Yep. I’m going to learn Sanskrit in five to ten years, since India is supposed to be the birthplace for my following incarnation. I expect these skills to be pretty easily retrieved though the past life regression procedure.

It might not work that way, because any language requires not only learning but also maintenance. Otherwise, it’s doomed to forgetting, and the less you apply your acquired skill the faster it gets to oblivion (actually it’s not a total oblivion, but your knowledge drops far below the retrieval threshold). The saying ‘use it or lose it’ is perfectly applicable here.
What does the saying use it or lose it mean

Sure, but reaching the point of seamless integration via self study is a 'herculean' task for our 'lilliputian' brains. )))

So, your next incarnation is planned to be in the past? After all, Sanskrit is an historical language..

Jaya hey, by the way!

Don't be too fast to jump to conclusions, Croc. There're 14,000 native Sanskrit speakers(2001)

Ok, it was you who started it.

The 1991 and 2001, census of India recorded 49,736 and 14,135 persons, respectively, with Sanskrit as their native language.

So, in 10 years the number has shrunk from 100% to 28%. Makes me wonder.. How long do you plan to stay in your current body?

At least till the next end of the world and maybe a little bit longer. Trust me, Sanskrit hasn't extinct for eons of years and will never die out.

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics, btw.

Come on, Croc. Here we go again. What are you trying to prove with your last post? I stopped following you…Your original claim that Sanskrit is totally dead sounds wrong, and your attempt to build a linear trend with just two points and extrapolate it in the future is biased. Local folks propagate like rabbits, after all. Period.

Anyway,
“Sanscrit is the official language of Uttarkhand” (0:37). “Spoken Sanskrit is still used in a few traditional institutions of India” (1:10). How can it be possible if (according to you (?)) nobody speaks it?

Mattur a place near Manglore in Karnataka where people still speak Sanskrit (add in sanskrit):
Is it my fake?
