What is Pali Language? A history | Learn Pāli Basics
In this introduction to the language we ask ’What is Pāli? What does it mean? & Where does it come from?’ It investigates the meaning of the word itself, how it has become used to refer to a language, as well as the historical evidence for it and details the various theories for its origin. Finally it concludes by placing the language of Pali within general linguistic theory.
