Lesson-2:  Person, Number and Gender ---------------------------------------------------------
Lesson 2 deals with simple expressions again, but introduces the different forms taken by a noun in respect of number and gender. By this time, the student would have had the opportunity to identify and pronounce the Sanskrit aksharas. Roman transliteration is continued in this lesson too, to help some with the pronunciation of the words. 

 It is a well known fact the earliest of the available literature on Sanskrit as a language, deals with the linguistic aspects of the language. There is very litle doubt that the science of linguistics had already been established with Sanskrit, for concepts that we study in contemporary linguistics have all been
properly explained in these treatises on Sanskrit. As part of these lessons, we also present some essays on the linguistic aspects of Sanskrit, as explained in early Sanskrit works. Phonetics, as we understand the term, is the subject which relates to the sounds heard in a language, was well understood by Sanskrit scholars of the day.
