Hello, everyone. I am not from India myself (though I want desperately to live there, at least for a little while, someday), but my novel has a lot of Indian themes in it. I recently made a post to the Experts Board that I thought I might repost here to see if I could get some help from anyone.

I am looking for someone who is versed in one (or all of these languages) who also has a strong grasp of english. I have a lot of questions about word usage and translation. If anyone who is strongly versed (not just a few words here and there, I have that on my own) who'd be willing to help me out with a lot of language could reply here, or even better PM me about it, I would appreciate it very much.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Anyone who would be willing to spend some time helping with me with translation and better understanding of concepts and meanings would be my hero.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hey,
We'd love to help you out, but I can't find which languages exactly you were referring too! I did run across you're post in the other forum and it was punjabi, kashmiri and something else I think (hindi?). I am not familiar with the above languages, but perhaps you can try editing that post, to get a better response!
Hope it helps! :)

Whoops! I forgot that I had put them in the title of the other post!
I am looking for help with Punjabi, Hindi and Sanskrit.
Thanks a lot for pointing that out to me. :)

Hey,
It is good to know that you are interested in writing with Indian themes. I am fairly competent in Hindi and Sanskrit (apart from English, obviously), and would be glad to offer any help that I can. Buzz me here on my email address and let us carry on a conversation from there.
cheers
