Talk:Guru Granth Sahib

The first sentence is completely wrong, isn't it? What about Joseph Smith? What about Muhammad? There must be others also. Am I missing something, or does it need to be axed? Jwrosenzweig 00:58, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Gurmukhi
"The text used is a script called Gurmukhi, which is considered a modern development of the ancient language called Sanskrit."
I'm not sure what this line means. How can a script be a modern development of an ancient language? I'm sure it could be a modern development of Devanagari (which it is not, incidentally) but surely not a language. All sources indicate that Gurmukhi was actually derived from Landa and standardised by Guru Angad Dev. Sure, it was adapted and used to write Sanskrit and other languages in the SGGS, but it was itself not a 'development' from either of these.
Anyone disagree? 82.37.161.188 14:58, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Adi Granth
What is called the Guru Granth Sahib by some Sikhs is also called the Adi Granth by other Sikhs and by many scholars. It would be helpful to the article if someone knowledeable could clarify the subject. 12.74.168.70 14:33, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
