Sanskrit (संस्कृतम्) is an ancient language in which many Hindu religious texts were written. It is an Indo-European language, and hence related to languages such as Greek and Latin. Similar to Latin, it is now primarily a liturgical language and not spoken as a native language by any significant sector of the population. Nevertheless, as many contemporary Indian languages are descended from Sanskrit, and even those unrelated to Sanskrit have been strongly influenced by it, learning Sanskrit is of immense value to those with a keen interest in Indian culture. Sanskrit has also had a strong influence on many languages of Southeast Asia . It is one of the official languages of India .

Writing [ edit ]

Sanskrit is written in many scripts in different parts of India and Southeast Asia. It is predominantly written in the Devanāgarī (देवनागरी) script, shared with Hindi , Nepali , Marathi and a number of other Indian languages. Learning Devanagari is not quite as difficult as you might think at first glance, but mastering it takes a while and is beyond the scope of most travellers. See Learning Devanagari for a primer.

Pronunciation [ edit ]

Most English speakers find Sanskrit pronunciation rather challenging, as there are 11 separate vowels and 35 separate consonants, employing a large number of distinctions not found in English. Don't let this intimidate you : for the vast majority of its speakers, Sanskrit is not a mother tongue, and many speakers are quite used to regional accents and mangling in various degrees.

Vowels [ edit ]

The key distinction is the difference between short and long vowels. In this phrase book, long vowels are noted with a macron ( ā ), with short vowels listed without one. You will often come across non-standard romanizations, noted in parentheses below when applicable.

Consonants [ edit ]

Many Sanskrit consonants come in three different forms: aspirated, unaspirated and retroflex.

Aspiration means "with a puff of air", and is the difference between the sound of the letter "p" in English p in (aspirated) and s p it (unaspirated). In this phrasebook, aspirated sounds are spelled with an h (so English "pin" would be phin ) and unaspirated sounds without it (so "spit" is still spit ). Sanskrit aspiration is quite forceful and it's OK to emphasize the puff: b h arti .

Sanskrit retroflex consonants, on the other hand, are not really found in English. They should be pronounced with the tongue tip curled back. Practice with a native speaker, or just pronounce as usual — you'll usually still get the message across.

Phrase list [ edit ]

Some phrases in this phrasebook still need to be translated. If you know anything about this language, you can help by plunging forward and translating a phrase .

A Complete List of Sanskrit First Names and Meanings

Most popular Sanskrit first names on Family Education. Find your Sanskrit first name from A to Z and learn about its meaning and origins.

By L. Elizabeth Forry

Updated October 18, 2022

Sanskrit is a classical and ancient language and is one of the three earliest documented languages. It is the sacred language of Hinduism and Hindu poetry, myth, and philosophy. Sanskrit is also the sacred language of Buddhism and Jainism and is used in monasteries and temples. 

While Sanskrit is no longer a spoken language in most parts of modern society, like Latin in the western world, it is still used in religious ceremonies and texts. There are, however, a few small pockets in India where people still speak Sanskirt daily.

Historians believe that because Sanskrit is the language of Brahmins or the holy or highest caste of people, everyday people slowly stopped speaking it out of reverence or respect. 

However, many names in India and parts of Asia, particularly those who practice Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism, use Sanskrit names for their children.

The many names of sky.

• dyauH = द्यौः = where there is lightening; from dyut = lightening.
• abhram = अभ्रम् = one with movement (of clouds). it also means clouds, that move around ; from abhr = to move about
• vyoma = व्योम = that which covers (like a blanket); from vye = to cover
• puShkaram = पुष्करम् = that which nourishes (puShTim); by rains, the sky nourishes the earth
• ambaram = अम्बरम् = covering, clothing; that which covers the earth
• nabhaH = नभः
• antarikSham = अन्तरिक्षम् = that which is seen between (the earth and the sky). so technically, antarikSha is space, but is used for sky as well.

I'm interested in that word "antarikṣam". I have seen some of meanings of that word and now I want to know what does it really mean, especially in terminology of vedic cosmology. Could you explain this? ps. In the puruṣa sūktam it is said: "nābhyā āsīd antarikṣaṁ śīrṣṇo dyauḥ sam avartata . (10.90.14a)"

antarikSham = अन्तरिक्षम् = antaH + Iksham = seen in between = that which is seen between (the earth and the sky). it is spelt both as antarikSham or antariikSham (short or long i vowel) so what is seen in between sky and earth is antarIkSham. the vedic sukta: नाभ्या आसीत-अन्तरिक्षम् ...(RV 10.90.14) here nAbhyA is not from nabha (sky), but from nAbhi (navel) from navel was antarikSham, from head sky (heavens) was gathered, from feet the earth, from ears the directions [and thus] other regions were formulated (akalpayan) as for the spirituality, the 'vision' of this, you alone can experience it, no one can make you do it. the seers or the interpreter can only give you metaphors, descriptions, and guided with positive energy, you can visualize in your own way.

The 1000 most common Sanskrit words [Complete List]

We produced this list of the 1000 most common Sanskrit words through a statistical analysis of a large number of Sanskrit texts.

These texts include passages from the Mahabharata (a long epic narrative from ancient India), several of the Upanishads (ancient Indian religious and philosophical texts), as well as several yogic texts (including the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika).

Sanskrit is an inflected language, meaning that word endings often change depending on grammatical cases. We did our best to convert the words from the texts into their dictionary form, before counting their occurrences and sorting them by frequency.

This Sanskrit vocabulary list is sorted by frequency, meaning that the words at the top of the list occur more frequently than those further down the list.

The purpose of this list is to help those interested in learning the Sanskrit language assimilate the most basic vocabulary.

The Sanskrit word “न” (na) has the same origin as the Latin word “ne” and the English word “no”. Sanskrit and Latin belong to the Indo-European language family, and so does English.

• कर (kara) [noun] (doer, maker)

In Yogic texts, the Sanskrit word “एक” (eka) often appears in the compound “एकाग्रता” (ekāgratā) which means “one-pointedness” and refers to focused, undivided attention.
