Ancient grammatical puzzle solved after 2,500 years
Learn more about the story here: https://bit.ly/SanskritGrammarPuzzleYT
A grammatical problem which has defeated Sanskrit scholars since the 5th Century BC has finally been solved by an Indian PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Dr Rishi Rajpopat made the breakthrough by decoding a rule taught by “the father of linguistics” Pāṇini.
The discovery makes it possible to 'derive' any Sanskrit word – to construct millions of grammatically correct words including ‘mantra’ and ‘guru’ – using Pāṇini’s revered ‘language machine’ which is widely considered to be one of the great intellectual achievements in history.
Leading Sanskrit experts have described Rajpopat’s discovery as ‘revolutionary’ and it could now mean that Pāṇini’s grammar can be taught to computers for the first time.
