SAN 506: First-Year Sanskrit I Dr. Claire Maes SAN 506: First-Year Sanskrit I “Vālmīki converses with the sage Nārada” Seventeenth century Mewar manuscript of the Rāmāyaṇa (British Library) Svāgatam! स्वागतम् | Welcome! Course Objectives and Outcomes This course is the first semester of a complete introduction to the Sanskrit language. You will learn many essentials of Sanskrit grammar including present and past tense verbs, nominal declensions, participles, infinitives, gerunds, and compounds. You will also learn Devanāgarī (a script in which Sanskrit, as well as other South Asian languages, is commonly written). You will learn to recite Sanskrit verses, compose simple sentences, and you will discover the many different types of literary production that are written in Sanskrit (for example, law codes, ritual manuals, medical treatises, and love poems), as well as learn about the cultural contexts that produced them. You will also begin to translate original Sanskrit literature. Some say Sanskrit is a “dead” language, but through this course you will find that this ancient language is very much alive in music, literature, drama, politics, yoga studios, popular culture and in everyday life in South Asia and beyond. Textbooks (required): A.M. Ruppel. The Cambridge Introduction to Sanskrit. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2017.

These will often involve participation in South Asia Institute talks or outreach projects, in the Dept. of Asian Studies’ Rāmāyaṇa Colloquium, or other South Asia-related campus events. Mental Health Resources Mental health concerns such as anxiety, stress, and depression are very common among college students. If you are struggling with any of these or other mental health concerns, you are not alone! I encourage you to seek help and to encourage others who need help to do so. There is a 24/7 Crisis Line for UT students: 512-471-CALL (2255). Additionally, the UT Counseling and Mental Health Center (CMHC) can be reached at 512-471-3515 during regular hours. There are a variety of self-care programs (MindBody Labs, etc.) available to students in addition to more traditional counseling services. University Policies: Honor Code: The core values of UT Austin are learning, discovery, freedom, leadership, individual opportunity, and responsibility.

  • An Introduction to Indic Scripts
    An Introduction to Indic Scripts Richard Ishida W3C [email protected] HTML version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.html PDF version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.pdf Introduction This paper provides an introduction to the major Indic scripts used on the Indian mainland. Those addressed in this paper include specifically Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu. I have used XHTML encoded in UTF-8 for the base version of this paper. Most of the XHTML file can be viewed if you are running Windows XP with all associated Indic font and rendering support, and the Arial Unicode MS font. For examples that require complex rendering in scripts not yet supported by this configuration, such as Bengali, Oriya, and Malayalam, I have used non- Unicode fonts supplied with Gamma's Unitype. To view all fonts as intended without the above you can view the PDF file whose URL is given above. Although the Indic scripts are often described as similar, there is a large amount of variation at the detailed implementation level. To provide a detailed account of how each Indic script implements particular features on a letter by letter basis would require too much time and space for the task at hand. Nevertheless, despite the detail variations, the basic mechanisms are to a large extent the same, and at the general level there is a great deal of similarity between these scripts. It is certainly possible to structure a discussion of the relevant features along the same lines for each of the scripts in the set.

Introduction Kharosthi was one of the major scripts of the Indian subcontinent in the early period. In the list of 64 scripts occurring in the Lalitavistara (3rd century CE), a text in Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit, Kharosthi comes second after Brahmi. Thus both of them were considered to be two major scripts of the Indian subcontinent. Both Kharosthi and Brahmi are first encountered in the edicts of Asoka in the 3rd century BCE. 2. Discovery of the script and its Decipherment The script was first discovered on one side of a large number of coins bearing Greek legends on the other side from the north western part of the Indian subcontinent in the first quarter of the 19th century. Later in 1830 to 1834 two full inscriptions of the time of Kanishka bearing the same script were found at Manikiyala in Pakistan. After this discovery James Prinsep named the script as ‘Bactrian Pehelevi’ since it occurred on a number of so called ‘Bactrian’ coins. To James Prinsep the characters first looked similar to Pahlavi (Semitic) characters.

  • 3 Writing Systems
    Writing Systems 43 3 Writing Systems PETER T. DANIELS Chapters on writing systems are very rare in surveys of linguistics – Trager (1974) and Mountford (1990) are the only ones that come to mind. For a cen- tury or so – since the realization that unwritten languages are as legitimate a field of study, and perhaps a more important one, than the world’s handful of literary languages – writing systems were (rightly) seen as secondary to phonological systems and (wrongly) set aside as unworthy of study or at best irrelevant to spoken language. The one exception was I. J. Gelb’s attempt (1952, reissued with additions and corrections 1963) to create a theory of writ- ing informed by the linguistics of his time. Gelb said that what he wrote was meant to be the first word, not the last word, on the subject, but no successors appeared until after his death in 1985.1 Although there have been few lin- guistic explorations of writing, a number of encyclopedic compilations have appeared, concerned largely with the historical development and diffusion of writing,2 though various popularizations, both new and old, tend to be less than accurate (Daniels 2000). Daniels and Bright (1996; The World’s Writing Systems: hereafter WWS) includes theoretical and historical materials but is primarily descriptive, providing for most contemporary and some earlier scripts information (not previously gathered together) on how they represent (the sounds of) the languages they record. This chapter begins with a historical-descriptive survey of the world’s writ- ing systems, and elements of a theory of writing follow.

