Likewise, in Sanskrit philosophy, post-Buddhist schools such as Shankara's Vedanta have been directly influenced both by Buddhist Philosophy and argumentation, with concomitant effects in the use of the language itself.
The philosophy of early Mahayana Buddhism found in Sanskrit and the Buddhism recorded in P&257;li are, in many respects, mutually opposed; however, historical sources indicate that these were not the only schools, nor the only languages, that participated in the debates within the Buddhist fold.
Sanskrit, P&257;li, and the Jain Prakrits, were all represented as the language spoken by the gods in the popular literature of the respective religions, and various claims as to the supernatural origins or supernatural efficacy were assigned to these Languages by their proponents.

 Transliteration - Encyclopedia of Authentic Hinduism
Hindi and Sanskrit alphabet is the same and its every consonant and vowel has very precise pronunciation (Article 30) which is not found in the English language (or any other language of the world).
This is the reason that the exact pronunciation of Hindi or Sanskrit words cannot be transliterated into English.
Thus, the English letters do not have a fixed, precise sound that could be used in all the situations, whereas the Hindi and Sanskrit letters have a definite and precise sound.
