====Grammar====
Some of the earliest linguistic activities can be found in [[Iron Age India]] (1st millennium BCE) with the analysis of [[Sanskrit]] for the purpose of the correct recitation and interpretation of [[Vedas|Vedic]] texts. The most notable grammarian of Sanskrit was {{IAST|[[Pāṇini]]}} (c. 520–460 BCE), whose grammar formulates close to 4,000 rules for Sanskrit. Inherent in his analytic approach are the concepts of the [[phoneme]], the [[morpheme]] and the [[root]].
