Prakrit languages have similarities and differences with Sanskrit in many ways, Prakrit languages when formalized for literary use their variation from conventional vedic languages was Correct Answer Apabhramsha

Prakrit languages (from Sanskrit: prkta, "arising from the source, occurring in the source") are a subset of Sanskrit languages. Inscriptions, literary works, and grammarians' descriptions have all been used to identify Middle Indo-Aryan languages. Prakrit languages are linked to Sanskrit, although they differ in various aspects and are contrasted with it.

Important Points

  • Apabhramsha is a literary language from the Middle Indo-Aryan languages' last phase.
  • When the Prakrit languages were formalized through literary use, they were dubbed Apabhramsha.
  • Despite their close kinship, Apabhramsha and the nonliterary Prakrits are usually treated separately by scholars.
  • Although some researchers use the name Prakrit throughout the Middle Indo-Aryan period, the term Prakrit (which includes Pli) is used for the popular dialects of India that were spoken until the 4th - 8th centuries.
  • Apabhraas, which were used until the 15th century, eventually evolved from Middle Indo-Aryan languages. Apabhraas have evolved into modern languages that are spoken by millions of people today.

Therefore, the correct answer is Apabhramsha.
