samskrta

Samskrta is a constructed language created by the Indian computer scientist and linguist, Dr. Devdutt Patnaik. Its development began in the early 2000s with the goal of creating a logical and unambiguous language for communication, particularly in the fields of science and technology. Patnaik envisioned Samskrta as a language that could bridge linguistic divides and facilitate international collaboration.

The vocabulary of Samskrta is derived from a combination of Sanskrit, English, and other languages, aiming for a logical and systematic structure. Its grammar is designed to be regular and predictable, minimizing exceptions and complexities often found in natural languages. This deliberate design is intended to make the language easier to learn and use, especially for non-native speakers.

Samskrta utilizes a unique script, also developed by Patnaik, which is phonetic and aims for a streamlined visual representation. The language has a relatively small community of speakers and enthusiasts, primarily focused within academic and linguistic circles interested in its experimental nature and potential applications. While not widely spoken, Samskrta continues to be a subject of interest for those exploring the possibilities of artificial or constructed languages in the modern world.
