This course provides a specialisation in Buddhist philology, and more specifically in the reading of original texts in several ancient langages of Southern and Central Asia, in which Buddhist works were composed or translated. The lectures are devoted, depending on the year (even/uneven), to the grammatical and lexical study of Indo-Aryan languages (Pâli, Gândhâri, Buddhist Sanskrit), Middle-Iranian languages (Khotan Saka, Sogdian) or Tocharian, as well as to the commentary of selected texts.
Besides the lectures, each student prepares by himself the linguistic analysis of a text written in one of these languages, chosen according to his interest and his level of learning.
