Résumé / Abstract : Languages are not the only link between countries and regions ; there could be, and indeed there are, other links as well ; the links of ethnicity, history, religion and mythology and so on. But everything said and done, it is the linguistic link which is the strongest one, for it is the most basic one pertaining as it does to the thoughts, ideas and feelings of a person. He gives vent to his ideas through an expression. That Sanskrit could make such deep in-roads into these languages provides the evidence, if at all that would be needed, of the close links between India and the countries of the region from the point view of language.
