Nearly 80% of Indians today speak a language derived from Sanskrit. 🕉️

From Hindi to Bengali, Gujarati to Marathi, Odia to Kashmiri - the heartbeat of India still echoes with the sounds of Sanskrit.
A thread 🧵👇

1️⃣ Look at the map - states like UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab, J&K, Himachal have over 99% speakers of Sanskrit-derived tongues.

This means Sanskrit is not just ancient - it’s still alive in our everyday speech.

2️⃣ The Indo-Aryan language family, rooted in Sanskrit, includes:
Hindi
Marathi
Gujarati
Bengali
Punjabi
Odia
Kashmiri
Konkani
... and many more!

Together they cover 79.3% of India’s population.

3️⃣ Did you know?
Common words we use daily - Maa, Pita, Dukh, Anand, Prem, Dharma - are straight out of Sanskrit.
Even after 3000+ years, the core of Indian speech remains Sanskritized.

4️⃣ States like Kerala (0.7%), Tamil Nadu (2.9%), and Karnataka (19.4%) are dominated by Dravidian languages like Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam.
But even here - thousands of Sanskrit loanwords exist, especially in literature & rituals.

5️⃣ Global angle:
Sanskrit isn’t just Indian - it’s a mother language of many tongues worldwide.
Latin & Greek share roots with it.
English words like mother, brother, night, star sound strikingly similar to Sanskrit: Mātṛ, Bhrātṛ, Naktam, Tara.

6️⃣ This map is a reminder:
Civilizations may rise & fall, but language carries memory.

Sanskrit lives not as a “dead language,” but as the soul of Indian identity—flowing through the speech of millions.

7️⃣ Fun Twist:
Even tech giants like NASA & AI researchers are studying Sanskrit for its perfect grammar & computational structure.

The same language that shapes India’s mother tongues could shape the future of coding & AI.

🔚 Conclusion:
Sanskrit is not locked in temples or texts - it beats in the very words Indians speak every day.

A 5000-year-old voice still whispering in our tongues. 🕉️✨
