Change "Fruther reading" to "Further reading", assuming it is a typo. Vanitasvanitatum69 (talk) 23:40, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Vanitasvanitatum69 for spotting that typo. But instead of simply fixing the spelling, I have removed the section itself since its only content was a specialized scholarly article that IMO would not be too relevant to readers of an introductory article on "Sanskrit", such as this one. I am copying that source here though, incase anyone want to use it as a source for a specific existing or new claim in the bosy of this or related article.

"Revival"

Sanskrit is a classical language since Millenia, therefore the quantity of fluent speakers is way more relevant than of native. However, is it needed 10 different sources to emphasize that in the whole 1.4 billion people of India there's not one native speaker? What is this? Really, I'm brazillian and this kind of high ideological hate makes Wikipedia disgusting, or, at least, english language based wikipedia... Have some shame, people. 191.210.247.108 (talk) 22:44, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
