About Pali Education in , Kalyan - West

Pali is a Middle Indo-Aryan language of north Indian origin. It is also known as Magadhi, although it was spoken, or at least well understood, in almost the whole of Northern India in the Buddha's time.
One can get on nodding terms with Pali without much struggle. It is quite easy as compared to Sanskrit, since:
- the number of characters in the alphabet is less;
- its does not use the dual number in its declensions and conjugations;
- in declensions, the dative has almost lost its separate existence;
- the number of cases with separate terminations stands greatly reduced;
- two of the tenses (the periphrastic future and the benedictive) have fallen into disuse; and
- rolling compounds of monstrous length have given way to smaller ones of reasonable length.
