 Yes learning Hindi is easy than Sanskrit. The reason, according to The team that conducted a study  demonstrated that brain looks for easy-to-comprehend case constructions.

 

Good things are always hard to learn. In olden days often Pandits and other important persons in the society used to learn Sanskrit. But with time and due to strict grammar rules people started learning new languages, and these days people started focusing on learning English with priority than other languages.

Interesting article. If Ihad not read the article,  I would probably say, It is because of the language we are comfortable with. We learn Hindi or our mother tongue right from the beginning whereas Sanskrit Is taken up later In school.  It Is like learning french which is similar to English but difficult since we are not familiar with.

 

In school however, i used to think of Sanskrit as a scoring subject ..just mug up the shabd and dhatu roops and put them in our answer scripts as both used to be part of the syllabus

Human mind has a tendency to look for the easiest way to learn the things according to the study in the article. Sanskrit is no exception.

 

I agree human brain hates tough grammar but you will be surprised to note that Sanskrit is most suitable language for computer programming. If they ever chose another language for programming

Sanskrit is known as the Mother of many languages. It is not a wonder if Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computer programming.

Well, interesting it is indeed, but then it is also a fact that the more tougher tasks we allocate to our brain, it becomes much more developed and we are able to use more and more percentage of brain. The easier and easier our tasks become, don't you think, that finally our brain will start degenerating. That what is always in use and is taxed greatly, only will become developed!

True. Using the brain to its fullest potentiality will provide an exercise to the brain. Brain is also a muscle. The more you use it, the more strong it becomes and will be able to do difficult tasks with ease.

 

Well what i think is that HINDI is mostly spoken all over INDIA and whereas SANSKRIT is not that's why hindi is known to all of us and its become easy for us to speak it in compare to SANSKRIT

Hindi is not the only spoken language all over India. Besides Hindii Telugu, Bengali and Marathi are also spoken.

 

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.

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.