  • Initial Literacy in Devanagari: What Matters to Learners
    Initial literacy in Devanagari: What Matters to Learners Renu Gupta University of Aizu 1. Introduction Heritage language instruction is on the rise at universities in the US, presenting a new set of challenges for language pedagogy. Since heritage language learners have some experience of the target language from their home environment, language instruction cannot be modeled on foreign language instruction (Kondo-Brown, 2003). At the same time, there may be significant gaps in the learner’s competence; in describing heritage learners of South Asian languages, Moag (1996) notes that their acquisition of the native language has often atrophied at an early stage. For learners of South Asian languages, the writing system presents an additional hurdle. Moag (1996) states that heritage learners have more problems than their American counterparts in learning the script; the heritage learner “typically takes much more time to master the script, and persists in having problems with both reading and writing far longer than his or her American counterpart” (page 170). Moag attributes this to the different purposes for which learners study the language, arguing that non-native speakers rapidly learn the script since they study the language for professional purposes, whereas heritage learners study it for personal reasons. Although many heritage languages, such as Japanese, Mandarin, and the South Asian languages, use writing systems that differ from English, the difficulties of learning a second writing system have received little attention. At the elementary school level, Perez (2004) has summarized differences in writing systems and rhetorical structures, while Sassoon (1995) has documented the problems of school children learning English as a second script; in addition, Cook and Bassetti (2005) offer research studies on the acquisition of some writing systems.

  • A FORMAL COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS of INDIC SCRIPTS Richard Sproat University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
    A FORMAL COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF INDIC SCRIPTS Richard Sproat University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Introduction The Brahmi-derived Indic scripts occupy a special place in the study of writing systems. They are alphasyllabic scripts (Bright, 1996a) (though Daniels (1996) prefers the term abugida), meaning that they are basically segmental in that almost all segments are represented in the script, yet the fundamental organizing principle of the script is the (orthographic) syllable: crudely, an orthographic syllable — aks.ara — in an Indic script consists of a consonantal core consisting of one or more consonant symbols, with the vowels variously arranged around the core. The one exception to the principle that segments are repre- sented is the inherent vowel, usually a schwa or /a/-like phoneme: when the consonantal core is marked with no vowel, it is interpreted as hav- ing the inherent vowel (though phonological rules such as Hindi schwa- deletion (Ohala, 1983), can complicate this characterization). Brahmi-derived scripts are by no means the only scripts that are ba- sically segmental but have the syllable as an organizing principle: no- table other scripts are Ethiopic (Haile, 1996) and Korean Hankul (King, 1996); there have been claims that the latter is derived from Indic scripts, though King notes (page 219) that there have been “no less than ten different ‘origin theories’.”1 But Brahmi scripts are indubitably the most successful, spawning not only several scripts in the Indian sub- continent, but also spreading into Southeast Asia and spawning scripts such as Thai and Lao (Diller, 1996), and even arguably influencing the development in modern times of the Pahawh Hmong messianic script (Smalley, Vang, and Yang, 1990; Ratliff, 1996).

  • Masterworks a Journey Through Himalayan Art Large Labels
    MASTERWORKS A JOURNEY THROUGH HIMALAYAN ART MODEL OF THE MAHABODHI TEMPLE Eastern India, probably Bodhgaya; ca. 11th century Stone (serpentinite) Rubin Museum of Art Purchased with funds from Ann and Matt Nimetz and Rubin Museum of Art C2019.2.2 According to Buddhist tradition, Bodhgaya is the place where the Buddha meditated under the bodhi tree and attained his awakened state. Mahabodhi Temple was built to commemorate this event at this site during the reign of Ashoka (ca. 268–232 BCE), the famed patron of Buddhism credited with building many temples and stupas. It attained the form seen in this model in the fifth to sixth century. A pilgrimage site revered across the Buddhist world, Mahabodhi Temple was often reproduced as portable pilgrimage souvenirs like this one. Such replicas also enshrined symbolic representations of the site, such as bodhi leaves, which were considered relics. Seeing a replica of the temple served as a substitute for those who couldn’t visit the site in person, and it acted as a symbol of remembrance for those who did. Small models like this one have been found in Burma and Tibet, and full-scale temple replicas were constructed in places like Nepal and Beijing. This model was likely created in Bodhgaya itself. It represents what the temple may have looked like in the eleventh century, shortly before it fell into ruin. 850 CROWNED BUDDHA Northeastern India; Pala period (750–1174), 10th century Stone Rubin Museum of Art C2013.14 For early Tibetan Buddhists the holy sites of northeastern India were important pilgrimage sites.
