Hello everybody,

I just want to share with you what I know about Sanskrit. Please correct me, if I am not right.

Sanskrit is not a language spoken by anybody, but it is developed by Odhuvar or priests for praising God, and pronouncing Mandhirangal(Manthras) two millennium ago. Odhuvar were those who involved only in conducting Sacred rituals in Daily Poosai(Pooja) and pronouncing Mandhirangal(Manthras).

Only Odhuvar knew Sanskrit and they used only in Temple for pronouncing Mandhirangal (Manthras). In day to day life, Odhuvar spoke tamizh.

After some period, Odhuvar claimed that Sanskrit was Language of God.

Odhuvar became Brahmin, who are still conducting rituals in temple and pronouncing Mandhirangal (Manthras).

New information - Few days back, Kalaingar announced that anybody can become Archagar(priest). I appreciate his move. on this. I also read that Brahmins opposed this.

We also must bear in mind that most writers and poets in Sanskrit apaarently were not Brahmanas. Vethavyasan (Mahabharatha) was of ftraditionally fisherman profression. Vaalmiki was an Athivasi.(hunter).
Researchers say many of the veda composers were also not BrahmaNa.
The connection between Br and Sans is that Sanskirt is their "working" language when they perform the priestly job. Even Kamban who translated Ramayana from Sans to Tamiz was no BrahmaNa.

People of other religions such as Jains and Bhuddists had/have also used Sanskrit (or some related language)

It is just a language there for anybody who wants to use it.
