Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language with a rich history spanning over 3,500 years, has played an essential role in shaping the cultural and intellectual landscape of the Indian subcontinent.
Sanskrit also has a dual number, that is, in addition to singular and plural, words can be inflected to refer specifically to groups of two. Doesn't Russian have something similar? I think I heard there are separate adjective endings for groups of 2 to 5, something like that?
Oh, and there's also word-final devoicing, which I believe the two languages share. Stops, which would otherwise be voiced (such as d) become unvoiced (t) when they appear at the end of a word.
