[Assam] [FriendsofAssamNE] Fwd: Asom or Oxom, phonetically speaking

[Barua25]

Dear Buban Kokaidew:
I will furnish some reference materail later. What I am saying, not from me bur from my reading, that non of the modern Indian languages have originated from Sanskrit. Sanskrit was  aparallel language which did not flow. That is why we see the original Sanskrit as structured by Panini.  Please read the wording again. By Sanskrit they may mean actually the Vedic language  which is also sometimes called Vedic Sanskrit (which is wrong actually) language. Prakits originated from the Vedic languages. >From the Vedic language, Sanskrit also originated. Sanskrit became a dead language while the Prakits flowed from which our modern Indian languages evolved.  The Sanskrit that is dead I was referring is the standard Sanskrit that we know and read today today which was structured by Panini.  In Assamese language we have some words which are found only in Pre Vedic language. Therfore some Assamese scholars claim that Assamese (or the origin of Assamese) might have been older than the origin of sanskrit.  Please see if the above make sense.
Thanks
Rajen

  I have not participated in this debate as I do feel that I know very little about the Assamese language. I would like to raise just a query.

  I've always heard that the modern Indian languagess originated from Sankskrit. You maintain that Assamese did not originate from Sanskrit. But my dictionaries say that the Prakrit dialects are derived from Sanskrit spoken by common men.

  Regards

  Bhuban
