“A 27-year-old PhD scholar finally cracked the riddle which has defeated Sanskrit experts since the 5th Century BC—by decoding a rule taught by “the father of linguistics” Pāṇini.

The discovery makes it possible to ‘derive’ any Sanskrit word—to construct millions of grammatically correct words including ‘mantra’ and ‘guru’—using Pāṇini’s revered ‘language machine’ which is widely considered to be one of the great intellectual achievements in history.

Leading Sanskrit scholars have described the discovery as ‘revolutionary’—and it now means that Pāṇini’s grammar can be taught to computers for the first time...

Pāṇini’s system—4,000 rules detailed in his greatest work, the Aṣṭādhyāyī which is thought to have been written around 500 BC—is meant to work like a machine. Feed in the base and suffix of a word and it should turn them into grammatically correct words and sentences through a step-by-step process.

However, until now, there had been a huge problem. Scientists say that, often, two or more of Pāṇini’s rules are simultaneously applicable at the same step, leaving scholars to agonize over which one to choose...

Thought to have lived in a region in what is now north-west Pakistan and south-east Afghanistan, Pāṇini taught a ‘metarule’ to help decide which rule should be applied in the event of a conflict...

Traditionally, scientists have interpreted Pāṇini’s metarule as meaning: in the event of a conflict between two rules of equal strength, the rule that comes later in the grammar’s serial order wins.

Rajpopat rejects this, arguing instead that Pāṇini meant that between rules applicable to the left and right sides of a word respectively. Pāṇini wanted us to choose the rule applicable to the right side. Employing this interpretation, Rajpopat found Pāṇini’s language machine produced grammatically correct words with almost no exceptions...

“This discovery will revolutionize the study of Sanskrit at a time when interest in the language is on the rise.”

Sanskrit is an ancient and classical Indo-European language from South Asia. It is the sacred language of Hinduism, but also the medium through which much of India’s greatest science, philosophy, poetry, and other secular literature have been communicated for centuries.

While only spoken in India by an estimated 25,000 people today, Sanskrit has influenced many other languages and cultures around the world.

Rajpopat, who was born in Mumbai and learned Sanskrit in high school, explained, “Some of the most ancient wisdom of India has been produced in Sanskrit and we still don’t fully understand what our ancestors achieved.

“I hope this discovery will infuse students in India with confidence, pride, and hope that they too can achieve great things.”

He said that a major implication of his discovery is that now we have the algorithm that runs Pāṇini’s grammar, we could potentially teach this grammar to computers.

“Computer scientists working on Natural language processing gave up on rule-based approaches over 50 years ago. So teaching computers how to combine the speaker’s intention with Pāṇini’s rule-based grammar to produce human speech would be a major milestone in the history of human interaction with machines, as well as in India’s intellectual history.”” -via Good News Network, 12/16/22

Sanskrit, Music, and Science: Learn the art of mastering any accent

Sanskrit is no ordinary language. It's probably the only language that has originated from music. So its versatility can help us master any accent of any language in the world. Today I take a look at the origin of Sanskrit and its science of pronunciation

The planet Earth inhabits over 8 billion people on 7 continents, consisting of at least 200 countries. And we have disagreements from time to time. Some of these disagreements are always ongoing because they sprout from differences in culture, region, and language. While other things may or may not be in our control, language is something that surpasses all barriers because all humans have this…

Ok I want to explain my choices of why Sanskrit Tamil and Urdu.

Firstly all three of these languages are written differently from how they are spoken today. They are old as hell and have so so many important manuscripts written in them. Almost 90% of all Middle Eastern/Islamic/Sufi/Indian literature is written in these three. Keep in mind that Islam and all the religions practiced in India are all thousands of years old and cover a large number of periods and are relevant to a large number of people, at least 1/4th of the population.

Also have you heard the lines from the poems in Urdu and Tamil? The Sufi poets and Nayanmars? Thiruvalluvar? Bharathiyar? Rumi? @unrealfigmentofyourimagination help me out here.

Also, Sanskrit is said to have one of the most logical grammatical structure which makes it a very easy language to code with... If only someone knew all those grammar rules, no? There is a saying that only Saraswati knows them and Panini merely recorded the ones he could.

