In how many languages do the Buddhist texts appear at present?
现在佛经一般有几种文字？

Many countries have been translating Buddhist texts to their own languages. In Europe, there are texts in Russian, German, English, French, Italian, Finnish, etc., but none of them is complete. Most of these texts are translated from three source languages: (1) Pāli, (2) Chinese and (3) Tibetan. Besides a small part preserved in Nepal and Tibet of China, very few of the Sanskrit canonical texts remain. Thus Buddhist scriptures of the Northern tradition are mostly preserved in China in the Chinese and Tibetan languages.
许多国家都用他们自己的文字翻译了佛经。欧洲有俄文、德文、英文、法文、意大利文、芬兰文等，但是都不齐全，其来源不外乎三大系：（1）巴利文，（2）汉文和（3）藏文。梵文经典现在残存的已很少，尼泊尔和我国西藏还有部分古梵文本留存。北传佛教经籍，大部分保存在我国汉文和藏文藏经里。
