SANSKRITS – ŠĶIETAMI MIRUSI DIEVU VALODA AR STATUSU
SANSKRIT – THE SEEMINGLY EXTINCT LANGUAGE OF GODS WITH A STATUS

Summary/Abstract: In the 21st century, when global processes are so rapid that we have to simplify our communication tools, in times when artificial intelligence surpasses human abilities, Sanskrit, as one of the ancient and classical languages in the Indo-European family, can be proud of its long history and an enormous number of texts, as well as of its status and use still nowadays. Likely, the language (called both – the language of gods and extinct language) has achieved this success as the result of some supernatural power, or the success is brought through centuries by the cultural and ethical heritage of Vedic texts, or maybe it is a simple result of the independence period national movement efforts. According to the Constitution of the Republic of India, Sanskrit has a relatively high status as an educational language, while other classical languages are dormant or almost extinct.
