Dear Yong Peng,
I don't think it is correct to say sakaya niruttiya but you should various prakrit languages .In pali we find sakaya niruttiya (gen sin) buddhavacanam(tappurisa gen),we can also sakayaniruttiya mahavira for jain ardha maghadhi and sanskrit sakaya nirttiya for people like panini etc.
com didn't explain why those two people think various gotta can be thinking maghadha language can be (dusenti) corrupted but not learning in also one language-vedic sakata (sanskrit language.I am still thinking about it-maybe they are more people know vedic sans.
