Pali, a very beautiful lg in my never so humble opinion, was the
language in which the texts were collected but not the Buddha's lg.
Now that my beloved has awakened, I can tell you that the original
language of the Buddha was Ardha-Magadhi, originally spoken near
the present day Nepal-India border.  I am unaware of any grammars
or dictionaries.
