Majjhima Nikaya (Collection of Middle Length Discourses) is a major collection of Buddhist scriptures included in the Sutta Pitaka, which is part of the Pali Canon (Tipitaka) of Theravada Buddhism. These texts are composed in the Pali language, which was the liturgical language of Theravada Buddhism and is based on a Middle Indo-Aryan dialect.

The Pali Canon is the standard collection of scriptures in the Theravadan Buddhist tradition, and the Sutta Pitaka, containing the Majjhima Nikaya, is written in Pali.

Many Mahayana Buddhist texts were composed in Sanskrit or Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit. Prakrit refers to a group of Middle Indo-Aryan languages, including those used in early Jain and some Buddhist texts (other than Pali). Telugu is a Dravidian language spoken in India, unrelated to these ancient languages.
