Reading Sanskrit in English makes my brain melt
#lang#thoughts#english is not phonetic and also terrible for a language like sanskrit that has so many compound words#not that devnagari makes the compound words seem shorter or anythig#but at least theres one less hurdle of learning phonetic synbols and how the translator chose to show double consonants and whatnot#i have rants#but I understand Devanagari isnt south asia wide#so i propose any sanskrit revival efforts also require learning brahmi#'but thats less accessible! no one uses brahmi anymore!'#mate tell me thats not how it is with sanskrit as well#funny problems require more complicated and funnier solutions
