Artistic Forces/Sanskrit

Sanskrit (attributively संस्कृत-, Saṃskṛta-; nominally संस्कृतम्, Saṃskṛtam) is a classical and ancient language that belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages. Since its creation in ancient times, it emerged in South Asia following the diffusion of its predecessors from the northwest in the late Bronze Age. Also, it is considered the sacred and liturgical language of Dharmic faiths, including Hinduism, the language of classical Hindu philosophy, and of historical texts of both Buddhism and Jainism, and a link language in ancient and medieval South Asia. Upon the transmission of Hindu and Buddhist culture to Southeast Asia, East Asia and Central Asia in the early medieval era, it became a language of religion and high culture, and of the political elites in some of these regions. Sanskrit had a lasting impact on the languages of South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia, especially in their formal and learned vocabularies as a result before it went extinct during the British rule, where it was replaced with English.

Sanskrit generally connotes several Old Indo-Aryan language varieties, but has several derivatives that are directly came from this language, such as Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Panjabi, Hindustan, and most of the Indian languages. Since it became a dead language, no one on Earth can speak Sanskrit, mostly in India, as a primary language. However, in Animatopia, particularly in the continents of Medios and Suliem, it survives and became the racial and official language of the Daraiyans. As the language of classical Indian literature, Sanskrit is still widely studied and understood by linguists and academics today.

Etymology
The term Sanskrit comes from the verbal adjective sáṃskṛta-, which is a compound word consisting of a combination between sáṃ ('together, good, well, perfected') and kṛta- ('made, formed, work').
