Hello All,

I have a question about Pali-Sanskrit-Thai. Many Modern English words have
Latin roots; but it doesn���t mean you know Latin. I know Thai has a lot of
Pali words, mostly because Buddhism is such a large part of the culture.
But I don���t know if it is ���recognizable��� as Pali. I do know if I
can���t find a Buddhist term to change the spelling a little for a Sanskrit
word. But other than that, I have no experience with Sanskrit. Leading me
to wonder how much Pali is built in to Sanskrit?

Can anyone tell me which pronunciation is closer to pure Pali, Thai or
Sanskrit? And how much does knowing Pali actually help in learning Thai or
Sanskrit?

Thanks
