Help on Sanskrit Words

Hi can someone help me in pointing out the "polluted in" words by Sanskrit on Tamil? To be clear i want sanskrit words not used in Tamil. Thanks. Puppet reel (talk) 06:23, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Half of Tamil will be gone of you remove Sanskrit from Tamil. Be it New Tamil or Old Tamil (which is more Sanskritised). Almost all of the philosophical and scientific terminologies in Tolkāppiyam have originated from Sanskrit. Sanskrit has been in use from Cholan Dynasty, whose rulers claim they are direct descendents of Lord Rama. Yeshehat (talk) 16:36, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Phálam is not of proto Dravidian origin

Proto Dravidian is a completely reconstructed and speculative language, which means modern linguists created these words, which means there is no 1st source that has Paḷam as a fruit. Matter of fact meaning of Phálam in Sanskrit as fruit is only a part of it (abbreviations according to any model dictionary ; You'll see, in definition of Phála many words such as, Krishna, Ratnava, etc. They're to be prefixed with the main word Phála, i.e. Phálakrishna, Phálaratnava, etc.):-

फ - pha (only L.), mfn. manifest; m. a gale; swelling; gaping; gain ; ^vardhaka; =yak- s/ia-iiiil/iann ; n. flowing; bursting with a popping noise ; bubbling, boiling ; angry or idle speech.

I hope with above evidence, Phalam as a sanskrit word is noticed of. Yeshehat (talk) 16:24, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Why changes are being reverted?

I've given enough evidence for my edits, why people are persistent to change it back @Austronesier: Yeshehat (talk) 18:51, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

The material you have deleted is supported by two sources. If you have a reliable source of the same calibre as Burrows and Parpola that debunks the etymology of phala, you can cite it. Otherwise, the musings of an anonymous WP editor (like most of us are) don't outweigh scholarly works, per WP policy and also basic common sense. –Austronesier (talk) 10:55, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

The sources are not getting published, I'm trying again Yeshehat (talk) 14:10, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

As I told, Proto-Dravidian is a completely reconstructed language. A reconstructed language cannot "debunk" a historical language or its etymology. Here are the sources:-

Very intellectual. So the "modern scholarly sources" will overcross the very creator of that language? More importantly even if you are overlooking the creator of Classical Sanskrit, Dakṣiputra Pāṇini, there are known modern scholars such as Professor E. Leumann, Ph.D. of the University Of Strassburg, Professor C. Cappeller, Ph.D.

Of The University Of Jena, Otto Bohtlingk and Rudolf Roth,

Professor A. Weber of Berlin. And of course, Monier Monier-Williams, elected to the Boden Professorship in the University of Oxford, the well known scholar and author of the book "Sanskrit-English dictionary etymologically and philologically arranged" is academically published by Oxford Press or University Press, Oxfors.

MOS:ERA

This article has long used CE/BCE to refer to the eras. A few hours back Prophet of Truth and Knowledge (talk · contribs) changed that to AD/BC throughout the article with the edit-summary "If people are offended by the gregorian calender then they're free to use other calenders.". I reverted their edit and informed them about the relevant guideline MOS:ERA, which says An article's established era style should not be changed without reasons specific to its content; seek consensus on the talk page first (applying Wikipedia:Manual of Style § Retaining existing styles) by opening a discussion under a heading using the word era, and briefly stating why the style should be changed. Unfortunately, instead of following that advice they simply reerted back to their preferred version. So I am starting this discussion to give them an oppurtunity to explain their edit-warring and so that others can chime in. Abecedare (talk) 00:07, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Hmm. "Long" but not always - it was begun using BC/AD & used that for many years until a no doubt undiscussed and illegal change in late 2007. As I'm sure you know, that is a factor under WP:ERA. Personally, I generally prefer BC, but used to use BCE on Indian articles until I realised that a high proportion of Indian readers don't know what it means (sometimes they ask). Now I use BC (mostly). Johnbod (talk) 01:04, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

CE/BCE is modern usage used worldwide in all English language academic sources. Style guides for journal and book submissions require them.

If some Indian readers know "Before Christ" and "Anno Domini," their knowledge of Christ (let alone Latin) is rote. In other words, the proportion of Christians who know Latin in the Indian population is small. Similarly, some aging Indians very likely know SOS (Save Our Soul) or E&OE (Errors and Omissions Excepted), or at least that is what authors such as Salman Rushdie and his clones—who have made their careers parodying Indian English for Western readers—think they know.

The use of BC and AD in an article such as Sanskrit, which predates all notions of Christianity or the Gregorian calendar by more than a millennium, would be doubly meaningless. George Cardona, for example, in the Britannica article "Sanskrit language," uses only one notation: "the Rigveda (“The Veda Composed in Verses”), which scholars generally ascribe to approximately 1500 BCE. ... one of the finest grammars ever produced, the Aṣṭādhyāyī (“Eight Chapters”) composed by Pāṇini (c. 6th–5th century BCE). ... known from the time of Kātyāyana (4th–3rd century BCE) ... the pinnacle of which is represented by the Vākyapadīya (“Treatise on Sentence and Word”) of Bhartṛhari (late 6th–7th century CE)" and so forth.
