'Rig Veda' was originally composed in which one of the following languages?

  • A.Brahmi
  • B.Pali
  • C.Sanskrit
  • D.Prakrit

Answer: C

The Rig Veda was composed in Sanskrit.

The Rig Veda, the oldest of the four Vedas (about 1500 BCE), is in an early form of Sanskrit known as Vedic Sanskrit. Its hymns were composed and passed down orally for centuries before being written.

Brahmi is a script, not a language, and it appears much later, in the inscriptions of Ashoka. Pali and the Prakrits are later Indo-Aryan languages: Pali is the language of the Buddhist canon, and Prakrit was used by Jainism and in Ashokan inscriptions.
