Why is Sanskrit an Artificial Language?
Stop calling Sanskrit the "mother of all languages." It’s not a language; it’s an engineered construct.
Panini just created a language by sitting on a desk like esperanto. If it were a "natural" language, it would have evolved, decayed, and changed like every other human tongue. Instead, it’s a rigid, artificial script used by elites to keep a monopoly on knowledge.
It was never spoken by the masses; it was only ever "computed" by scholars.
Unfortunately, This is what some people say.
