An ancient Indo-European language of India and the holy language of Hinduism. It shares connections with many languages in Europe and Asia, for example, English, German, Bulgarian, Russian, Greek, and Latin. It has influenced many unrelated languages in its area as well, for example, the Dravidian languages have a significant amount of influence from Sanskrit. Sanskrit is the ancestor of many modern Indo-Aryan languages such as Hindi, Marathi, and Odia. Sanskrit is often credited as the mother of all Indo-European languages and even languages unrelated to it, but this is not the case. Sanskrit has no native script but is usually written today in the Devanagari script.
