Words derived from Sanskrit

[anil_rathee]

Hi All Jatlanders,

I am very fond of Sanskrit Language, although I am very week in it at the same time as I have never learnt it formally. but I understands it.

I have heard from many people that a large amount of words in many foreign languages (specially European) are derived from Sanskrit...... Even I have observed that many words in English sounds similar to very commonly used Sanskrit words with almost same meanings.....

The latest one i found was COW derived from (Gou, गौ)..they pronounce very close if we observe it .......most of us have seen Namastey London and know many more words from thr. .....

I wanted to explore it further and want to know till which extent world languages are influenced by Sanskrit.

I know here we have lots of Scholars who have in depth knowledge of this subject.....

Could you all please share your part of knowledge.........

Please provide the words used in any world language and its equivalent in Sanskrit with meaning (as i m poor in this subject)

thank you very much for your contribution in advance..........:)

The list is endless. English has adopoted many Sanskrit words on "as-it-is" basis - such as chakra, Brahmin, ghee, guru, maharaja, mahatma, pundit, swami, yoga etc. Some more words are listed below, derived from Sanskrit.

सूप - Soup
काष्यू - Cashew
शर्करा - Sugar
जगन्नाथ - Juggernaut (Lord of the World)
पाल्यंका - Palanquin
दुहितृ - Daughter
दिव्यम् - Divine
नावी - Navy

Sirs,
I was so concerned by this mail and got in touch with British Parliament for confirmation. Following is the reply received.
Dear Dr. Moosad,
Thank you for your enquiry. I refer you to one of our Frequently Asked Questions, which answers your question

(HERE TWO LINKS WERE GIVEN-VIVEK)
The link gives this:
"Macaulay's Minute, sometimes referred to as a speech given in Parliament or a minute presented to Parliament, is not a Parliamentary record so is not held by the Parliamentary Archives. Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859) Baron Macaulay, historian, essayist, and poet, was a Member of Parliament between 1830-1834, 1840-1847 and 1852-1857. His famous Minute on Indian Education is dated 2 February 1835, when he was not an MP. He had resigned his Parliamentary seat in early 1834 and sailed for India, as he had been made a Member of the Supreme Council for India. The Minute was therefore presumably written for the Supreme Council, not the British Parliament.
The text of Macaulay's Minute on Indian Education can be found on many websites using a search engine such as Google and entering the title and name of the author. Alternatively, Macaulay's entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography(HERE was a link-vivek) records that Macaulay's Minute was printed by G. O. Trevelyan in an appendix to his book The Competition Wallah (1864). The Parliamentary Archives cannot vouch for the authenticity of any of these websites, nor does it hold a copy of Trevelyan's book..”
And the so called Minute, when checked, did not contain the quoted text anywhere in it. He was arguing for English education in India, but in a much more polished and civilized manner. I wish we could avoid circulating such unconfirmed/controversial stuff.

Vivek bhai, dhanyavad. I got a forwarded mail 2 days back with the same letter. I had my doubts about the authenticity of that letter. Thanks for the information. I wonder why we Indians keep bragging about ourselves and our past and why not ponder on what we have, rather what we are right now. Talk about the inventions and discoveries then we will get an argument that we contributed with "0", we brag about IT and we stand only at 44th or somewhere in 70's among the best IT nations and now and then we keep hearning such things. Anyways the point I wanted to make is that we shouldn't be ecstatic by such circulating messages or the achievements in the past. how does that help us in the present now. the ground realities are very different.

About the sanskrit, somehow I am also fascinated with this language but the fact of the matter is that sanskrit lost to other languages in the race of survival and evolution. If it was such a great language then wonder why its popularity/usuage went down during the course of world history.

Bhai mujhe lagta hai ki hum indians bina kuchh kare bhi chahte hain ki duniya hume pooje. jaise koi banda apne purkho ki kabr par baitha tha aur log bag jab bhi us kabr par diye jalate to vo ye soch kar khush hota ki ye meri pooja kar rahe hain, hum to usse bhi aage hain... hum khud hi diya jalate hain aur kood kar khud hi kabr par baith jate hain.


...sanskrit lost to other languages in the race of survival and evolution. If it was such a great language then wonder why its popularity/usuage went down during the course of world history.

Bhai rahi baat sanskrit ke evolve na hone ki to main samajhta hoon ki actually jo other languages like hindi also is not evolving nowadays but its a devolution as we are not taught languages properly and it becomes the cause of regionalism with passage of time. And here I thank to the scholars of sanskrit as they are maintainig its quality and high standards.

Sanskrit ki popularity isliye kam ho rahi hai kyonki ye time baazaarvaad ka hai aur sanskrit seekhne ki jarurat logo ko nahi padti kyonki aisa koi nahi hai jo kewal isi language ko janta ho, aur agar aisa hai to uski purchasing power apekshakrit kam hogi. South India me jyadatar private , khaskar marketing, job wale hindi seekh rahe hain taaki hindi bhashi customers ko apna saman bech saken.
