	The Hindu : Karnataka News : An institute dedicated to the promotion of Prakrit
		In ancient India, Sanskrit was spoken only by Brahmins while Prakrit was the language of the common man. Jains used the people's language to promote their philosophy and it is because of this reason that most of the Jain literature is in Prakrit languages.
		Ardhamagadhi (the language of the people who lived in Magadha between 600 BC and 100 AD), Shouraseni (the language spoken in the Mathura region; Digambara Jains used this language), Jain Maharashtri (the language in which Agamic Jain literature is found) and Apabransh (used in the medieval period) are some of the prominent Prakrit languages.
		As knowledge of the languages is crucial to gain an insight into Jain philosophy, Sreekshetra Shravanabelagola has taken interest in preserving manuscript in Prakrit and encouraging studies and research in the language.
