www.Primo.com: Do You Know Vedic Sanskrit.

Sanskrit Vedas or abbreviated as the language of the Vedas is the language used in the scriptures of the Vedas, the sacred texts of the start of India. The earliest Vedic texts that Ṛgweda, estimated to be written in the 2nd millennium BC, and the use of language of the Vedas implemented until approximately the year 500 BC, when the classical Sanskrit language was codified Panini begin to appear.
Vedic form of Sanskrit is a close derivative of Proto-Indo-Iranian, and still pretty similar (with a difference of approximately 1,500 years) of Proto-Indo-Europa, which reconstructed the form language of all Indo-European languages. Vedic Sanskrit is the oldest language is still found on the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. The language is still very close to the language of Avesta, the sacred language of religion Zoroastrianism. Kinship between Sanskrit languages of more recent European languages such as Greek, Latin and English can be seen in the following words: Ing. mother / Skt. मतृ MATR or Ing. father / Skt. पितृ pitṛ.
An other interesting equation can be found from Sanskrit and Persian words below sthaan and staan which means "land" or "state" (related to the English word that means to stand "stand").

History.

Five different stages can be distinguished in the development of the Vedic language.

Rgweda.

Book Rgweda contains most forms arkhais of all Vedic texts and still also contains many elements along the Indo-Iranian language in both form and content language text, which is not found in the other Vedic texts. Except for some parts, (book 1st to 10th), is expected to have finished Rgweda book written in 1500 BC.

Mantra language.

This period includes both the mantra and prose language in the book Atharva Veda (Paippalada and Shaunakiya), Rgweda Khilani, Samaveda Samhita (containing approximately 75 spells that do not exist in the book Rgweda), and spells Yajurveda. These texts are largely taken from Rgweda, but it has changed a lot, both in terms of linguistic and commentary. Some important changes including changing wiṣwa word "all" being sarwa, and widespread forms of basic verbs kuru- (in the book written Rgweda krno-). This period coincided with the rise of the early Iron Age in northwest India (iron was first mentioned in the book Atharva Veda), and the emergence of the Kuru kingdom, approximately in the 12th century BC.

Samhita prose text.

This period is characterized by the emergence of collecting and codifying the canon of the Vedas. An important linguistic change is the disappearance of injunktivus nd in modes aorist. Courant comment Yajurveda (MS, KS) included in this period.

Brahmana prose text.

The texts themselves of Chess Vedic brahmanas including this period, as well as the oldest Upanishads (BAU, Chu, JUB).

Silk language.

This language is the last stage of Vedic Sanskrit language until about 500 BC, contains most Śrauta and Grhya Sutras, and some Upanishads (eg Kathu, MaitrU. Some of the more recent Upanishads including the post-Vedic).
Around the year 500 BC factors of cultural, political and linguistic contribute in ending the Vedic period. Codification Vedic rites peaked, and movements such as Vedanta rival and earlier forms of Buddhism, who prefers to use the language of the people rather than Sanskrit Pali in writing their texts, began to emerge. King Darius I of Persia invaded the Indus Valley and the center of political power in India began to move eastward, to around the river Ganges.

Grammar.

Vedic Sanskrit had a labial fricative sounds [f], called upadhmaniya, and a velar fricative [x], called jihwamuliya. Both are allophones than visarga: upadhmaniya appear before p and ph, jihwamuliya before k and kh. Vedic Sanskrit also has a special letter ळ (Devanagari script) for l retrofleks, an allophone between vowels d, which is unusual in as L or LH switch. In distinguishing l vokalik than retrofleks l, l vokalik sometimes on the switch by using diacritical mark a circle under the letter, L; if this is done, r vokalik also depicted with a circle, R, for the sake of consistency principle.
Vedic Sanskrit is a language that has a pitch accent (Indonesia?). Due to a small number of words according to Vedic pelafazan contains a so-called independent swarita on a short vowel, it can be said that the language of the Vedas "cutting edge" is a tone language marginally. However, please note that the versions Rgweda metrics that have been reconstructed, almost every syllable containing swarita must be returned to a two-syllable sequence in which the first contains a anusvara and the second contains the so-called free swarita. So early Vedic language is not a language but a language that tone using the pitch accent.
In addition it has a shape subjunktivus Vedic language, which is not mentioned in the grammar Panini and is generally considered to have been lost at the time, at least in a general sentence construction.
I-long basis to distinguish inflection Goddess and inflection Wrkis, a distinction that has been lost in the classical Sanskrit language.
