No matter what religion or what culture, people solemnly declare a command to the 
deities(whatever they are known or unknown) or nature for a certain purpose, this 
ritual is evolved from prayer. Mantra is part of daily life for the East Indian. 
When they wake up, bath, sleep, kill a animal, plow the field, burn incense, 
worship, they sing a few verses called mantra. Buddhist mantra use Sanskrit 
because it was the offical language for the elites, religion and law even before 
the Hiduism era. Buddhism adopted Sanskrit, Pali as the offical text for the 
mantra. Other belief system uses their own mother tongue, they may not call them 
mantra but the tones are basically the same. Buddha Sakyamuni neither approved nor 
disapproved mantras during his life time, because the ritual had been  carried on 
for thousand years, u just can't take it away from the people.
