Namaste Prahbat Ji,
We speak a mixture of English and German with a good deal taken from local dialects. As a matter of course, a lot of Sanskrit appears in discussion as well. (How can you talk about Samkhya, for example, without it? lol) _________________ Namaste,

Namaste Shis,
sorry for asking, but whats "samkhya".
a mixture of English and German and do you sometimes say some hindi words in it. sounds very funny, as we now try to speak bolly-hindi, gives a funny situation _________________ Namaste,
