⁴ *Haraprasāda Sāstrī* called this language Sandhyā-bhāṣā or "twilight-language," Panchcowrie Banerjee (Visva Bharati Quarterly, 1924, p. 265) called it the language of the borderland between the ancient Āryāvarta and the actual Bengal. *Vidhushekhara Bhattacharya* (Ind. Hist. Q. IV, 1928, p. 287 ff.) has, however, shown that the correct name is Sandhā-bhāṣā, and means "intentional speech," *i.e.*, enigmatical speech in which a secret meaning is intended.
