List of all Prakrits and their region: 1. Magadhi Pkt and Pali : Eastern UP, Bihar, Bengal and Odisha. Considered a "high" Prakrit. 2. Ardhamagadhi Pkt : Awadh (Central UP) and possibly Eastern MP 3. Shauraseni Pkt : Eastern Punjab, Haryana, Western UP, Braj and Bundelkhand. Modern Rajasthani and Gujarati are likely influenced from Maharashtri Prakrit from olden times. Was considered a "high" Prakrit. 4. Vrachad Pkt : Sindh (there is some debate over this one). It is possible that this Prakrit went extinct and Sindhi evolved as a confluence between Shauraseni and Gandhari Prakrits. 5. Maharashtri Pkt : Maharashtra and greater Konkan coast. Historically it was spoken North of Narmada as well. Was considered a "high" Prakrit. 6. Kamarupi Pkt : Assam and North Bengal. Went extinct, modern Assamese is possibly a confluence of Bengali and Tibeto-Burman languages. 7. Elu Pkt : Sri Lanka. No comments in this one. 8. Gandhari Pkt : Western Punjab and Kashmir, though Kashmiri (and possibly Pashto as well) evolved separately from Punjabi from Turkic conquest onwards. Considered a "high" Prakrit and very close to standard Sanskrit. 9. Khasa Pkt : Garhwal, Kumaun and Nepal. Possibly a "high" Prakrit as well. 10. Paishachi Pkt: Himachal Pradesh and Jammu. Went extinct.

Hello. Around 1:53 you said certain Rig Vedic hymns contain words seemingly from Prākrit, and from that the deduction is made that Prākrit and Vedic Sanskrit were different languages. Is it not possible we are dealing with diglossia rather than two separate languages? By their names we can say that the difference in Sanskritabhāshā and Prākritabhāshā is that the former is meant to be proper speech while the latter is the colloquial speech, can we not? Would that really be different from saying textbook English is the same language as colloquial English?

Isn't the so-called "pure" or "refined" form of any language derived from the commoner's tongue? Like standard Bengali or Hindi that we know today were artificially produced by certain universities out of many common languages. Scholarly languages are unlikely to predate commoner's natural languages.

@@aritrabhattacharyya8797 Hello and thank you for your reply! What you said is correct. Refinement of a language by the means of standardization, structuring, and enumeration of the lexical and grammatical rules is what creates the refined, or Samskrta, form of a language. Textbook Bangla or Hindi or English is postulated in such ways. My point was not to say that the refined form predates the colloquial form, but rather that there was a gap in the reasoning provided as to why the refined form can be deduced to be a different language and not just a case of diglossia. After all, textbook Bangla existing at the same time as colloquial Bangla doesn't automatically prove that they are different languages. Also I would like to point out the confusion that exists in our minds regarding terms like Prākrtabhāsha and Samskrtabhāsha. Prakrit and Sanskrit are generally referred to specific stages of the evolution of the language that, for the sake of understanding, may be called "bhāsha". Prākrit is what you see on the Ashokan pillars and texts like the Dhammapada. Vedic Sanskrit is seen in the Vedas and Classical Sanskrit is seen in texts like the Mahabharata. The video talks specifically about Prakrit, not just any colloquial form of bhāsha. Colloquial "Vedic Sanskrit" certainly would have existed before the Vedic Sanskrit, let alone the Classical Sanskrit, we see in textual form. But that is not the same as Prakrit. In summary, I agree that refined versions of languages come out of the colloquial versions, but that was not the point I was arguing. I was pointing out that the video doesn't explain why the co-existence of Vedic Sanskrit and Prakrit sounding terms in the Vedas prove that they are different languages altogether as opposed to diglossia. Also, I point out that Samskrta and Prakrta in reality appear to be adjectives to bhāsha rather than indicators of different languages similar to textbook English and colloquial English both being considered "English" rather than "English" and "not English". Please let me know if I've been able to put my points across clearly.

It was Prakrit but there were regional dialects. By the Medieval Period (middle Ages), these Prakrits evolved into various Apabhramsa which were ancestors of all North Indian Languages. Gujrati, Assamese, Bengali and Marathi were also evolved from Apabhramsa.

Sanskrit Vedic names like dussarat, inder appeared in mittani inscription as far as we know which dates back to 1400 BCE...But these names are found in later composed suktas of rig vedas ...And not in older hymns ..And only names of the kings appeared , though the language of local mittani people were different... Shrikant Talageri has analysed that some kings of Indian origin might have ruled mittani and by the time of 4-5th generation of (contemporary to mittani kingdoms) only the indian names remained in their memory while the Indian Origin royal families started speaking in local mittani languages...

Sanskrit is derived from Prakrit, the process is called as sanskritization of Prakrit. We find Dhamma word on Asoka's inscription say 250BCE, which changed into Dharma and find on Rudradaman's Girnar inscription in 150 CE, That means after 400 years later. One more thing when we say Vedic Sanskrit ,classical Sanskrit and all, we should not forget about Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit ( BHS ), also called as Prakrit influenced Sanskrit. These BHS inscriptions also find around 100BCE , this can be a transition period of sanskritisation. Even Rudradaman’s Sanskrit is not a classical Sanskrit, in fact we can called it as BHS, which sometimes use Prakrit words as it is and sometime sanskritised Prakrit words, it follows the Prakrit grammar and sometimes dose not use Visarga for singular masculine noun ! instead it use singular masculine noun grammer of Prakrit language , this changing over finds in Mahayana Buddhist lierature like Lalitvistara , mahavastuavadana etc. exclusively in Buddhist literature so there is space to say that Sanskrit is developed by Buddhist from 1st century BCE or CEC, although there is a need to study this.

@@prabarau2531 Different indian regional languages have been inter changing words among them, but that's not the point. The point is that Sanskrit is not a very old language, because historical proofs are saying so. Sanskrit was formed in Buddhist universities in and around Gupta period, but the Vedic literature and idolater sect literature like Ramayana, Mahabharata etc. were written for the first time after invention of Devnagri script in 10th century AD. That means the written form of these Sanskrit books is only 1000 years old.

@@B-Raja no.. Sanksrit is the only pure language in the world without hvng any other language words or dialects. That means Sanksrit is the oldest language in the world. All the other languages in the world excluding Sanskrit hvng some mixture of other language. Every language in the world hv mixture of Sanksrit including English, Swedish etc. This is the clear proof that Sanksrit is the oldest language in the world.

@@prabarau2531 You are saying so because you don't know much about Sanskrit. Sanskrit has many words from local languages also, and these words are called "Pratipadik". But that's not the question Each language of the world has foreign words. The point or the question is, when were the Sanskrit Granthas first written ??

I believe Prakrit was originated in Sri Lanka. Sinhala was derived from Prakrit and according to Ramayanaya language spoken in Sinhaladeepa is much older than Indian languages. Found Prakrit pottery inscriptions of Salgahawatta archeological excavation Anuradhapura was the oldest evidence of Prakrit language. And in tiny island of Sri Lanka has an amount of 50000 Prakrit inscriptions which is bit less than 3/4 of total inscriptions in all languages found in India.

Singhalas migrated from Bihar, hence it is obvious that they spoke sort of Magadhi Prakrit. Earlier Language of Sri Lanka was different. Quite different from Dravid and Indo Aryan family.
