The Charyapada

**The Charyapada,** a collection of mystical poems and songs rediscovered in royal library of Nepal in 1907, is commonly accepted to have been composed and compiled between 8th and 12th centuries CE by 23 Siddhacharyas (tantric masters) of Vajrayana tradition of Buddhism from the tantric traditions of Odisha, Assam, Bengal and Bihar.

This verse (from [Charyapada Verse 10](https://youtu.be/gTk86O3qiaw?si=ykbh7SaLRB6dXJ9D)), composed by Kānhapāda(Kānhuipā), is a cornerstone of Eastern Indo-Aryan languages. It serves as a "linguistic blueprint", demonstrating the common *Abahatta* (Apabhramsha) roots that evolved into modern Odia, Assamese, Bangla, Maithili, Magahi and other East Indo-Aryan languages.

Especially for Odia and Bangla speakers, the striking resemblance is unmistakable. The syntax and vocabulary have remained remarkably intact for over a thousand years.

Konkani names of Goa's villages, towns and cities

Was fed up of the butchering of Goa's place names. So I made this map a year back with the original Konkani names of the places in Goa. If you'll have any corrections or additions especially in South Goa please do let me know.

Goa's Konkani name should also have been mentioned which I missed out.

Goa: गोंय/Gõy/Goem

Do Tamil Muslims really have their own Tamil dialect?

I have 1 IRL Gujarati friend from Vellore

He said that dialect of Tamil spoken by Muslim communities in Tamil Nadu sounds different from Standard Tamil or other dialects of Tamil

And also he mentioned that he heard many that he couldn't even understand it

Is there any Tamilar or 1 from Tamil Nadu who can explain this and also tell that do Tamil Muslims have its own Tamil dialect especially in Vellore side

Ashokan Prakrit

(Picture is the Ashokan Prakrit inscribed in the Brahmi Script at Sarnath)

Ashokan Prakrit is the Middle Indo-Aryan dialect continuum used in the Edicts of Ashoka, attributed to the emperor Ashoka of the Mauryan Empire. The Edicts are inscriptions on monumental pillars and rocks throughout the Indian subcontinent that cover Aahoka's conversion to Buddhism and espouse Buddhist principles. Ashokan is descended from an Old Indo-Aryan dialect closely related to Vedic Sanskrit, on occasion diverging preserving archaisms from Proto-Indo-Aryan. Ashokan Prakrit is attested in the Brahmi script but it was also written in the Kharoshthi script in the north-west.

Ok thats all and bye
