This cup of coffee is dedicated to the language Sanskrit and all who study her (I’ve just decided that languages are feminine, apparently - like goddesses) And yes, I have been taking my first steps. #sanskrit #langsky #coffee #LanguagesAreGoddesses

So this came today. It looks much better than anything I had until now. Thanks for the recommendation. Routledge doesn’t disappoint. #langsky #sanskrit

I once quite liked Walter Maurer: The Sanskrit Language: An Introductory Grammar and Reader. Not exactly cheap though, even in paperback.

#Sogdian was originally used in #Sogdia, modern-day #Uzbekistan, to write Sogdian, #Chinese, #Sanskrit, and #Uyghur. There is an older more cursive form and a newer more formal form. Full page: matuww.github.io/script_i…. #writingscripts #linguistics #history #art #map #matuww

Mudita is the opposite of Schadenfreude (the pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune). So it means when it makes you happy to see someone else happy.

Tibetan is not a “minority language.” With a 1,300-year written tradition, vast philosophical literature, & translations that preserved lost #Sanskrit texts, it represents a major intellectual civilization. Losing #Tibetan would mean losing a unique way humanity understands the world:

Ce que la Chine cherche à effacer n'est pas une «minorité» C'est un fil dans la tapisserie de l'expérience humaine. un fil dont la couleur et la texture sont uniques, irremplaçables, tissé sur treize siècles... #Tibet blogs.mediapart.fr/rangzen/blog...
