भाषा • (bhāṣā) f

1. talk, utterance

From the root भाष् (bhāṣ, “to speak”); further origin uncertain. Theories include:

• From Proto-Indo-European *bʰel-s- (“to sound”); compare Lithuanian balsas (“voice”) and Latvian balss (“voice”). The retroflexion is in this case due to Fortunatov's law.
• From Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂-s- (“to speak”); compare Latin fās (“divine law”). The retroflex ṣ could either be onomatopoeic or to avoid homonymy with root भास् (bhās, “to shine”) (compare originally fully homonymous English flower and flour or German küssen and Kissen).^[1]
