Hello Wikipedians, A new way to contribute to Samskrit is here!!!! The Samskrit Wikiquote is officially open for contributions. Thanks to all the people who have striven hard to make it count. The webpage can be found at *sa.wikiquote.org* <http://sa.wikiquote.org> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sumana <sumana.koundinya(a)gmail.com> Namaste, It is with immense pleasure, I wish to announce that Samskrit Wikiquote project ( *विकिसूक्तिः*) is out of Incubator and is available as an open source project like Wikipedia now. It was in a dormant stage with very limited editing options and visibility since its inception. We had started our efforts towards this in August 2012, persuading Wikipedia Language Committee. Over 7000 system messages were translated to samskrit, some 800 articles of useful content related to this project were created and uploaded, which were some of the requirements to approve new projects.Thanks to dedicated Wikipedians like Shiju Alex, that today we have the project out of incubator, which means, this project would be readily available for everyone to edit and use now on. The project is a store house of Subhashitas extracted from different scriptures like Veda, Upanishat Puraana, RamayaNa, Mahabharatam etc, categorised based on the topics with explanations. Also, it contains the idioms and phrases, witty puzzles, sayings of great people, Chitrakaavyam etc, everything in Samskrit. It is to be noted that all these, in a single webpage is not available anywhere else in such an easily available form. We have about 1260 pages under various categories, for a ready review at *sa. wikiquote.org* I request everyone to visit once for guidance, comments or contributions... Once again, Congratulations to one and all who have been instrumental in crossing this milestone... Thanks and Warm Regards, Dr Sumana Wikipedia Wing, Samskrita Bharati 98807 93423 -- Thanks & Regards, Abhiram C, Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org> Editor, User: sbblr0803 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sbblr0803>

Regarding preceding mail chain, It should be 'Sanskrit' rather than 'Samskrit' .Please correct me if I am wrong. Congrats to all who helped Sanskrit board the wiki. On 2/10/13, Vishnu t <visdaviva(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Gaurav, The term "Sanskrit" is one that was started by the Westerners who found it difficult to pronounce "Samskritam/Samskrit". You too could try pronouncing the word Samskritam in English accent which will lead you to Sanskrit. Its better we stick to our basics and call it Samskritam.

I think it's more a region specific spelling/pronunciation. If you look at the few variations of the pronunciation it might be more clear: Northern India: Saan-skrit Eastern India: Sans-krut, San-su-ta, San-skru-ta Southern India: Sam-srkuta, Sam-skrita In writing it is Sanskrit, a term coined by the Britishers. The fight would never end to reach a consensus for a common spelling! I think it's more important to appreciate the effort Samskritha Bharathi and all the Sanskrit Wikipedians put for. Bringing more editors and creating content will not only be helpful for Kannada language, it will help help other languages as well. Best!
