[edit] इतिहास:
विश्वस्य आदिम: ग्रन्थ: 'ऋग्वेद:'(३५०० BC) संस्कृतभाषायामेवास्ति. अन्ये च वेद: यथा यजुर्वेद:, सामवेद:, अथर्वेदश्च संस्कृतभाषायामेव सन्ति. The oldest surviving Sanskrit grammar is पाणिनि's c. 500 BC Ạṣtādhyāyī. A form of Sanskrit called Epic Sanskrit is seen in the महाभारत and इतिहास-पुराण.

[edit] रूप एवं वाक्य-विज्ञान
१. बहुव्रीहि
-
- बहुव्रीहि, or much-rice, denotes a rich person--one who has much rice. Bahuvrihi compounds refer to a thing which is not specified in any of the parts of which the compound is formed. A block-head, for example, is someone whose head is said to be as thick as a block.
२. कर्मधारीय
-
- A compound in which all of the words specify that to which the compound refers. A houseboat, for example, is both a house and a boat.
३. तत्पुरुष
-
- There are many tatpurushas (one for each of the nominal cases, and a few others besides); in a tatpurusha, one component is related to another. For example, a doghouse is a dative compound, a house for a dog. It would be called a "caturtitatpurusha" (caturti refers to the fourth case--that is, the dative). Incidentally, "tatpurusha" is a tatpurusha ("this man"--meaning someone's agent), while "caturtitatpurusha" is a karmadhariya, being both dative, and a tatpurusha.
Here is a simple example to illustrate the different contexts in which the cases are used for the pronouns:
mayaa tatam idam sarvam jagad avyaktamuurtinaa | matsthaani sarvabhuutaani na caaham teshv avasthitah ||
-- भगवद्गीता (9.4)
"मया" (by me) in the first line is in the instrumental case. Word for word this says "by me is pervaded this all universe" but a naturalized translation would be "I pervade all this universe...".
"mat-sthaani" in the second line is a compound of "mat" (me) and "stha" (standing, staying at) and means "they are in me".
"-aham" (I) in the second line is nominative. na caaham = "...and not I....", meaning "but I am not...".
"teshv-" (in/at/by them) at the end of the second line is in locative plural. Translated: "...in them".

[edit] पुनर्प्रवर्तन
Recently, there have been attempts to revive the speaking of this ancient tongue among people, so that vast literature available in sanskrit can be made easily available to everyone. Many organisations like the Samskrta Bharati are conducting Speak Sanskrit workshops to popularise the language. About four million people are claimed to have acquired the ability to speak sanskrit.(See link)
