I disagree. The key difference is here is that language sanskrit is unlike any other languages in the world. Somewhere during 400 BC. a grammarian named Panini formalized Sanskrit grammar as precise, formally defined 4200 rules. This book called `Ashtadhyayi` or 18 chapters was an exhaustive book of Sanskrit grammar and remains so even today. Panini defined a meta language to define Sanskrit grammar. What this meant…
How does a rigid, comprehensive, and prescriptive grammar ensure accurate oral transmission of linguistic works across generations? How does such a grammar prevent semantic shifts across time?
Imagine you had to pass down a Java program (through oral tradition) to sort numbers and you had a Java Language Specification that remains unchanged. Now compare that to say English language where and you write an essay on sorting numbers. If both things are passed down orally over few dozen generations which one is likely to keep its form ?
