The historic relations of Sindhi with Pali language
تلخیص
Pali is Buddhist religion's sacred language since antiquity as per
writings of the European classical linguists, though no more spoken; it is
used in the religious hymns, odes, incantations and sermons
ritualistically. Derived from the Mogadhi Prakrit, it’s a progeny of
Sanskrit. Etymologically meaning the Series or systematic order of the
Buddhistic books or tomes. Ernest Trumpp traces the very origin of
Sindhi from Sanskrit via the process of Pali. Bherumal is the first Sindhi
researcher who surmises Pali's tangible and conspicuous impact on
Sindhi language's birth and origin. Buddhists state that word Pali stand
for "nurture/ or nourishment"-the language which has nurtured sacred
doctrines, maxims and principles of Buddhism. Jairamdas Daulatram
maintains that Pali has evolved from Sanskrit and was prevalent in Sindh
in the classic times of the golden yore. Dr.Baloch determines
its ascendancy in 600 B.C. in Buddhistic Age Urgent research is in order
to hypothesize and conclude the exact connection / linkage lexical,
semantic and Grammatical between Pali and Sindhi languages since
evidence abounds about its existence during the Rai Dynasty in
Sindh .The cave writing by the saints and sages found inside the
Khirthar range bear testimony to the chronological pristine usage
of Devanagari scripted Pali in Sindh but the historic period is not
known and needs further serious in-depth research by the scholars.
