Since I obviously have been misinformed because I'm not a Linguist or at least a Lingustics professor at a college:

begin quotes.

There are no "Sanskrit-based" languages on Earth, but rather languages heavily influenced by Sanskrit, primarily the Indo-Aryan languages of Northern India, such as Hindi, Bengali, and Marathi. Sanskrit is also related to the ancient Proto-Indo-European language family, which includes languages like Latin, Greek, and English. Additionally, Sanskrit has left its mark on Dravidian languages in South India and numerous Southeast Asian languages like Indonesian and Thai. 

Indo-Aryan Languages

These languages are the most direct descendants of Sanskrit, evolving from the Proto-Indo-Aryan language. Examples include: 

Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Nepali, and Odia.

Other Influenced Languages

• Dravidian Languages:

  .

While distinct, languages like Tamil and Telugu have been enriched with Sanskrit vocabulary. 

Sanskrit influence can be found in languages such as Javanese, Thai, and Classical Khmer. 

Due to their shared Indo-European heritage, languages like English, Latin, and Greek are distantly related to Sanskrit and share similarities in phonetics and grammar.
