Early Buddhist literature was written in a language which evolved as a vehicle for expression among a few competing vaiants which were seemingly different from Sanskrit, a language which had hitherto been identified with the elite and their existing religious discourse. The Buddha wanted to give a linguistic identity to his religious and philosophical discourse and hence the emergence of Pali as a language of the early Buddhist literature.-Prof. R. C. Sharma, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Seoul
