Question

why did buddha preach in pali

Answer 1

In the 5th century BC when Buddhism was founded by Siddartha Gautam Hinduism was spread far and wide. During that period seeing the popularity of Hinduism various priests started fooling people. In the name of religion they practised corruption. They introduced several expensive yagyas and yajnas, which was way to far expensive for the poor.

The priests used Sanskrit as their tool to spread their influence as this language was known only to the higher class people. They purposly avoided pali the local language at that time to appear intelligent and glorius.

Seeing this Gautam Buddha decided to preach his religion in pali as this language was understood by all class of people. This enabled even the lower group people to understand Buddhism.
