From the author: This article, revised and updated, is based on an address delivered in Calcutta on the occasion of the two-hundredth anniversary of Sir William Jones' original assertion of a genetic relation obtaining between Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin, ". . . [a relation] so strong indeed that no philologer could examine them without believing them to have sprung from some common source, which perhaps no longer exists" (Asiatick Researches 1 [1788]: 422).
From the supplier: The Indo-Aryan retroflexes were shaped by various linguistic rules. The contextual n-assimilation rule is the popular phonotactic rule of Sanskrit grammar. Under this rule, the constraint [s/r(...)nV/nasal] operates within the morphological world. Other rules include the Indo-European dialectal 'krui' rule, Indo-European voicing assimilation rule, Indic lingual assimilation rule and the Indic sibilant laxing law.
