Recognizes Sanskrit as one of world languages.
AJR 78 is a symbolic resolution recognizing Sanskrit as one of the world languages, without creating new laws or affecting any group. It cites Sanskrit's historical significance as an ancient proto-Indo-European language (over 3,500 years old), its influence on 97% of world languages, and its role in Hindu traditions, literature, and grammar. The resolution directs copies to Samskrita Bharati New Jersey and takes effect immediately. As a procedural resolution, it has no policy impact beyond formal recognition.
