Vedic Sanskrit

While attested Vedic is indeed very close to the Prakrits, it is also accepted that the Middle Indo-Aryan languages do preserve some features not found even in the Rigveda, among other things (such as the merging of /l/ and /r/ as /r/ in Vedic, but /l/ appearing later in MIA languages and Classical Sanskrit, resulting in Vedic rēḍʰi but Classical lēḍʰi). As such, MIA languages and Classical Sanskrit are usually considered to descend from unattested Old Indo-Aryan dialects parallel to Vedic. If you are still adamant that they do descend from attested Vedic, please provide a reliable source that supports that claim and can explain these discrepancies.

Also, please don't say you "fixed a typo" when you didn't. 2601:642:4780:6B0:4909:4440:CB55:AFEE (talk) 17:25, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

@2601:642:4780:6B0:4909:4440:CB55:AFEE Thank you for your reply, actually I have proofs for everything that you mentioned, I mean I have proofs of "Prakrits" derived from Vedic Sanskrit.. cuz the Sanskrit we see now isn't actually Sanskrit from the ancient times, at all.. The Mittani Sanskrit, which we call a mysterious Indo-aryan language of Mittani, was a dialect of Vedic Sanskrit, as seen in the Mittani inscriptions, cuz a particular culture can't have 2 primary languages at once.. Mittani Sanskrit had "Za", "combined consonant word" and even "zha" in it, as attested in The Mittani inscriptions.. Medha becomes "Mazdha", equivalent to "Mezdha" of Old avestan and Old Persian..

But since I am new to Wikipedia, I can't access "The Wikipedia Library", so tell me now, what should I do now? how would o site proofs here? Arkam Knight (talk) 18:11, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

@2601:642:4780:6B0:4909:4440:CB55:AFEE how should I cite evidences of my claims? my account is still not eligible to access the wikipedia library Arkam Knight (talk) 18:13, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

As we define it, Vedic Sanskrit is not an all-encompassing term for all pre-Classical Old Indo-Aryan dialects. Mitanni-Aryan is therefore not considered true Vedic Sanskrit, and neither are the dialects that gave rise to the Prakrits and Classical Sanskrit.

Oh, and you do not need the Wikipedia Library to cite sources. See WP:CITE for advice on how to cite sources. 2601:642:4780:6B0:892E:CC18:669A:7551 (talk) 19:39, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
