Sanskrit is one of the few languages that have Dual Grammar.
A few other languages in the world too have Dual Grammar for example Semitic Languages like Arabic besides a few other Indo European languages.
Dual grammar is not seen in English and in most other Indian languages.
For example in English we say A Teacher, Two Teachers and Many Teachers.
But in Sanskrit we would say:
A Teacher :adhyApakaH (अध्यापकः)
Two Teachers: adhyApakau ( अध्यापकौ )
Many Teachers : adhyApakAH ( अध्यापकाः )
Well it would be so easy for a person with 2 wives to call them both..all he has to say is
Hey patnyau!(हे पत्न्यौ!) O' Two Wives! and both will come running! 😂
