Sanskrit as Link Language and Devanagiri as Common Script continues...
Artificial Intelligence will revolutionize all sciences in another fifty years and Sanskrit is the best language for it. It is a pity that we Indians, the inventors of Sanskrit, have to learn these facts from foreigners, but it is better late than never.
Three decades after trying to make natural languages compatible to computer programming, scientists have begun to realize that they were beaten to it 2,600 years ago. Though much removed in time, space and culture, a 7th century B.C. Sanskrit grammarian seems to have provided all the answers to today’s computer problems: that Sanskrit is well suited for encrypting without ambiguity.
The grammarian Panini is now being called the first software man, without the hardware. And the focus is on the roughly 4,000 rules of Sanskrit grammar that he evolved. Rules that are so scientific and logical in manner that they closely resemble structures used by computer scientists throughout the world.
How does Panini’s grammar work? Grammar is basically an abstraction of the language. As a rule, grammar is usually written after a language has developed. Sanskrit has other forms of grammar, but Panini’s is the only one which with only 4,000 rules, successfully covers almost the entire range. And each word under the Panini grammar can be traced back to its root, quite akin in form and essence to computer language like say COBOL or FORTRAN
In a natural language, for instance English, ambiguity is inherent in a large number of utterances. A crude example would be the word “bank” – as in a river bank, or a commercial bank. Another hindrance is syntax which for all intents and purposes, is independent of meaning. So computer scientists would like to eliminate such ambiguity. Scientists say the degree to which a language sounds ambiguous and cumbersome is the degree to which that language is “natural” and deviates from precise or “artificial”.
