A man of languages thehindu/books/literary-review/hartmut-scharfe-german-indologist-and-passionate-admirer-of-sanskrit-grammarian-panini/article6470955.ece The author of four books on Sanskrit and a passionate admirer of Panini, the ancient Sanskrit grammarian, Scharfe developed a fascination for ancient India and its systems as a teenager. It could be this love for ancient India that led him to make some significant contributions to the study of Panini’s work on Sanskrit grammar. A man of languages, Scharfe says Sanskrit is impressive with its relative clarity of derivation and suffixes because most of the older consonants were still preserved, whereas in Greek and Latin numerous sound changes and elisions have obscured the older structure.
