There's a Tibetan and Indian diaspora in Texas. Also,

Apparently the earliest epigraphic evidence on languages
employed in India comes from the inscriptions of Asoka
inscribed in third century B.C.

"Asoka took care that his messages were intelligible to
all and he used a particular kind of Prakrit. Even more
remarkable is the fact, which has been recently
discovered, that for those people who at the time lived
in Afghanistan, his message was given in Greek as well
as Aramaic.

One of the Greek inscriptions is a translation of the
Kalinga Edict, and the Greek of the inscriptions is not
inferior in style to the classical Greek of Greek
literature. In such circumstances neglect of Sanskrit
by Asoka, if the language was in use, would be contrary
to all his practice."

http://www.angelfire.com/al/appiusforum/sanskrit.html


So, the absence of Sanskrit in his inscriptions
indicates that it did not exist at that time, as
otherwise he would have certainly used it.

According to Chaudhuri, "...before Christ in India there
were many foreign invasions which introduced many foreign
languages. These mixing with the early Indian languages
led to what is often called a Prakrit which was diverse
in nature. There was a confusion of languages, and this
led Indian scholars to develop Sanskrit which borrowed
from the earlier languages existing in India.

The first evidence of classical Sanskrit is attested by
an inscription dating around A.D.150 in the Brahmi script.
It records the repair of a dam originally built by
Chandragupta Maurya, and also contains a panegyric in
verse which can be regarded as the first literary
composition in classical Sanskrit.

It is at Girnar in Kathiawar and was inscribed by
Rudradamana, the Saka Satrap of Ujjayini, on the same
rock on which the Fourteen Rock Edicts of Asoka were
also found.

It is significant that Rudradamana employed classical
Sanskrit in a region where about four hundred years before
him Asoka had used only Prakrit. This definitely proves
that in the second century AD Sanskrit was replacing
the dialects.

Even so the language did not replace Prakrit everywhere,
but it continued to be used in inscriptions for something
like one hundred years or even more after this date.

However, from the fifth century A.D. classical Sanskrit is
seen to be the dominant language in the inscriptions."

Press,  USA, 1979.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia 
and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in 
Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language 
ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it 
with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which 
roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful 
Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost 
unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the 
name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The 
Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad 
Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind 
Text didn't listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial
into  the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first
hills  of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline
of her  hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and
the  subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question
ran  over her cheek, then .

Richard,

It appears that Texas has many talented people, including George W. who has a

are you studying these languages on your own or do you have teachers to help

Thanks, John - Latin, like Sanskrit, is a dead language. 

Currently I am learning not only Latin, but Spanish, French,
Japanese, Sanskrit, Hindi, Tibetan, and Urdu.

FYI:

In fact, Sanskrit has never been the spoken language of
any people, anywhere.

There are no bija mantras mentioned in Rig Veda, and no
bija mantras are found in any Vedic Literature.

There is a lot of information about Sanskrit coming out 
of Texas lately, some of it is true and some of it is 
just plain misleading.

However, in reality, there are not that many ordinary 
folks around here who can read Sanskrit or understand it, 
much less recite the nicknames of all the devas in a 
foreign tongue!

We depend on hearsay for most of our information, usually
overhearing phrases at camp-meets. A few bhogis like to
read newsgroups on the Internet and post by day, but many
of us adepts do not even like to use overseas languages 
for communication among ourselves, preferring instead our 
own native Tex-Mex dialect, called Lingo, which is ideally
suited to household life.

However, a lot of folks around here are bi-lingual to a
certain degree. In fact, San Antonio has been described 
as one of the most diverse ethnic cities in the U.S. I 
guess that is why they call that amusement park 'Six Flags 
Over Texas'. LoL!

Anyway, we local yokels aproppriate our phrases from Yaqui,
Spanish, English, German, and French words. In addition,
we make use of a lot of place names that we ripped off
from the native indigenous population, such as Pontiac,
 Taos, and Milwaukee.

This notwithstanding, there has been an increased interest
in Oriental vernaculars, such as Hindi and Tibetan, due to
an influx of tourists, immigrants, and International
students.

The resident Swami here is said to be able to speak five
 languages, including  fluent English and Urdu. The Swami,
who recently gave a speech in Hindi, has an interesting
habit of omitting certain dipthongs when using Sanskrit
words, e.g. Yog for Yoga, etc.

In addition, there has been an increased interest in
learning Sanskrit on this very newsgroup. One informant,
sometimes posting under the handle 'Chief Shitting Bull',
claims to have a special apprenticeship with a certain
'Mullquist', who is reputed to be somewhat of a linguist
somewhere up in Nokialand.

Apparently, the language called Sanskrit was not spoken
by the Vedic population of ancient India, being a dead
language akin to Latin, and used solely for oral liturgical
purposes by priests during the Homa ceremony.

Written Sanskrit was invented later by Panini, who lived
long after the Vedas were first recited by the ancient
rishis and sages. It is a fact, that the first known
written vernacular in India is from the pillar of King
Ashoka at Sarnath, and it is not written in Sanskrit.

Do you think that Toni really knows anything?  I bet his knowledge is 
far less than some of the Sivananda devotees or even Ammachi's or other 
paths where they did teach people some real stuff.

The new pope is Italian but from Argentina.  Do you still think he might be 
connected with the Mafia?

That's why we are so interested ;-)

Now, since we have a new pope, we are just waiting for Toni to get rid of 
Girish. He could show some strength for a change.

Don't knock it.  He took the name of the patron saint of my city!  
Astrologically, he's a brilliant man.  He has a strong house for career, which 
turned out to be the Papacy.  He also has three exalted planets in the navamsha 
chart.  So, there you go.

Pope Francis I is the new head of the Church.  This is a complete surprise to 
everyone since he's already fairly old.  But he appears to be the right man for 
the job.  Aside from his humility, he is Italian and from Argentina.  So, 
politically he fills in the need as a Bishop of Rome, and as a representative 
of Latin America, which represents the majority of Catholics around the world.
