Which means all the Indian languages, irrespective of Tamil origin or Sanskrit origin, came from Tamil. That would mean no need for Tamil nationalism. @manlion , what a self-defeating argument you have put forth?

Unless Tamil is given it's rightful recognition by GOI, which will never happen. The reality - Aryan / Indians will do everything to destroy /suppress Tamil. To safeguard Tamil from this destructive force, TN has to break away from India

The oldest languages are more in line with the, "click", languages of S. Africa. Vastly older, before humans even went outside Africa.

I dont know why the script matters either. They all descend from brahmi script around the Maurya era, which is only dated around 5th-3rd Century BC.

The scripts are related, the languages are not.

LOL......

What a crapload of bullmanure!!!


Oldest evidence of existence of Tamil are from 300AD, with potential of being extended to 300BC at maximum..

These Periyar freaks never ceases to amaze me. They claim everything from Korean to Finnish as Dravidian language.

Yes! And even Dinasours spake Tamil!!!
