Ancient language of India (8)

I believe the answer is:

sanskrit

'ancient language of india' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sanskrit that I've seen before include "Ancient Hindu tongue" , "Ancient language of Hindus in India" , "Ancient Indo-European language" , "Ancient Indian language" , "Ancient official language of India" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
