Mleccha: Culture, Territory & Literature describing the Mleccha
Mleccha (Sanskrit: म्लेच्छ, romanized: mlecchá) is a Sanskrit term referring to those of an incomprehensible speech, foreigners or invaders deemed distinct and separate from the Vedic tribes. In Vedic discourse, the term is used to refer to foreigners (anārya-s) who were considered outside the realms of Vedic dharma.
