This sounds interesting - I've always been envious of people with a strong linguistic predilection. Most Europeans can speak two, three or more languages by the time they get to elementary school. Have you ever considered learning Tibetan?
According to the Surveyor General of India there are no Asokan Pillars with Sanskrit inscriptions. This leads historians to believe that Sanskrit was not a spoken language at the time of the Buddhist King (2th century B.C.). Also, there is no evidence the Sanskrit language was used in the Indus Valley Civilization. Nowadays hardly anyone can read, write or understand Sanskrit - it's a dead language, you know what I mean? It may be that Sanskrit was never a spoken language. It's not found on any Ashokan pillars and in fact, at the time the Rig Veda was compiled, Sanskrit may have been spoken by fewer than 100 Vedic priests. There may be fewer than 10 real Sanskrit pandits in all of India today - it a dying art. We live near two of the largest Hindu temples outside India, and hardly anyone there understands a word of Sanskrit, but many Indians in Houston know how to program computers using a structured query language or SQL. The trick is to create a dynamic link for output - anyone can turn a switch on and off. Go figure. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <hepa7@...> wrote : Learning Biblical Hebrew (Intermediate Part 5) June 29th, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eiz2W-6jl5g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eiz2W-6jl5g Learning Biblical Hebrew (Intermediate Part 5) June ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eiz2W-6jl5g Mark Jacob goes over the basics of the Hebrew language.
