Sanskrit is a classical language belonging to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages, arising in northwestern South Asia in the late Bronze Age. As the sacred language of Hinduism and classical Hindu philosophy, Sanskrit has had a profound impact on the languages and cultures of South, Southeast, and Eastern Asia. With a history spanning over 3,000 years, Sanskrit has been a lingua franca in ancient and medieval South Asia, and its influence can still be seen in the formal and learned vocabularies of many Asian languages. Today, Sanskrit continues to be an important part of Indian culture and identity, with many institutions and organizations working to preserve and promote the language.
