How to learn SANSKRIT?
To learn Sanskrit is to learn one of the great literary and religious languages of the world. It is the mother tongue of modern Hindi, Urdu and other South Asian languages. Part of the Indo-European language family, Sanskrit is more closely related to Greek, Latin and other European languages than its descendant languages. As such, it has many characteristics of European languages which may be familiar to native English speakers, or those who have studied a European language. Its system of verb conjugation is similar as well as some of its core vocabulary. There seem to be more and better resources to learn Sanskrit than there are for other, modern languages of South Asia.
