Prakrit Language Prakrit language, according to one interpretation is variously translated as being "original, natural, artless, normal, ordinary, usual", and is also interpreted as indicating the "vernacular". As opposed to samskrta, (representing Sanskrit in the international alphabetical translational domain) that is represented by the literal and religious orthodoxy, both adjectives elliptically (referring to figure of speech, denoting suppression of particular words or phrases in sentences) absolutely refer to vak or "speech". According to yet another analysis, Prakrit language has been "derived from an original", i.e. (derived from Sanskrit) connecting to the extensive family of the Indic languages and dialects spoken in ancient India. With advancement, the Prakrits became literary languages, principally patronised by kings delineating the Kshatriya caste, but were regarded as out-and-out illegitimate by the Brahmin dogmatics and orthodoxy. The earliest surviving usage of Prakrit is the corpus of inscriptions of emperor Ashoka. While the various Prakrit languages are linked with umpteen patron dynasties, with varying religions and their differing literary traditions, none of them did at any time represent an informal "mother tongue" in any area of India. In this regard of Prakrit language, there exists some disputation concerning the meaning of the Sanskrit term prakrta. Some authentic researchers are of the view that it has been deduced from prakrti (nature). In other words, Prakrit is represented as the natural language as opposed to Sanskrit, redefining the then society of cultured or refined language. Then again, suggestions arise that prakrti stands for `basis` and the term indicates that the language is descended from the cardinal basis, that is, Sanskrit. Other scholars are of the view that prakrti signified the common mass and thus was the language wholly employed by them. In Sanskrit plays, for instance, the dialogue delivery of characters belonging to the lower stratum of society was always in Prakrit.
