You evidently did not read a single line of it. If you had, you could not have written what you have written above.
For instance, read this:
"The exact source(s) of 'Classical Sanskrit' remain(s) open. It can be
suspected that it is based on the Bardic language, akin to that of the
YajñagÄthÄs, with influences from the Colloquial/Educated Skt. of late Vedic, resulting in something like the language of Patañjali, ca. 150 B.C.' (p. 32).
Or this:
"It is known that Epic/Class. Skt. did not directly develop from (a particular) Vedic dialect, but that various regional features were intermingled.' (p. 50)
End of a useless discussion with this ignoramus.
