A note on preservation of language in ancient time

In the age of present day, preservation of languages can be viewed through the effortsof the government policies and the effective use of technology. The languagepreservation has two aspects. To encourage its use in more and more domains is oneaspect. Putting emphasis on purity, eliminating influence of other languages is anotheraspect of preserving the same. The new generation could be encouraged to learn thelanguage which is to be preserved through the educational policies, thus, handing over itto the next generation. World wide efforts are made to preserve the spoken form of theendangered languages through audiotapes, videotapes, and apps and other machine tools.Sanskrit is one of the oldest preserved languages of the world. In the Indian subcontinent,it is handed down from centuries together till today in oral and written forms. In ancientperiod, when several forms of the language were in use, one of the verities was codifiedby the rules of grammar which later on came to be known as Sanskrit. The textscomposed in Sanskrit are handed down from generation to generation in oral and writtentradition. Sanskrit is an exemplifier of successful language preservation through ages.
