In this Indic Talk, Sampadananda Mishra discusses the Wonder that is Sanskrit. He explains how Sanskrit is not just a language but an entire cultural eco-system in itself. He discusses how Sanskrit has a flexible sentence structure. Unlike other languages where the order of a particular sentence is crucial and changing that order also changes the meaning, Sanskrit has a very flexible structure where even changing the order of words will not change the meaning of the sentence. Sanskrit also has an amazing power of expression. To illustrate various aspects of an individual, institution or concept there are many words which are self-explanatory. Mishra then gives many examples to explain amazingly creative Sanskrit is. How it can use all the consonants in a single shloka and how it can create a shloka with just one vowel. He shows how Sanskrit is a scientific, most systematic language of all major languages in the world.
