Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit (BHS) is a modern linguistic category applied to a number of languages used in some of the Mahāyāna Buddhist sutras, such as the Perfection of Wisdom sutras.
Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit is primarily studied in the modern world in order to study the Buddhist teachings that it records, and to study the development of Indo-Aryan languages.
Compared to Pali and Classical Sanskrit, comparatively little study has been made of Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit, in part because of the fewer available writings, and in part because of the view of some scholars that BHS is not distinct enough from Sanskrit to comprise a separate linguistic category.

According to Buddhist tradition, Ananda, who was present at more of the Buddha's sermons than any of his other disciples, recited all of the sutras (discourses of the Buddha) from memory, beginning with the famous statement, "Thus have I heard." Also according to tradition, Upali is then said to have recited the entire Vinaya.
Therefore, since all of the Indian Buddhist monks were said to have convened and recited the entire canon, word for word, without discrepancy, this very canon (which has been passed down to the Theravada tradition) must be the one authentic, complete anthology of Buddhist scripture.
Chinese Buddhist studies remains a small part of the field of Buddhist studies, but it is rapidly growing as its importance in the field as a whole is becoming recognized.
