Would it be possible to send me Lily de Silva's 'Pali Primer' with answer
key as well, if you would be so kind?
Hello, List!
I just joined the list and am very excited about it. I know a few words of
Paali only, a little more than that of Samskrta which makes Paali slightly
less frightening <smile>. Actually, much less frightening.
A couple of questions:
Does Paali have sandhi between words, as does Samskrta? (It would seem not,
from what I've seen, but I just want to check that out.)
In which script is Paali most usually written? I am familiar with the
Devanagari script, but I've seen Sri Lankan websites where the Paali is
written in Sinhala script. *Is* there a "normal" script for Paali, or is it
simply written in whatever script the writer normally uses, i.e. Sinhala
script for Sinhala-speakers, Devanagari script for speakers of
Samskrta/Hindi-speakers, and presumably Roman script for speakers of
European languages?
