संस्कृत विश्व की प्राचीनतम भाषा है। संस्कृत से अनेक भारतीय भाषाओं की उत्पत्ति हुई है, साथ ही इसका स्पष्ट प्रभाव विश्व की अनेक अन्य भाषाओं पर भी परिलक्षित होता है। संस्कृत के महत्व को न केवल भारतीय अपितु पाश्चात्य विद्वानों ने भी स्वीकार किया है। यही कारण है कि आज न केवल भारत में, वरन् विश्व के कई अन्य देशों में भी संस्कृत भाषा में अध्ययन, अध्यापन एवं शोधकार्य किया जा रहा है। भारत एशिया महाद्वीप का एक वहु सांस्कृतिक एवं वहुविविधता वाला अतीव रमणीय देश है। इसकी सभ्यता, एवं संस्कृति की एशियाई देशों में गहरी छाप दिखाई देती है। इसका श्रेय बहुधा संस्कृत भाषा को जाता है। एशिया में मुख्यतः 44 राष्ट्रों का परिगणन किया जाता है। जिसमें से कई देशों में संस्कृत का प्रचार-प्रसार चिरकाल से चला आ रहा है। वर्तमान में भी इन देशों में संस्कृत का पठन-पाठन एवं संस्कृत भाषा में समाहित वर्ण्यविषय का बहुधा प्रयोग एवं प्रचलन है। इन देशों में मुख्यतया इण्डोनेशिया, वियतनाम, थाईलैण्ड, म्यान्मार (बर्मा), नेपाल, भूटान, श्रीलंका, मालदीव, चीन, जापान, दक्षिण कोरिया इत्यादि हैं।
