This text is in pretty basic Maithili. I come from a district on the western side of Mithila so I can read it pretty ez, but many friends I have from east UP and the Western regions of Bihar (Champaran, Saran etc) cannot understand it despite speaking Bhojpuri which, like Maithili, also originated from Magadhi Prakrit and (also like Maithili) is closer to the Bengali-Assamese family of languages linguistically compared to Hindi.

I just like the flag yaar. I used to live in Bangalore before moving to the States for university, but I am ethnically Maithil

...anyway, are you able to comprehend it? If yes, please post your state and cast. I'm trying to learn whether Indian languages are really that different beyond a certain syntax and an order of writing

>shiksha aur sanskrit word shiskh ka meaning same hi hai
second line
>idk, but maybe it is saying that the both words are visually same , and thus unko samajhna asan hota hai

First line, yeah.
>'शिक्षा' शब्द संस्कृतक 'शिक्ष' धातुसँ व्युत्पन्न भेल अछि जकर सामान्य अर्थ अछि- सिखब ओ सिखायब।
Shiksha is derived from Shiksh which mostly means to teach and be taught.
Second line is
>एहि दृष्टिएँ कहल जा सकैछ जे शिक्षामे सिखब सिखयबाक प्रक्रिया चलैत रहैत अछि ।
In this view, it can be said that education is an ongoing process of learning and teaching

I can read this enough to understand what the statements is saying. Even though i have never heard naithli in my life. I think its more of an iq thing here

I mean, to an extent. If one knows enough Sanskrit words and has an ability to skim text for words with recognisable connotations then obviously one can gauge what they are talking about - I have done that with even Kannada despite not learning it. I was wondering if the flow of the sentence and the specific tenses verbs, suffixe were making sense, if you catch my drift
>iq thing
Yaar, mine is 130-140 and i still can't understand jack shit when people are speaking rajasthani in dehat despite me living in jaipur for a few years. I don't think it's related to iq tbh

what are you referring to by "it"? Maithili specifically or any Indo-Aryan language?

Kek, i don't know sanskrit either. I guess its the similarities of wors and flow of words. They are not that hard to get if you know hindi. I think if you read like 5-6 pages with hindi translation one can grasp the sense by just that. But sanskrit is truly the best pillar toward learning indian languages. Once you know sanskrit you're 30-40% done.
>rajasthani
I can understand rajasthani and punjabi but haryanvi goes through my head. Their accent is too strong for a non native. Completely inimitable. Also they use a lot of their own words for thing.

I see, thanks. I mean, based on flow alone I guess most people living in the Gangetic plains (Haryana, UP, Bihar, Bengal) could understand even a Nepali rap battle but I guess I had been thinking of the Standardized way of writing vs way of speaking most Maithili speakers use while speaking that makes it so different to hear compared to mostly non-written languages where comprehension matters more based on what dialect you have exposure to (like Haryanavi, Bhojpuri, the Rajasthani languages)

I think thats a littlw far fethced. Nepali has relative words but grammar words or idk what they say is very different from what we mostly use. Not even sounding like that. But yeah, it doesn't seem too hard to learn either. Dialect and accent indeed plays bigger obstacle. But maithli is easy. Lakhnavi or mid UP languages are probably harder to understand because they are very different from either bhojpuri and khadi boli subs. + accent

hain? i can understand most UP dialects despite never visiting anywhere outside purvanchal and west UP. Their accent may be heavy but the words don't really differ that much from spoken Hindi compared to how much Haryana/Rajasthan or north Bihar differ
