I think, Sanskrit language is never meant to be a spoken language among humans. Because Sanskrit is deva-bhasha, and it comprises or words that have hidden powers (bija mantras). The application of these words in common mundane usage will greatly reduce their effectiveness, in the same way that the daily wanton application of medicines by a healthy person, can affect his health in the direction way. Perhaps this is why, in ancient India, the usage of Sanskrit language was given a certain sanctity, as compared to Prakrit. Like, if one is eating food, one must keep silence, or if conversation is unavoidable, one must converse only in Sanskrit. Such rules are meant to help maintain the sanctity of these mantras/words in the human mind, for a longer duration of time.
Sometime back, in the net I found a word - Wiki-suktiyaan (hindi). In my local language, the word Sukti has a powerful meaning, it is meant to denote something held in reverence. While I guess, with the inordinate application of this word in Hindi, the spiritual impact of this Sanskrit word is now greatly reduced.
