Are there people who still speak Sanskrit? Like there are people who speak Latin? Do you recommend learning Sanskrit to take part in communal activities?
Sanskrit
Yep, many Hindus learn Sanskrit, similarly to the Catholics who learn Latin. It's a pretty sweet-sounding language in my opinion.
Since it is a dead language Sanskrit sounds like the mother tongue of those who speak it, pretty much like Latin or Esperanto. Sanskrit can't be a sweet-sounding language per se.
