Sumario: This paper addresses some problems related to the question about what is Sanskrit in general, and what is Classical Sanskrit in particular. After offering some of the best known depictions of the language, we establish four diferent (but related) characterizations that lie beneath the ways we use the notion of “Sanskrit”: (a) as a classical language, (b) as a natural linguistic variety, (c) as the language of the ancient Indian literary canon, and (d) as an arti+cial language. The problems and limitations of the diverse criteria involved in each of these categorizations will lead us to draw some final considerations regarding the peculiarities of the Sanskrit language, the challenges entailed by its learning process and some possible lines for further research.
