It is the language that constitutes the oldest layer of the Indo-European language family, the Indic language. It is close to Avestan, the oldest layer of the Iranian language family. It was brought to India by the Aryans who invaded and settled there at the end of the Indus civilization. It has a huge amount of literature on mythology, rituals, and philosophy, from the Rigveda around 1200 BC to the Upanishads around 200 BC. It is a typical inflected language with complex case changes and verb declensions, and the grammarian Panini, who lived in the 5th to 4th century BC, compiled and standardized the grammar, establishing Sanskrit. ◇Vedic in English.

Japanese:
インドヨーロッパ語族に属するインド語派の最古層をなす言語。イラン語派の最古層のアベスタ語と近い。インダス文明の末期にインドに侵入、定着したアーリア人がもたらした。紀元前1200年ごろの『リグベーダ』から前200年ごろに至るウパニシャッドまで、神話、祭式、哲学に関する膨大な量の文献をもつ。典型的な屈折語で複雑な格変化と動詞の曲用をおこない、前5~前4世紀の文法学者パーニニがその文法をまとめ規範化してサンスクリットを確立させた。◇英語でVedic。
