[INDOLOGY] Traditional/ insider's view of language or dialect status of Prakrits

[Madhav Deshpande]

Dear Professor Paturi,

If I may direct you to my own book:  Deshpande-Sanskrit & Prakrit -
Sociolinguistic Issues (Book MLBD 1993).  This book discusses many of the
questions that you have raised in your message.  With best wishes,

Madhav Deshpande
