Shauraseni Prakrit ( Sanskrit : शौरसेनी प्राकृत , Śaurasenī Prākṛta ) was a Middle Indo-Aryan language and a Dramatic Prakrit . Shauraseni was the chief language used in drama in medieval northern India . Most of the material in this language originates from the 3rd to 10th centuries, and represented a regional language variety with minor modifications to the same linguistic substratum as other Dramatic Prakrit varieties. [1]
Among the Prakrits , Shauraseni is said to be the one most closely related to Classical Sanskrit in that it "is derived from the Old Indian Indo-Aryan dialect of the Madhyadeśa on which Classical Sanskrit was mainly based." [2] : 3–4 Its descendants include the languages of the Hindi Belt , the Central Zone of modern Indo-Aryan or Hindi languages . [3]
