Vyakarana

Vyakarana is the Sanskrit term for grammar, particularly the study of Sanskrit language structure. It encompasses rules for word formation, sentence construction, and the proper use of sounds and meanings. Vyakarana aims to ensure clarity and precision in communication, and it plays a crucial role in languages by providing a framework for understanding and creating meaningful sentences. The most prominent text on Vyakarana is Panini's "Ashtadhyayi," which systematically outlines these rules and had a profound influence on the development of linguistics, not just in India but worldwide.
