| Outline and Purpose of the Course | The origins of Jainism, a religious order still found in India today; is contemporaneous with the founding of Buddhism, and shares main similarities. Ardhamagadhi (Amg) is one of the Prakit (Middle Indo-Aryan languages) used in the scriptures of Svetambara (white-clad) Jainism, and has similarities with Pali. While actually reading texts written in Amg, they may become Prakrit. | |||
| Course Goals | Understand the characteristics of Prakrit, whose phonological features and grammar are different from Sanskrit, by reading text written in Ardhamagadhi. Thus, being able to use the reference documents needed to examine the meaning and vocabulary. | |||
