In Hinduism
Shiksha (linguistics: phonetics, phonology etc.)
Paniniya Shiksha (पाणिनीय शिक्षा, Pāṇinīya Śikṣā): Name of a traditional Hindu treatise on the subject of Shiksha (one of the six Vedangas, dealing with Sanskrit phonetics and phonology).
Pāṇinīyaśikṣā (पाणिनीयशिक्षा)describes the process of speech production involving both the mental and the physical faculties. When there is a desire to speak, a measured amount of the life breath (praṇa) is retained in the lungs. Then this breath moves upwards in the form of air stream, passes through the vocal cords (kaṇṭha) and sets them vibrating. This vibration makes the sound audible. In the articulation of a vowel sound, the air stream is allowed to flow without any obstruction through the oral and nasal cavities. Different vowels are articulated through lowering or rising of the tongue and also through rounding or un-rounding of the lips. A consonant sound (vyañjana) is articulated by the contact of the active articulator (such as tongue and lips) and the passive articulators (marked above).
Shiksha (शिक्षा, śikṣā) deals with Sanskrit linguistics and represents a branch of vedanga (vedic ancillary science). Shiksha deals with subjects such as phonetics, phonology, study of sound, letters of the Sanskrit alphabet and related topics. Much attention is also given to the study of recitation (patha) of Vedic verses.
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Pāṇinīyaśikṣā (पाणिनीयशिक्षा).—A short work on phonetics which is taken as a Vedāṇga work and believed to have been written by Pāṇini. Some say that the work was written by Pińgala.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
