@Randomreview,

Tamil sounding more like Tamil? ;-P



Oh dear. I'll edit that one out, thanks.

No earlier than 2013, eh? Perhaps my French will be up to snuff by then so that I can
follow along. I'll have to review Egenes' "Intro to Sanskrit" before then, however, which
is a wonderful book I'd recommend to even the most cursorily interested in the language.

I've never purchased a single Clay Sanskrit Library volume because of that hideous
romanization. Fittingly, the Murty Classical Library of India will use the
corresponding native script for the original-language side of every title. I'll order
each of them for certain as they're released.


Is romanizing Sanskrit really all that bad? It looks nice and all; but from my
understanding, Devanagari isn't Sanskrit's "native" script.

When I saw the subject of this thread, for some reason I thought it was "Pimsleur
Sanskrit"!

Of course not.
In Tamil Nadu, Sanskrit is written in Tamil script,
in Kerala, children learn Sanskrit written in Malayalam script (and and not in [dev'nagri]).

So is it true that most of the Sanskrit books, research - anything related to Sanskrit
that are produced in modern times are written in Devanagari?

And is it true that most of the original "old" scripts fortunate enough to see the light
of today are in Devanagari?
