Schlegel and Consequences of Indian Language and Wisdom on Linguistics

Friedrich Schlegel is a German Orientalist who has contributed greatly to the linguistic and philosophical developments of nineteenth-century Europe and beyond by studying Sanskrit and revising the theories of people such as William Jones. His most important works include the book of Indian language and wisdom. This book, which deals with the origins of Hindu-European languages, plays an important role in the development of linguistics and the publication of Eastern literature in the West. Schlegel's attention to Hindi also led Orientalists to pay attention to the history of languages and to open a new chapter in Orientalism. However, in many studies Schelgel's role has been overlooked and his name has not been mentioned. The central question is how his work evolved in linguistics. Descriptive-analytical research has shown that Schlegel's work in this work has attracted the attention of many scholars and scholars by emphasizing the similarities of the origins of language, devising new methods in linguistics and proving the theories of earlier linguists.
