Stoic Sadhu English
In today’s video let’s talk about the father of linguistics Panini who is mainly responsible for giving us this beautiful and most scientific language Sanskrit and who should also be called the first Geek of this world because he’s who developed the first Turing machine
all our Indian languages are very scientific in this and for this we have to actually give credit to Panini. Panini laid down extensive rules on Sanskrit grammar and linguistics in his great work with the name Ashtadhyayi. It is because of these rules that Sanskrit is one of the most logical and scientific languages in this world. Such is the Brilliance of Panini that is morphological analysis on how words are formed are more advanced than nineteenth-century linguist and his non compounding analysis still forms the basis of the linguistic theories on compounding of words in the modern Indian languages.
Now the Brilliance of Panini is just not limited to the linguistics you realize his true brilliance when you look at Ashtadhyayi his work. Now, Ashtadhyayi is a very difficult read and that is because it is very very dense. A lot of information is packed in it and it’s all very condensed. You see Sanskrit grammar is a very extensive topic and you have to write pages and pages of rules to really come up with all those rules. But Panini was able to compress all of that into just 40 pages, so how did he do that? He did that by codifying language itself, all the rules that were present in the Sanskrit grammar were all codified into different codes and then those codes were then presented in a very rhyming language in his book Ashtadhyayi
