Thank you for y...@Chirag ji and Major Srikanth ji,<br /><br />Thank you for your gracious comments..<br /><br />Yes, it would need a herculean effort spanning across many generations. <br /><br />But there is hope since as computers progress, the need for efficient "oral command" language will arise more and more acutely. The need for a new "Meta-language" which will be extremely logical, flexible and without the system of "spelling" will arise.<br /><br />Indian languages and sanskrit in particular already fits this criterion. An Indian child can pronounce 14 vowels and 52 consonants by the age of 2. Along with half-letters, an Indian chil can pronounce about 1024 types of different sounds. Just sounds, I am not talking about words and phrases.<br /><br />Furthermore, the words in sanskrit based languages do not have a system of spelling. We write what we speak. In other words, we have a system which can mimic the spoken language as it is, without any loss in transmission. Fete, feet, fit are pronounced same but mean totally different. But फिट is फिट and cannot be anything else. Thus we have a system of representing "sound" on paper with grammar complex and flexible enough to denote words arising out of the above mentioned 1024 basic sounds.<br /><br />Thus, there is a platform ready. Instead of building a totally new platform from scratch, it is easier to upgrade the available but slightly outdated platform. <br /><br />Of course it will require academic, official and popular support. But Raaja is "moola" of "dharma". :-) if Rajas are convinced, with time, more and more intelligent people will start using the sanskrit 2.0 to upload their fruits of deliberations and while at it, refine the language furthermore.<br /><br />I am not a linguist or a sankrit pandit. So how to do it, can be deliberated by really knowledgeable people on anthropology, compunter science, linguistics, grammar literature and others. This is just a seed which is planted on the free-domain of internet. May be it will take root and become a huge banyan tree in ocming centuries, who knows.. :-) It is just one aspect of Dharma-sansthapana.. many other aspects have to happen simultaneously. And I have a feeling, it will in coming years..<br /><br />What can we do in our individual capacity? We can start using our mother tongue more on internet. We can start using Indic words to describe the ideas which we usually express and "think" in english. may be, if there are no parallel words for those ideas in our language, we can try and create new words which would mean and convey the idea. <br /><br />Contrary to history taught to us, Paninian Sanskrit evolved from contemporary Prakrit languages and not vice-versa. Today's prakrit languages (Bengali, gujarati, marathi, telugu, mallu etc)have evolved from Paninian Sanskrit and their prakrit predecessors. So, for Evolution of Sanskrit 2.0, the current prakrit languages have to prosper too.. <br /><br />Kaalaay tasmay namah..काय चालूये.. https://www.blogger.com/profile/17951102544582956198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32937120.post-191150126068451022011-07-07T21:54:32.824+05:302011-07-07T21:54:32.824+05:30A superb analysis.

But do you think that creation of sanskrit 2.0 will be anything similar to the original sanskrit of panini. It would require herculean effort and needs to be used by one and all. Please let me know if there is anything at all that i can do to help.Majorsrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706761857383284861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32937120.post-24229868653598328622011-07-07T00:01:25.896+05:302011-07-07T00:01:25.896+05:30What a great analysis!

I had that notion in mind for a long time, but did not have effort to develop the idea into reality. You showed me what that "notion" is and what efforts are needed.चिराग: Chirag Patelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03327997594676315682noreply@blogger.com
