Hello,

We don't seem to have any Sanskrit speaker here. Try our translation service. There's an English US - Sanskrit translator.

Oops. Sorry, I prometted it a few weeks ago, and I have completly forgotten.

It must be : mad+putraH + mad+jîvam = madputro madjîvam (the verb "is" is not necessary here). In nagari script :

मद्पुत्रो मद्दीवम

I will ask Vikram about it, but I am quite sure. If can wait until the thursday 30th september, I will have seen my professor at this time.

If it can wait till tomorrow, 3rd of October, I can confirm the veracity of Sisyphe's translation.

Don't lose hope, for one of us will surely get back to you.

1. To know more about sanskrit you can e.g. look at http://www.krysstal.com/langfams.html :
« The Sanskrit spoken in North India changed into the modern languages of of the region: Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali and others. (…Indo-European Family) »
and further:
« The Indo-European Family
The most widely studied family of languages and the family with the largest number of speakers. Languages include English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Russian, Greek, Hindi, Bengali; and the classical languages of Latin, Sanskrit, and Persian. »
At http://www.krysstal.com/langfams_indoeuro.html you read more details related to the Indo-European Family:
« The Indic Branch
(Hindi : Urdu : Nepali : Bengali : Assamese : Oriya : Kashmiri : Punjabi : Sindhi : Marathi : Gujerati : Bhili : Lahnda : Maithili : Magahi : Konkani : Sinhalese : Maldivian : Romany : Sanskrit : Pali)
(Extinct languages

are in lighter type).

This branch has the most languages. Most are found in North India. They are derived from Sanskrit (the classical language of Hinduism dating from 1000BC). This gave rise to Pali (the language of Buddhism), Ardhamagadhi (the language of Jainism) and the ancestors of the modern North Indian languages.
Of the modern North Indian languages, Hindi and Urdu are very similar

but differ in the script

. The Hindi speakers are Hindus and use the Sanskrit writing system called Devanagari (writing of the Gods). Urdu is spoken by the Muslims so uses the Arabic Nastaliq script. These two languages are found in north and central India and Pakistan. Nepali is closely related to Hindi

.

Hindi
In India most of the states have their own language

. These languages either use Devanagari script or a derivation (if the people are Hindus) or the Arabic Nastaliq script (if the people are Muslims).
etc.
Sanskrit had three genders as has Marathi; most modern Indic languages have two genders; Bengali has none

.
The fascinating point about India is that the south Indian languages (like Tamil) are not Indo-European

. In other words, Hindi is related to English, Greek and French but is totally unrelated to Tamil. North Indians visiting Madras (in the south) are as baffled by Tamil as a foreigner would be
