Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 71 “Sanskrit on the other hand is not the direct descendant of Vedic, as some may suppose. If Vedic was used only as a dialect of North-Western India, Sanskrit was born in the north, in the Gang valley, and was used at the time when Vedic still existed. Sanskrit early became the language of the literature and fell out of use as a colloquial tongue. It was proclaimed a divine language in India, and all classical works in science, verse or history were written only in this language. … Many words in the language are not Indo-European and were borrowed from aboriginal Dravidian and Munda languages. This makes it farther from Iranian and other Indo-European languages than was Vedic.” (http://www.geocities.com/indoeurop/tree/indo/sanskrit.html) The first epigraphic evidence of Sanskrit is seen in 150 AD and this inscription is in the Brahmi script. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1982). From the fifth century A.D., classical Sanskrit is seen to be the dominant language in the inscriptions. Earlier documents used Pali and Prakrit. Asoka who took every care to make his messages intelligible to the common man used all existing scripts and languages. These 3 rd Centaury inscriptions do not include Sanskrit. It included Prakrit, Greek and even in Aramaic. But no Sanskrit is found because it was not in existence at that time. Sanskrit was developed out of Prakrit and other existing languages during the interval of 100 AD to 150 AD “The first evidence of classical Sanskrit is found as an inscription dating around A.D.150 in the Brahmi script. It records the repair of a dam originally built by Chandragupta Maurya, and contains a panegyric in verse, which can be regarded as the first literary composition in classical Sanskrit. It is at Girnar in Kathiawar and was inscribed by Rudradamana, the Saka Satrap of Ujjayini, on the same rock on which the Fourteen Rock Edicts of Asoka were also found.
Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 72 Emperor Asoka Asoka’s Edict in Prakrit It is significant that Rudradamana employed classical Sanskrit in a region where about four hundred years before him Asoka had used only Prakrit. This definitely proves that in the second century AD Sanskrit was replacing the dialects. Even so, the language did not replace Prakrit everywhere, but it continued to be used in inscriptions for something like one hundred years or even more after this date. However, from the fifth century A.D. classical Sanskrit is seen to be the dominant language in the inscriptions.” (Hinduism, by Nirad C. Chaudhuri, Oxford University Press, USA, 1979.)
