did or currently exist, such as The "Queen"

of England. Yet we still use the word "King and Queen" in

North America, because in the past it was used frequently

in reference to actual monarchy.

 

 

Even though there are no lions in England the Kings where

still known as lion hearted. Coats of arms often portrayed

Lions

attributing the qualities of the lions to the kings such as

courage, strength, chivalry, genorosity and resourcefulness.

 

The old English spelling of King is "Cing" As in ancient

Sanskrit

apellation King, Cing, Singh, Simha or Simbha(swahili )

for lion meaning Powerful Chief or leader.

 

The English language, full of such descendants perceived

directly

in relation to its sister dialects, Hindiand Bengali is no

further

remote from Sanskrit. Apparently Sansrkit similarly

supplies integral structure and identifying roots of English.

 

Could the very word "Sanskrit" claim what it may well be a

"Samskrit" or "complete alphabet" of a universal

language originating from the subtlemost realm of

consciouness?

 

Even Proffesor Max Mueller had to acknowledge the greatness of

the

Devanagari script admitting its very perfection and realizing

its antecedent superiority. Vedic Sanskrit of Ancient India

very possibly may contain the "perfect" contributing

factor providing spiritual and metaphysical roots and

reason

to many branches of global languages.

Dear Mr Robinson,

 

Is this abstract a (clever) joke? It has caused much discussion on

the Indo-European Forum, starting at

cybalist/message/13994

 

Yours faithfully,
