And they count as "child languages" to Vedic Sanskrit:
    Sanskrit; Classical Sanskrit; sanskrit (san)
    Paisaci Prakrit; Prakrit (qpp)
    G?ndh?ri (092)

Note that they equate the "san" ("sa") code to Classical Sanskrit!

("091", "qpp", and "092" are LinguistList internal codes, while "san" is an
ISO 639-3 code that is equivalent to the ISO 639-1 code "sa".)
