Abstract
Language means sophisticated communication developed for interaction between humans with a certain commonality in their backgrounds. Today we merely learn a language and carry on to communicate with others familiar with the same language for the rest of our life. We forget to appreciate and give thought to creating such a complex uniformity amongst the then `unintelligent` beings. The oldest language known to have been conversed in by humans on Earth, Sanskrit, is the Mother of all languages. While even theorizing about its creation is strenuous, its origin is fortunately not a mystery. The entire process was documented by the students of Mahari?i P??ini, who is considered the creator of Sanskrit. Primarily, P??ini created a treatise on Sanskrit grammar named A???dhy?y?. This served as an outlay for building the main structure of Sanskrit. Correlating with today`s programming world, P??ini primarily made an outlay of programming language syntax and then put together the pieces to form a compact, well-defined programming language. This analogy potentially highlights the main aim and objective of this paper: to explore the existence of Sanskrit as more than a language, as a Programming Language.
