Why learning Hindi is easier than Sanskrit

Though both Hindi and Sanskrit have the same Devanagari script, it is true that Sanskrit is little tougher because its grammar is entirely different from Hindi. But if we want to study it seriously, nothing is going to be difficult. It depends on our attitude. If we believe that it is difficult, and start learning, we will find it difficult.  

Grammar is the base on which any language is built. This applies to any language. If one finds a particular language is difficult to learn, it implies that, he is unable to get a grip on the Grammar of that particular language.. Sanskrit is that classical language which has a tough Grammar written by Panini. This is why people find it easier to learn Hindi, which doesn't have a tough Grammar like Sanskrit.

Apart from difficulty to learn, it is more useful to learn Hindi rather than sanskrit. Sanskrit is not useful for conversation, correspondnence and education. This is only for Hindu religious functions. The Hindu clergymen also only chnat mantras on such occasions and they also don't use Sanskrit for any otherpurpose. What you don't use becomes difficult. Hindi and English are easier also becasuse these are more in use.

I agree. In the present scenario the use of Sanskrit is very limited. I also agree it will be useful to learn those languages which have utilitarian aspects in our day to day life. And Hindi and English are having most utilitarian aspects.

 

 

Both Hindi and Sanskrit are ancient languages. In India every Indian Speak Hindi rather than Sanskrit. Hindi become common language as compared to Sanskrit. 

The purpose of a language is to communicate.Hindi and English have that advantage of communicating in any place in India. Sanskrit doesn't serve this purpose as it has limited utility.

Sanskrit is not a communication language because Indian people either speak hind, English or regional language. Very few place Sanskrit is also used as Communication language.

Usage of Sanskrit is limited. But there are places where Sanskrit is used for day to day activities.

Sanskrit Is back In school syllabus after a short spell of German being included In the central board curriculum.  Thought It was better to have the foreign language from Its utility point of view. Sanskrit truly Is seen only In Doordarshan news these days otherwise Hindi suffices.

Because of its limited Usage in Day to day life, Sanskrit has become almost an obsolete language. Hindi being prevalent in almost all the spheres of life, Hindi never looks like another language even in the regions where Hindi is not spoken.

Sanskrit is used for day to day talk in Mattur (karnataka) and four other villages elsewhere.  Thus there is no one district where people use sanskrit. surprisingly, Himachal Pradesh government has declared Sanskrit as associate official language but no official work is done in this language.

While appreciating the decision of HP by declaring Sanskrit as Associate Official language, it hasn't done any official work in Sanskrit. This itself says Sanskrit as an official language is practically of no use.

Then why make this associate official language. Is this not mockery.

Certainly a Mockery. The HP government wants to say that it is respecting an ancient language.

 

 

Today Sanskrit is only used by "Pundit" during marriages. Once it was the mother tongue of India, but with time and due to different rulers in India like Mughals and Britishers, languages has changed and our mother tongue is Hindi.

Hindi is not the Mother tongue of all Indians. The Mother tongue of people in Kerala is Malayalam. Kannada is the Mother tongue of people in Karnataka. The Mother tongue of people in  Andhra and Telangana is Telugu

Hindi was declared as an official language and not a national language.

Most of the valuable ancient literatures, both oral and written, of our great India which we are proud of were in Sanskrit language. May be Sanskrit will not earn us money; it has no utility in the present world; and may be the grammar is tougher; …..but I think it is the most beautiful language in the world. (And of course it depends on the concept of beauty of each individual).

Sanskrit is said to be the Mother of all languages.

Here is an interesting article about the Sanskrit language. It may not be in vogue now. But it's greatness remains for ever.

one of the most important factor which makes the languages easier to learn us fast is eagerness and passion to learn that 

Along with the Passion, there should be Hard work. Without handwork nothing is possible.
