The ancient
language of the Hindoos, long since obsolete in vernacular use, but
preserved to the present day as the literary and sacred dialect of
India. It is nearly allied to the Persian, and to the principal
languages of Europe, classical and modern, and by its more perfect
preservation of the roots and forms of the primitive language from
which they are all descended, is a most important assistance in
determining their history and relations. Cf. Prakrit, and
Veda.
