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.

The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
