Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Prakrit (also transliterated as Pracrit) is the name for a group of Middle Indic, Indo-Aryan languages, derived from Old Indic dialects. The word itself has a flexible definition, being defined sometimes as, original, natural, artless, normal, ordinary, usual, or vernacular, in contrast to the literary and religious orthodoxy of sa'sk't'. Alternatively, Prakrit can be taken to mean derived from an original, means evolved in natural way. But there are scholars who believe that Prakrit is older than Sanskrit, and it is on the base of Prakrit (original) that the Sanskrit (refined) language was made.