If you could instantly learn three languages, what languages would you want to know?

Studying Linguistics

Here's what I learned today:

🌿 Languages are made up of signs. Signs are the combination of letters and sounds that we give meaning to.

🌿 Modern Linguistics began in the 19th century

🌿 European colonialist linguistics used a classification and comparison method to understand language better, by compiling various word lists and grammars from other languages to break down their similarities and differences. William Jones is credited as the founder of comparative linguistics.

🌿 Despite being credited with this discovery, William Jones was in fact not the first to discover that the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit was related to European languages. That credit goes to Panini, who was a famous grammarian and way ahead of his time, surpassing European linguistic achievements.

🌿 Ferdinand de Saussure is said to be the "father of linguistics" with his groundbreaking contributions. His influence would not only influence linguistics as a whole, but anthropology and semiotics as well. After his death, a book was published titled "Course in General Linguistics" in 1916.

🌿 Early modern linguistics focused heavily on phonetics and phonology.

🌿 In 1886, the International Phonetic Association (IPA) was established by Europeans in Paris, and is still around to this day.

Important schools/branches of modern linguistics:

🇨🇿 The Prague School: focused on phonological theory and is remembered for their contributions to syntax.

🇬🇧 British Structuralism: J.R. Firth's theory of meaning, emphasizing context and is summarised as "meaning is use in context".

Astadhyayi of Panini: Roman Transliteration and English Translation

Panini’s grammar of Sanskrit, written in the sixth century B.C., is the earliest linguistic description of the language and is the source and inspiration for the development of comparative philology and modern linguistics. The Astadhyayi remains the most correct and complete grammar ever written and is considered a model for all grammar.

I realized something this afternoon.

I am formally trained in linguistics. Much of our data—from the earliest days of Panini describing Sanskrit to the medieval Arab grammarians to the foundation of historical linguistics to Sapir, Whorf, and Boas to the preservation of minority or endangered languages today—comes from some form or other of data scraping, be it by actively going out and looking up things or just existing and listening to what people say as they go about their days. There’s a subfield (corpus linguistics) that’s specifically about scraping data and wringing the information out of it.

I would go so far as to say that without data scraping of one form or another, linguistics as a field would hardly exist. You can’t study language in general from a sample size of one and the best way to learn is immersion, for starters; other than that, you have all the historical documents (whatever their provenance) written in dead tongues and you can figure out how older languages worked by looking at said documents and comparing them to other documents and teasing out the mechanisms.

I therefore cannot begrudge the AI companies for doing what they are doing. From a certain point of view it’s how linguists advance the field (and particularly those working in the field—you certainly can have recourse to informants but, again, learning by immersion is most effective).

This should get some people thinking. It sure got me to think about it. I think there is a way to use AI that is good, but there is a way to use it that is not good.

Vyakarana – IV: Discovering the Universal Philosophy of Language | HUA

VYAKARANA – IV 

Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī is a monumental work in the sūtra format (short aphorisms) that establishes the grammar of ancient Sanskrit as a language. At the same time, the text also presents a general model for language description, that goes beyond Sanskrit as a specific language instance. This is the fourth course in a sequence of four courses on Vyākaraṇa (grammar) based on Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī. The formalism of grammar developed by Pāṇini has its foundation in the philosophy of language in the Indian tradition elucidated by Vyāḍi. After Pāṇini, Bhartṛhari explained this comprehensively in his compendium named Vākyapadīya, which elucidates the universal philosophy of language, and is considered as a pathway to liberation in the Vyākaraṇa tradition. 

Vyakarana – IV Course content: 

The course introduces the tradition of the philosophy of Vyakarana while providing comparisons with other schools of Indian thought. It also provides an overview of Vakyapadiya along with a selection of sections pertaining to the central themes of the philosophy of Vyakarana. 

In this course, students will be able to: 

Understand the philosophy of language that provided the concept of apoddhara (dissection and abstraction) based on which Panini formulated his Astadhyayi. 

Understand the engagement with language and grammar as a spiritual process.
