Language cannot be invented -
Language cannot be invented - At least the natural human languages that have been there since thousands of years.

Language slowly develops takes its form and grammar rules help abide it to some constant structure.

According to hindu puranas, Brahma introduced this language to the Sages of celestial bodies that’s why Sanskrit is also called as a Deva Vani (the language of gods).

Sanskrit language comes from Indo European language family. Vedic Sanskrit was the earliest form of Sanskrit which we have till today. Vedas are the earliest reference to Sanskrit language which we have even today.

Later on Panini and Patanjali refined it with structured and well formatted grammar rules. So there is not such as invention of Sanskrit but it developed and took its form that we see today.
