________________ 3. TIME LINE 2001 BC THE BIG VEDA the oldest of the four Vedas (except Mandalas I and X) is supposed to be composed about 1500 B.C., and codified about 600 B.C. It is unknown when it was finally committed to writing, but this probably was at some point after 300 B.C The language is the same as the Old Avestan or Gathic Avestan now called "Vedic Sanskrit" Old Avestan or Gathis Avestan: This form of the language was used to compose the Gathas and other more ancient portions of the Yasna. Gathic Avestan is an archaic language with a complicated grammar which consists of eight case forms and a highly inflected noun system. It is still quite close to the Vedic Sanskrit. toptig जानि वीन तं tiny olarak és opti Home Aga vende com.ting free my he अर्थ Kayzoi nj det देवन wagen tretësorëve veštine, ie, fyndai kabayyyya, parbuzganis Telegr ga ensed tembaga Taminergicristal medulamaymarked. आतंकव maa na mkeit d PETTATA ALTA Aten KIỆN THI VĂN HỌC CA TREN THE Bhogalumenau g So far fron vespertina wametinda Rigveda (padapatha) manuscript in Devanagari, early 19th century.
