Learning Samskrita Thread

[OneWithTheSerpent]

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to start this thread and share my knowledge of the holy Samskrita language.

Something to note is that Samskrita is often paired with an English translation for how to pronounce the letters. What’s important is to learn and recognize the pronunciation for the Samskrita letters and not rely on the English translation. It will lead to double the work and make things harder down the road as we learn words, which phrases and sentences.

I’ve found good examples of how to pronounce the alphabet to post below. Knowing the difference between hard vs soft vowels is also important, and will make things easier down the road.

That’s a cool video! Some of his pronunciations sound different than what I was taught, but there are different dialects of Samskrta.

I posted this at work today on lunch so I was in a rush and didn’t have a chance to find a video I liked to attach. I’ll link a video that I found helpful down below. She explains more of where the sounds come from in the mouth and also the long and short pronunciations together, as well as the history of the language being called Samskrta originally. Hope this helps!

Hello everyone!

I apologize for the delay in my next post to this thread. I've put together a short lesson to help get familiar with the Samskrita letters and their pronunciations. I'll post short lessons like this one more often that use repeated letters to practice reading and writing small bits at a time. It is important to remember we will not rely on the English pronunciation when diving more into learning. It is my goal within the next month or two to have many brief letter lessons before we go into textbook starter lessons of conversation. Grammar in these lessons are not important at the moment. The order of the letter "I" will look odd, but not to worry about finding its place yet, just pronouncing it. One last note is that many Samskrita words are polysemous, meaning one word has multiple meanings. Samskrita in its grammar is limitless- an infinite amount of words could be created. In the ancient times, masters taught their students the language by subject or category- and above all- prioritized the spiritual significance of the language. In one of the lessons, I will create the names of the Gods, as the idea was given to me by Disciple Of The Serpent.

I will mention as well that I also speak fluent German if I can lend a hand translating, or if anyone desires a German thread.

I aplogoze I forgot one detail I wanted to add to this lesson. Based on the font, some letters will look different, such as an open or closed circle, or a line shortened, but it does not effect the word or pronunciation. It is simply a change in font and does not change the letter.
