And it is also not clear, to me at least, what the other requests w.r.t.
sanskrit are variants/dialects of:
>> vaidika    Vedic     ------->    may get its own code in ISO 639-3 registry
>> laukika    Classical ------->    this appears to be "san/sa" in ISO 639
>> bauddha    Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit ----> variant of (Classical) sanskrit
(san) or of Vedic sanskrit or of something else?
>> itihasa    Epic                     ----> variant of (Classical) sanskrit
(san) or of Vedic sanskrit or of something else?
