Sanskrit is one of the oldest languages globally, originated, developed, and cultivated by people living as Hindus or Indians. Sanskrit has the distinctive feature of being one of the few heritage languages with no geographical foundation attached to its name.

Sanskrit's meaning means a plethora of different things, including pure, refined, educated, respected, beautiful, and elegant. The holy books of the Indic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism are written in the Sanskrit language.

The number one difference between Sanskrit and Hindi is that the former is one of the oldest languages on earth. On the contrary, Hindi is a newer language compared to Sanskrit. So many words have been used to define the term Sanskrit. A lot of attributes such as pure, refined, elegant, polished have been used to explain the meaning of Sanskrit. Hindi, on the other hand, is one of the official languages in India. It is arguably one of the oldest in India. According to history, Hindi was introduced by Brahma. The main reason why Brahma introduced Hindi is to serve as a language that people would use to worship God. While Sanskrit has been existing long before the middle of the 18th century, it was during this period that people began to show interest in this language. There are so many languages that share certain similarities with Sanskrit, and it is because they all have Sanskrit as their origin. Hindi has less complex grammar compared to Sanskrit.

Hindi is known to be derived from Sanskrit but only in some words and meanings. There are some obvious differences between the two, like the fact that Sanskrit will have a much bigger significance in the world of Science as compared to Hindi. Sanskrit has also been used in a lot of ways when it comes to the field of art and science. Take note that this was in the past; right now, Hindi is being used more as compared to Sanskrit. This is something that has changed over the past years. The speakers of Sanskrit have also lessened over the past years, while speakers of Hindi have increased recently. If you would compare the grammar and composition of Sanskrit, you will notice that this is much harder as compared to Hindi.
