For online Prakrit specifically for Jain text study, these are good options:

1. One‑month Online Prakrit Course (ISJS – “Fundamentals of Prakrit Language and Grammar”)

- Fully online, certificate course. ( isjs.in) - Medium: English (with Devanagari). - Focus: basics of Prakrit and grammar, aimed at those who want to read Prakrit literature (including Jain texts). - Good if you already know Devanagari and want a structured, short program.

1. 15‑day Online Brahmi + Prakrit Workshop (ISJS)

- Online workshop mainly on Brahmi script, but includes work with Prakrit inscriptions and passages. ( isjs.in) - Useful if you eventually want to read older Jain inscriptions/manuscripts, not just printed Devanagari editions.

1. Other Jain Prakrit programs (ISJS, etc.)

- ISJS also runs longer Prakrit programs (like the 9‑month Bhagwan Mahavira Fellowship) focused on Jain Agamic Prakrit; these are usually residential in India, not online, but excellent for deep study if you can attend later. ( isjs.in)

How to choose / prepare

• For Jain scriptures, priority is usually:

- Ardhamāgadhī Prakrit (Śvetāmbara Āgams) - Shauraseni‑type Prakrit and related dialects (many Digambar texts) ( jainknowledge.com)

• While doing any course, parallelly read:

- Namokār Mantra, Logassa, small sutras, etc., in Prakrit with meaning.

• Try to learn with a teacher or course that explicitly mentions Jain Agamas / Jain Prakrit in its syllabus.
