	American Sanskrit Institute — Sanskrit, a Sacred Model of Language
		In a survival language, "I" is an effect of the cultural patterns already unconsciously established by the language.
		The next stage of establishing a sacred language is an intimacy with the other sounds of the language, becoming familiar with their exact location, savoring their delicacy, feeling their force and power, and the unique way they vibrate the body and atmosphere.
		The nature of a sacred language such as Sanskrit is the direct way that it models life, or accesses through the purity of its sound and rhythms, the perfection and beauty of life that we all experienced as children.

		The two languages are related but fundamentally different in sentence structure, in important grammatical features, such as case endings and the way verbs are inflected for person, number and gender, etc., and most noticeably in the area of vocabulary.
		She also explores what is involved in the process of modernisation, of making this language the formal language of the state, of the written media and of all forms of intellectual and creative pursuits and the consequences of this policy and practice.
		A common standard language is often an expression of a common culture -- as, for instance, in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where, despite long-established national borders and the existence of internal dialect variations the same standard language is used for writing, alongside a dialect- flavoured spoken standard for formal purposes.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hebrew Language and Literature
		Hebrew was the language spoken by the ancient Israelites, and in which were composed nearly all of the books of the Old Testament.
		Hebrew belongs to the great Semitic family of languages, the geographical location of which is principally in South-Western Asia, extending from the Mediterranean to the mountains east of the valley of the Euphrates, and from the mountains of Armenia on the north to the southern extremity of the Arabian Peninsula.
		Apart from its sacred character, the poetry of the Old Testament possesses the highest literary merit, and there is abundant evidence of the great influence it exercised on the religious and national life of the Hebrews.

	The Sacred Domain
		Traditional cultures accommodated both aspects (sacred and secular) of the human requirement, but the world-culture of this "late-time" (or "dark" epoch) is largely impulsed to suppress the urge to profundity upon which the sacred domain is founded.
		The sacred domain is the place where the truly human (and humanizing) culture of ecstasy is truly practiced, in the truest sense, assisted by cooperative association between people.
		Sacred culture is a matter of profound and intelligent and feelingly sensitive activity—always in the participatory, ego-surrendering, going-beyond disposition, rather than the analytical, separative, and controlling disposition.

	The Arabic Language
		The language of the Qur'an is known in the Western world as "classical Arabic"; among Islamic believers, however, it is known as al-Arabiyya.
		It is a linguistic truth that languages that are spoken only by small groups change very little; languages that are spoken by large groups—especially when foreign speakers are constantly entering that society—change fairly quickly and often drastically.
		The language is one of clarity, directness, and certainty—qualities that are hard to achieve in other languages.

		If Sacred Names adherents feel that the Greek New Testament is not the inspired word of God, they should not use it to try to prove their beliefs, because it is not logical or scholarly.
		The Sacred Names argument rests primarily on the assumption that the Hebrew language is some sort of sacred language to the exclusion of all other languages.

	Chronicles of Love & Resentment CCXXXIV
		Vico defines three corresponding types of originary language: the language of the gods (mute, gestural and/or graphic), the language of heroes (half-mute, half-spoken), and the mostly spoken language of the people.
		These languages are also described as coeval, and Vico variously describes the first linguistic signs as gestures, graphic representations, onomatopoetic sounds, emotional interjections, and rhythmic monosyllables derived from song.
		Yet after anthropologizing the sacred, Vico re-naturalizes it: rather than the Hobbesian fear of fellow human beings, the originary inspiration for the gentile sacred is the age-old tarte à la crème, terror at thunder and lightning.

		Over the next few years dozens of linguists and anthropologists are expected to start "mining" Ch'orti language and culture for words and expressions relating to everything from blood-letting to fasting.

		Sanskrit is the ancient literary and classical language of India, the sacred language of the Hindu religion.
