Answer 2

Tamil is older than Sansrit The so call found old text which date bk 250bc Tholkaapiyam is an estabilished text by then, which means by the time Tholkaapiyam was written, it was already a well established text, So this very much explains that Tamil text written earlier than that were destroyed by the intruders Aryans the founders of Sanskrit. If a modern Tamil book like Tholkaapiyam is dating bk 200-250 bc what abt the medevial text ? How long will it date bk what abt the ancient text ? How long will it date bk These are doubts that make real sure that Tamil is way much older than Sanskrit, but as for Sanskrit it was only formed after the aryans, When did the Aryans came ? 1500BC When and how long did the illiterate Aryans took develope their brains when they were in the Indus Valley the home of the Dravidian ? These very much explains by the time the Aryans develope their knowledge, it must be later than that , that they should have came up with Sanskrit. The Aryans must have learnt Tamil themselve before creating Sanskrit Comparing Sanskrit with Tamil is an insult to Tamil a native Indian language being compared with a Trespasser Tamil is Tens of Centuries older than Sanskrit no questions abt it, the truth is denied in the eyes of jealousy by the Hindian political grp which is having the Central Goverment Grib

Answer 3

How Old Is Sanskrit Language

Answer 4

(m)

Tamil is the oldest and purest of the four Dravidian languages.

Ancient Indian literature is not all about the Vedas; it’s about Sangam literature too. Tamil, the oldest and truest of the Dravidian speeches, boasts of this literary tradition of more than 2,200 years, the most remarkable body of secular poetry extant in India. While other pre-Aryan languages were happily courting Sanskrit and Prakrit (600 BC-600AD), Old Tamil stood firm in its corner refusing to yield. However, the evolutionary story of the language and script are a controversy among scholars even today.

Sanskrit Originated From Vedic Age

Truly a fountainhead, if one surveys its three thousand years of its existence. The story of the evolution of Sanskrit began right from the Vedic age, sailing through the post-Vedic years and centuries later till today.
The Aryans collected the mass of hymns, rituals and poems about their gods in the four Vedas (10th century BC) which document the various dialects that they brought to India (but that wasn’t the Sanskrit we know of today).

From the Punjab, where the Aryans settled first after they came from Central Asia, their speech spread along the east as far as present Bihar by about 600 BC.
Obviously this Vedic or Old Indo-Aryan language met with the language of the Dravidians (who were then not restricted to just the southern regions) and Austrics, and some give and take happened.
The result was Prakrit or Middle Indo-Aryan dialect which soon engulfed the whole country in the north, east and centre. The Aryan invasion was moving towards completion.

Meanwhile, the ‘pure’ Aryans in Punjab were very unhappy about their sacred language getting ‘defiled’. So between 8th and 4th century BC, they came up with Classical Sanskrit, based on the old Vedic speech. But for all practical purposes, the origin of the language is taken to be the old Vedic Sanskrit.

Answer 5

I answered this in another of your questions:

The Tamil and Sanskrit languages are more than 10,000 years old. There are copies of texts written prior to 10,000 years ago. Linguists can only speculate how old long the language existed before its evolution to a written language, but it appears to be the oldest living "written language" based on ancient texts found.

Answer 6

Tamil is the oldest language of all others.

Answer 7
