Dear Wikimedia Programmers, The first paragraph is self-contradictory how can Sanskrit be both Historical language and an official language of a state. Only one of the facts can be correct

Since undersigned wants to create new articles in Sanskrit Language Wikipedia specialy in "Wikipedia" and "Help" Namespace;Correction in Namespace Names will help me and Sanskrit Language Wikipedia a Long way. We kindly request following localisation of Sanskrit Language Wikipedia at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/

• Namespace Current English Name 'Wikipedia' change the same to Sanskrit विकिपीडिया
  • Namespace Current semi-English Name 'Wikipediaसंभाषणं' change the same to Sanskrit विकिपीडिया संभाषणं

• Namespace Current English Name 'MediaWiki' change the same to Sanskrit मिडियाविकि
  • Namespace Current English Name 'MediaWiki talk' change the same to Sanskrit मिडियाविकि संभाषणं

• Namespace Current English Name 'Template' change the same to Sanskrit बिंबधर
  • Namespace Current English Name 'Template talk' change the same to Sanskrit बिंबधर संभाषणं

• Namespace Current Sanskrit Name 'उपकार:'(stands for 'Help') change the same to Sanskrit साहाय्य
  • Namespace Current Sanskrit Name 'उपकारसंभाषणं' (stands for 'Help talk') change the same to Sanskrit साहाय्य संभाषणं

Notes:

1)बिंबधर is a newly created applied term for Template.बिंब means an image that can transclude,and since a wikipedia template holds and helps transclude an image term created in sanskrit is बिंबधर

2)Help Namespace 'उपकार:' is being requested to be changed since 'उपकार:' means 'favour' where as right word for 'Help' in Sanskrit is available and is साहाय्य so this namespace change is being requested.

Please do reply at your earliest or post your comment directly at संस्कृत विकिपीडिया:ग्रामस्य चौपालम्

Though I am not a great expert on Sanskrit, I do agree that second change to use "Sahay" instead of "upkar" makes sense. This is from my understanding of other indian languages , especially Hindi.

edit request

Please change

Sanskrit (संस्कृतम् saṃskṛtam [sə̃skɹ̩t̪əm], originally संस्कृता वाक् saṃskṛtā vāk, "refined speech")

to

Sanskrit or Samskritam (संस्कृतम् saṃskṛtam [sə̃skɹ̩t̪əm], originally संस्कृता वाक् saṃskṛtā vāk, "refined speech") 117.201.244.36 (talk) 04:27, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I don't see the point of this. Sanskrit is the normal word in English; few if any people in English say "Samskritam" or any other transcription. Benwing (talk) 08:48, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Usage shows that "Samskritam" is vanishingly rare. Ben (talk) 16:24, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from , 28 October 2011

In the section "Symbolic usage", please add following -

DAV Institutions Asato Maa Sadgamaya

This should be added because: DAV Educational institutions are one of the biggest private school institutions in India which has its foundations in Arya Samaaj and one of the schools which invests heavily in teaching Sanskrit to its pupils with Sanskrit tution being mandatory for couple of years at least during the 12-year curriculum.

It's motto - Asato Maa Sadgamaya - is in Sanskrit. It's literal meaning is: "I go from Falsehood towards the Truth". Philosphically, it means - "To actively seek for self, and for others, to recognise the Truth of Universe and Life. It means that knowledge and open mind assists in journey from lies and false beliefs to search for, and recognise, the truths of nature. Thus in one simple statement it highlights the importance of inquisitive mind, encourages the questions and reject any beliefs without any basis in fact and thus promotes the pursuit of Truth both Scientifically and Spiritually"

Source: There are lot of resources on web which tells the motto of DAV Institutions as given above in my request. Wikipedia itself has an entry of the same at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dayanand_Anglo-Vedic_Schools_System

More Information: Phrase "Asato Ma Sadgamaya" is part of following hymn in one of the Vedas:

Asato Maa Sadgamaya Tamso Maa Jyotirgamaya Mrityorma Amritagamaya

Literally, above Sanskrit hymn means: "I go from Falsehood towards Truth, I go from Darkness towards Light, I go from Death towards Life"

Taken together, above hymn emphasizes the importance of pursuit of knowledge and truth.

Not done: This should be added to List of educational institutions which have Sanskrit phrases as their mottos. Please find a social institution with the motto as "Asato Ma Sadgamaya" to add it to the article. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^{Talk Email} 14:32, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

1500?

The McDonell 1900 (2004 is a reprint) seems to be a SLIGHTLY outdated source for the difficult question of dating. HJJHolm (talk) 16:16, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Masica

The often cited Masica is either mistakenly cited or no professional linguist. E.g. the Kentum-Satem division of the IE languages is by far outdated. Cf. e.g. M. Meier-Brügger L339. Further, Greek is NOT a Satem language. HJJHolm (talk) 14:43, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
