I have been trying to pick up Sanskrit again, from where I left off in high school. How did we lose touch with such an incredible language?

Also, every single vowel and pronunciation is structured in a way that it logically uses the throat, lip and tongue muscles. The following is a graphical description of the vowel structure and how they are derived.
