Sanskrit is the first spoken and documented written language. Hopefully
Greek and Latin are derivatives of the ancient Indo-European Sanskrit
language.
I know for sure that German, Russian are derived from roots of Sanskrit
language.
Further----
In my opinion English is one of the ambiguous languages, of course, we
are grateful to the British for introducing us to an internationally
common language for communications. (01)
There are many related thoughts of interest to ontology and semantics: (02)
Sanskrit is computer interpretable natural language and it is spoken
exactly as it is written. (03)
Over the years the interpretation and Grammar in English and parsing
techniques have emerged to reduce ambiguous interpretations. (04)
I have been exposed to 3-4 languages and I can say that even the
mathematical languages such as Sanskrit when used in practice require
strong context and concept related preconditions and often as in Dram,
short introductions to the context are made in classical texts. Do not
we think that for machine interpretability as well as for collaboration
even in a CoP we need to set the context and concept such as
zoology-animals-mammals-large mammals-rhinoceros etc and agree to the
NAMESPACE to spell Rhino---- unambiguously. This takes us only to the
basics. Are we then talking about the genes of rhino, behavior, or
comparing rhino to other large mammals? Etc. See it is not easy even for
simple concepts let alone talking about business processes and mental
processes and even in them the abnormal standards, personally it is
quite a lot to chew so we need baby steps with taxonomy, ontology,
semantics, context and concepts and also community oriented (even
partial) standards that are acceptable for collaboration, so we can
begin. (05)
Let us draw on two parallels:
1. E-business B2B commerce is still far from operational as BPEL and
ebXML communities and vertical practices of their CoPs are not ready to
converge due to large learning curves. I participated as GM
representative in one such inventory sharing business process about 3
years ago, slow progress and semantic conversation and collaboration are
far away - also for Semiconductors, aerospace and automotive industries
which are first to attempt this. Major delays in converging different
Business processes and documents that can be audited and learning XML
technologies.
2. Tremendous strides by Federal Government in developing Justice XML
vertical documentation and for DHS to adopt it in a collaborative
fashion bringing some hope for interpretation and collaboration among
security and legal CoPs. Yet long way from overall Federal adoption even
though OMB Transportation and others are taking lead. (06)
Hope this sets up some background for Healthcare related architectures
and business processes as well as practices (CoPs) that at the minimum
have to include Profession (Neuro- or Behavioral practitioners),
Technologists, BPM and IT CoPs etc........ (07)
Thanks for your kind attention. (08)

Pat, (016)
also in Finnish words mean exactly what they do, but
there are very litte words if the Finnish language. (017)
Basically, it is natural that every person thinks:
"I have the justification to speak my mother tongue,
I have the justification to the land where I happened
to be living, and my country is a good country". Yes,
national pride is a walking stick for blind fools. The
only national pride that a person should have, is a
the pride of the whole planet, not just one nation
within this sphere. Of course, most people don't even
think why they do, they just do. (018)
For the language, I'd be happy to have English as the
common language of del mundo, even officially. This
can be seen as the price for the English-speaking
countries for winning the second world war. In a
nutshell, it is important for people to understand
your call for help, and it is unimportant with which
language the call is made, if it is understood. (019)
I wouldn't want to steal anybody's language, so let
everyone have their language, but let everyone also
learn English. The period of moving into the common
language could be made faster in many ways. (020)
