"This is the alphabet which is recognised in Panini's great
Sanskrit grammer of about 4th century B. C. and has remained
unmodified ever since. It not only represents all the sounds of the
Sanskrit Language, but is arranged on the thoroughly scientific
method, the simple vowels ( short and long ) coming first, then
the dipthongs, and lastly the consonants in uniform groups,
according to the organs of speech with which they are pronounced.
Thus the dental Consonants appear together; as t, th, d, dh, n,
and the labials as p, ph, b, bh, m. We Europeans, on the other
hand, 2500 years later, and in a scientific age, still employ an
alphabet which is not only inadequate to represent all the sounds
