- It is a natural language. There is a direct link between the sound and signs; it is phonetic. We write Sanskrit exactly as we say which means that the writing of Sanskrit language is based on the sound of the spoken form. In other words, Sanskrit has no spelling; there are no silent letters either. In contrast to Sanskrit, you can’t read many English words properly unless you know English to certain extant. This means that a student is assumed to have known already the English language before one starts learning it !
- There is only one set of alphabet in Sanskrit. This avoids many complexities of writing capital small and italic letters as they are in the Roman alphabet / European scripts.
- There aren’t many punctuation marks found in Sanskrit (Devanagari) script.
- For writing Sanskrit language, any comprehensive alphabet can be used and vice versa.
- Thanks to its phonetic scripts, there is an easy-flowing, natural and logical way to proceed while learning this wonderful language or to write any language after that.
- There is logic in its sound system, and a natural continuity in its word -making as well as sentence-making. For example, unless one has visited England, one cannot guess the correct reading of the names / places like Reading, Gloucester, Leicester, Peugeot, Plymouth….Chaos. in English,follows if not pre-learnt.
- Sanskrit sentence structure is flexible. The declensions and the conjugations have a wide range. Hence every student has more freedom in composing sentences in Sanskrit. In contrast to this, every English sentence has to follow syntax (the law of particular order of words).
- In Sanskrit, the order of words in a sentence does not matter. Thanks to this flexibility, a Sanskrit sentence may well follow any language the student is familiar with.
