Sanskrit and panini grammar [AS RECD FROM SANSKRIT GROUP]
We can feel proud this is a nation of first language Sanskrit, tuned
as a language, of not only Prime-eminence, but also as a MOTHER -LANGUAGE
FOR MOST OF THE LANGUAGES OF THE EARTH; AND A LANGUAGE FOR MACHINE FIT
ENOUGH THAN ALL THE LANGUAGES OF THE EARTH. HOWCOME PANINI COULD TREAT A
LANGUAGE ANALYSIS INTO 4000 RULES, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT TO FORM THE WWORDS?

Panini grammar was base for Tolkappier Tamil Grammar

‘We may have all the wisdom of Panini Samskrutham. And great Pride.
But We seem to have no answer on why we are not able to tap - transform
What we have to what we need and can use for National Prosperity. The
*30-minute
video*, uploaded just three days ago, from a west might trigger some
thoughts and action.
The Transcript: Around 500 BCE, the Sanskrit grammarian Panini
composed the Ashtadhyayi — roughly 4,000 sutras (production rules) {as per
vest and not mine} that generate every valid word-form in the language from
a finite system. The architecture is startling: a meta-language, silent
meta-data markers (anubandhas), inherited rule-scope (anuvritti), abstract
semantic roles (the karaka system), specificity ordering (vipratisedha),
and a phased, two-pass section (the Tripadi). In short — the structure of a
modern compiler, twenty-four centuries before programming. In 1967,
computer scientist Peter Zilahy Ingerman proposed renaming Backus-Naur form
to "Panini-Backus form" (Communications of the ACM, vol. 10, no. 3). Noam
Chomsky has repeatedly credited Panini as a forerunner of generative
grammar. So why did 19th-century philologists like William Dwight Whitney
(Sanskrit Grammar, 1879) dismiss the system as native "ingenuity" rather
than science? This is the story of the world's first formal language — and
how its deep structure now underlies compilers, parsers, and modern NLP.
This educational video explores the work of Panini, an ancient
grammarian, and his 4,000 production rules, highlighting their significance
in the context of language and early programming concepts. We delve into *how
these rules, written in the Indian subcontinent, relate to modern computer
engineering and the theory of computation*. It's a fascinating look into
language history and its unexpected connection to artificial intelligence.
