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?

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

That the usage of statistics could either be a lie of all lies or a truth of all truths, depending on the point of view.

Somehow, they had not between 1991 and 2001. I guess, the rate of propagation of the local folks hugely depends on the 11-year solar cycle.

Gotcha.
