LING 11.27 History and Structure of Sanskrit

This class introduces students to the core phonological and grammatical structures of Sanskrit, and also explains how those structures developed from prehistory through the classical period.  By the end of the term, students will be able to read and write simple sentences in Sanskrit, using the Devan\u0101gar\u012B writing system, and will have learned how Sanskrit is related to other Indo-European languages such as English, Latin, and Greek.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
