Among early Buddhists Pali was considered linguistically similar to, or even a direct continuation of, the Old Magadhi language. Many Theravada sources refer to the Pali language as "Magadhan" or the "language of Magadha." This identification first appears in the commentaries, and may have been an attempt by Buddhists to associate themselves more closely with the Mauryans. The Buddha taught in Magadha, but the four most important places in his life are all outside of it. It is likely that he taught in several closely related dialects of Middle Indo-Aryan, which had a very high degree of mutual intelligibility.

Get the Palin Wink mug.It's a country not classified as a country. The people have separate IDs/Passports from the Israelis. There are areas where only Palestinians can go and then there are areas where only Israelis can go. There's a giant wall separating the two countries. If you want to cross over, you have to show your documents and they, the officials, can either let you in or send you back. There's a border (thanks to the wall), there's a separate government (even if it's not exactly the ideal one), it's a separate nationality. In my opinion that makes it a separate nation.
