Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great.  In terms of their linguistic ancestry, Sanskrit and German are somewhat related. Proto-Indo-European is a hypothetical language that is the ancestor of all Indo-European languages. Both German and English are members of the Indo-European language family's West Germanic branch.

While a smaller portion of its vocabulary is partially derived from Latin and Greek, along with fewer words borrowed from French and Modern English, the majority of its vocabulary comes from the ancient Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family.

ALL THE BEST

hlwo aspirant

hope you are doing well

as i am feeling very proud to say that Every language is derived from Sanskrit so German is also derived from Sanskrit.

The Sanskrit word for chariot, ratha, re-emerges in the German Rad; * Aksha, axle in Sanskrit, led to German Achse, which is also used in the figurative sense of a close union and alliance; * Unlike many other languages, both Sanskrit and German use all three genders: feminine, masculine and neutral.

even more fascinating example of mental closeness at a conceptual level

Gribh or garbh in Sanskrit was gripan, and is now Griff or greifen in German

Yet, symptomatically, both in Sanskrit and in German, the word for physical action of the hand — to grab, to seize — was also transferred to

the non-material, intellectual sphere. In both languages, the same word is used for the physical activity as well as for the mental activity of ‘to understand’, ‘to perceive’, as in the German begreifen.

but a s far as I know, consensus among linguists is that German is not derived from Sanskrit, but that it is related to Sanskrit; German is not the grandchild of Sanskrit but rather something like a great-nephew. Both languages have a common ancestor, Proto-Indo-European.

hope this is helpful for you

all the best for your upcoming future
