Russian and Sanskrit Grammar: Proximity and Differences Recently, I completed my Diploma in the Russian Language, from the great Benares Hindu University. I am also a scholar of Sanskrit. In this article, I present how Russian Grammar is mainly derived from  Sanskrit Grammar on the basis of several parts of speech. So far, we have heard how German is closer to Sanskrit; however, after studying both languages, I have concluded Russian has a greater proximity to Sanskrit. 1. Cases ( कारक) and Declension of Nouns Both the languages have declension of nouns i.e. the endings of nouns change depending on the cases. Here I list the cases used in Sanskrit, Russian and German.
