Thanks, Stella.  Will see if I can find that publication in our library.  Best,

Dear Christoph, Madhav and others,
There is a neglected and very original interpretation of sakaya niruttiya (sorry about the lacking diacritics- mea culpa!) by Ronald Morton Smith:
"What Was One's Own Language? Vinaya 2.139"  published in Contacts between Cultures: South Asia 2 (Selected Papers from the 33rd International Congress of Asian and North African Studies (Toronto, August  15-25, 1990) Lewiston 1992,  Ed. K.
L. Koppedrayer, p. 240-241.

Dear Madhav,

As a note rather than an answer to your question: you may already be aware of the most recent work on that phrase (and a discussion of Brough's views), Bryan Levman's article ?Sak?ya niruttiy? Revisited.? Bulletin des Études Indiennes 26-27 (2008-2009): 33-59.

Warm regards,
Christoph

Quoting Madhav Deshpande <mmdesh@umich.edu>:

Dear Indologists,

    If any one has access to an electronic copy of John Brough's article
on "sak?ya niruttiy?", please send it to me as an attachment.  I am
interested in the discussion of the Pali word sakkata used by Buddhaghosa
and others to refer to Sanskrit.  Looks like this word would come from
Sanskrit satk?ta, rather than from sa?sk?ta.  The latter appears in Pali as
sa?khata.  What I found interesting is that satk?t?m v?cam appears as a
variant of sa?sk?t?m v?cam in the manuscripts of R?m?ya?a [Sundarak???a
28.17-18], where Hanuman is wondering that should he speak to S?t? in
sa?sk?t??/satk?t?? v?cam like a Brahmin, she would take him for R?va?a and
would be frightened.  The critical edition of R?m?ya?a selects the reading
sa?sk?t?m, and hence this passage is taken as one of the early reference to
the usage of the word sa?sk?ta in relation to a language.  However, the
reading satk?t?m is there in several manuscripts, and would seem to match
the Pali/Prakrit usage of sakkata/sakkaya to refer to Sanskrit.  K. R.
Norman refers to Brough's article, but I have not had access to it.  Any
other occurrences of satk?ta in reference to Sanskrit?
