In which country does sanskrit originate?

Sanskrit was the language of Greater India, Vedic India (same thing), and Greater Iran. It was the language of the Vedas. It was closely tied with its counterpart, Avestan, the official language of Greater Iran and the Avesta. Sanskrit is still spoken today in India, numbering in about 10,000 active, fluent speakers. It originated before the Mahajanapada times of Ancient India. It was first used for Vedic culture, which again, sprouted in Greater India (composite of today's North India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan).


Is Catalan a language or a Spanish dialect?

Catalan is a language, and is in fact the most similar to Italian currently (87%) while only sharing a 85% similarity with both Spanish and Portuguese.The difference between a language and a dialect is that a language has a unique way of writing down information. A Catalan sentence and a Spanish sentence will be different. For example: "Si os plau" is Catalan for "please" and "por favor" is Spanish for please. Arabic and Chinese are said to have dialects because only one form of the language is written and the differences are all oral. However, the difference between Arabic dialects or Chinese dialects can be greater than the difference between Catalan and Spanish.
