In which language is Sanskrit written?

Comments

• Because there is little to distinguishing the alphabet and spelling rules from the words, forms, syntax, and grammer from a written language. They are NOT THE SAME, different.
  
  There are about several common script forms that "Sanskrit" is written in, however (BIG HOWEVER), Sanskrit retains its oral traditions and presentation even after committed to written form.
  
  The script alphabet most usually associated wit written Sanskrit is Devanagari script. Others are Brahmi Script, Gujarati, Bengali , Gurumukhi, Oriya, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil , Burmese, Khmer , Sinhala , Lao and Thai are all related.

• If the question was about which SCRIPT is Sanskrit written in, I wouldn't have answered the question this way. But if someone asked me which language Hebrew was written in, I wouldn't give the derivation of the characters of the language, I'd say "Hebrew".

  I don't understand why you are so peckish.

  Others have left similar information.
  
  It remains important to retain the concept that Sanskrit is a
  mature "ORAL" language and the writing in glyphs did not
  occur until several dcades after it matured. "Writing" came
  late to the Indus valley civilization.
