That's not the only script that Sanskrit was written in. Devanagari wasn't even the first script that Sanskrit was written in. In fact Sanskrit did not have an 'official' script. Marathi and Gujarati also uses Devanagari with a few minor differences.
- dagmx 6y agoFor sure, I should have expanded that I only meant to say Hindi is a good gateway for learning Sanskrit today when most Sanskrit is represented most similarly to Hindi. There’s a lot more resources for Hindi than Sanskrit and IMHO it’s the fastest path. I wasn’t speaking for historical accuracy or commenting on other languages.
