Question

What is the origins, history, and relationship btwn Malayalees and Tamils? There is always a debate about who came first, who is smarter, blah blah. I think that is ridiculous but I would like to know what I asked above. Please help out if anyone knows.

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

Im a Malayalee and I'd say we are a bunch of nice loving people. Hehe. But the answer to your question?Sorry mate, no idea. Malayalees originated from Kerala in India i guess. Yeah, that I'm sure of. Good luck.

Answer 2

I am from Kochin.
I had a lot of Tamil girl friends when I was in Chennai.
That too for many years I was there.

And we all were not just friends.
They shared "everything" with me saying that its all part of friendship.

I have had sex with all my Tamil girl friends in Chennai in different hotels as they took the initiative.

Now all girls got married and settled. Still many of them calling me and contacting me in secret. Now also those girls continue all friendship and entertainment with me.

I will not announce any of those Tamil girls' name here because I don't have to achieve anything by doing it.

They need my presence and why should I deny it ???

Hi there
I am not a Tamil not even Malayalees .I am a Pakistani , but i have a Tamil Indian friend with reference to whom i got to know much about Tamil civilization .
Fist thing is the connection b/w Tamilians and Malayalees .These both ethnicities are included in Dravidian race.
Tamil literature tells about its history and how old this civilization is .
Their very famous book Thirukural by Thiruvaluvar is very old ,500BC.

The pre-classical period

.The origins of the Tamil people, like those of the other Dravidian peoples, are unknown, although genetic and archaeological evidence suggest a possible migration into India around 6000 BC (Gadgil 1997). Connections with the Elamite people of ancient Iran have been suggested, but there is little solid evidence to support this view. It has also been suggested that the people of the Indus Valley Civilization were either Tamil or another Dravidian people (see e.g. Parpola 1974; 2003), but this theory is deeply controversial and there is at present no academic consensus on the identity of the Indus people.

The earliest clear evidence of the presence of the Tamil people in modern Tamil Nadu (see also History of Tamil Nadu) are the megalithic urn burials, dating from around 1000 BC and onwards, which have been discovered at various places in Tamil Nadu, notably Adichanallur. These burials conform in a number of details to the descriptions of funerals in classical Tamil literature, and appear to be concrete evidence of the existence of Tamils in southern India during that period. Recent excavations at these sites have also provided samples of early Tamil writing, dating back to at least 500 BC

Now coming to Malayaless

With Tamil, Toda, Kota, Kodava Thakk and Kannada, Malayalam belongs to the southern group of Dravidian languages. Its affinity to Tamil is the most striking. Proto-Tamil Malayalam, the common stock of Tamil and Malayalam apparently diverged over a period of four of five centuries from the ninth century on, resulting in the emergence of Malayalam as a language distinct from Tamil. As the language of scholarship and administration Tamil greatly influenced the early development of Malayalam. Later the irresistible inroads the Namboothiris and Nambiars made into the cultural life of Kerala and the trade relationships with Arabs and the conquest of Kerala by Portuguese, establishing vassal states accelerated the assimilation of many Romance, Semitic and Indo-Aryan features into Malayalam at different levels spoken by different castes and religious communities like Muslims, Christians and Hindus.

It shows that both these races are inter related , their evolution is side to side , but one thing for sure that Tamil is oldest , we know much about it , its literature is preserved in palm leaves .Those speaking tamil can easily speak Malayalam , same with Malayaless .

I live in Karachi , sindh .Sindh has old civilization , the Indus valley civilization .Some of the researchers say that Aryans drove dravidians southwards when they came in that part .
Also we have evidence of Lemuria (the lost continent), which shows how developed the Tamilians were .
