"Linguists?"


People claim to know this, that and so many other languages on their Resume. 

But do these people really know enough of those languages as had been claimed? 

I seriously doubt it! 

See, the one language that flows commonly in all languages is Sanskrit ! 

Except during seasonal floods and occasional flash floods (of emotions), it mostly lies undercurrent. 

The litmus test to gauge the beauty, elegance and degree of refinement of any given language is believed to be the quantity and quality of its Sanskrit content. The more of these two (quantity and quality), the more beautiful, elegant and refined the particular language is reckoned to be. 

Also, until and unless you know its Sanskrit, I (together with my trillion strong co-believing brethren) can't accept your claim to know any language. 

So, any sensible person worth his or her Sanskrit should basically know the mom and baap of all languages before claiming to know any single language! 

How can there be an offspring without the mom and baap of it? Simply illogical you know! 

That being so, I claim to know no language. A few of my friends are multilingual scholars though! 

So friends, can you still, in the light of the above, honestly believe, and confidently claim to know not one, but two, three or more of languages as given on your profile?
