Sanskrit was created thousands of years ago; it is, in actuality, the world's oldest language. Also, it is still in use, although a small number of people use it. Nearly ten thousand years ago.

Sanskrit was not created by Iranian or Aryans. That fictitious theory was fabricated by the Euro-centric British historians. Arayn is a sanskrit word meaning "civilised." They would call each other that for respect - It is what "mr" is to-day. The Modern research has voided all such theories concerning Aryan invasion. The Indus fell due to the drying of the Saraswati River. The people migrated.

Also, It is the most precise language in the world. Forbes magazine said also that it is the best computer language. Its organisation is superb; for all the characters are organised by the place the come from in the mouth.

The earliest attested Sanskrit texts are Hindu texts of the Rigveda, which date to the mid-to-late second millennium BCE. No written records from such an early period survive. However, scholars are confident that the oral transmission of the texts is reliable: they were ceremonial literature whose correct pronunciation was considered crucial to its religious efficacy.

From the Rigveda until the time of Pāṇini (fl. 4th century BCE) the development of the Sanskrit language may be observed in other Vedic texts: the Samaveda, Yajurveda, Atharvaveda, Brahmanas, and Upanishads. During this time, the prestige of the language, its use for sacred purposes, and the importance attached to its correct enunciation all served as powerful conservative forces resisting the normal processes of linguistic change. However, there is a clear, five-level linguistic development of Vedic from the Rigveda to the language of the Upanishads and the earliest Sutras (such as Baudhayana)

The oldest surviving Sanskrit grammar is Pāṇini's Aṣṭādhyāyī ("Eight-Chapter Grammar"). It is essentially a prescriptive grammar, i.e., an authority that defines correct Sanskrit, although it contains descriptive parts, mostly to account for some Vedic forms that had become rare in Pāṇini's time.
