Change the IPA symbols for त,थ,द,ध from t,tʰ,d,dʰ to t̪ ,t̪ʰ ,d̪ ,d̪ʰ respectively which includes the diacritic for dental plosive which are missing from the original draft. This might unambiguously mistake it for foreign alveolar plosives.

== Article issues and concerns ==

:Greetings, Some suggestions. An "issue" is the article classification. The [[WP: B-class criteria| B-class criteria]] states: {{tq|The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited.}} The article fails this and the "hidden categories" show "Articles lacking reliable references from October 2014", and includes 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022, and at least one subsection "needs additional citations". It does not take an expert in sourcing to know that there are enough issues to not jive with the criteria. I am reassessing the article to C-class per the criteria.
:Article size. The article shows to be "95 kB (14849 words) "readable prose size"", but that is misleading. Block quotes and embedded lists are not counted but inline quotes are.
===Bloat===
:Some sections and subsections are rather long, even though there is a "main article" or "Further information" heading. The "Vedic Sanskrit" has the "Main article, of the same name, but the subsection is bloated and sporting "inline citation needed" tags. There are subsections, like "Accent", and a citation subsection tag.
===Notes and references===
:This, too me, is problematic. The first entry in the "Note" section actually starts "'''"In conclusion'''". All the main points, and any conclusions, from the sources should be in the article and not argued or clarified through the notes and references section. This is suppose to be an encyclopedia and not a dissertation.
:Getting rid of some of the bloat (The history section is the main one) may solve some inline citation needed issues and the article can be returned to B-class or better. -- [[User:Otr500|Otr500]] ([[User talk:Otr500|talk]]) 22:40, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

There are 11 entries in the "External links". An article can be promoted with none but three commonly used. Currently the section is a link farm and should be trimmed (maybe with a chainsaw) per ELPOINTS #3. -- Otr500 (talk) 00:14, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 30 March 2023

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]

Old German Words, Slavic Words which are corelated to Sanskrit
