Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Dear friends, I need to translate the following English words as relating to levels of language skill into Sanskrit. I append my own attempts, but would welcome any improvements on them. The frame they should fit into is: "<avyak,rtena> Sa.msk,rtena upakara.na.m sambhavati" except for the last one which will be constructed with _asti_. basic -- avyaak,rta intermediate -- madhyastha advanced -- v,rddha, siddha near-native -- aajanmapraaya professional -- vaarttika native speaker -- aajanmabhaa.sit,r I'm a bit doubtful wether _bhaa.sit,r_ is appropriate when talking of a Sanskrit speaker, since _bhaa.saa_ normally refers to vernacular (Prakrit) rather than Sanskrit speech. Thanks in advance, /BP -- Benct Philip Jonsson -- melroch at melroch dot se "Maybe" is a strange word. When mum or dad says it it means "yes", but when my big brothers say it it means "no"!
