Comment Comment by guideamigo Shiv sutra contains all sounds of classical Sanskrit exactly once.It does not contain all sounds of verify Sanskrit though. For example, retroflex L is missing.Counterintuitively, shiv sutra does not contain all sounds of modern Indian languages like Hindi or Marathi either.Modern Indian languages derive vocabulary and phonemes from both prakrit ("natural") and Sanskrit ("well-done"). parent guideamigo 3 years ago
