Is Sumerian an Archaic Tamil?

Question

Rescently when doing a reserch on the olest language, i came across both Tamil and Sumerian as the oldest language, Both language has its pillar of support why each of them were meant to be the oldest, but when researched deeply i encounted Sumerian as Archaic Tamil .
This very much make it clear that old Tamil is indeed the the oldest language in the world.
Btween why are they still viewd in seperate account which is still causing confusion.....
Is this what called "not accepting the fact" ?

Answer 1

Kumari kandam strinking my attention :

A discovery made by a team of marine archaeologists from India’s National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) in March 1991 has begun to bring about a sea-change. Working the off-shore of Tarangambadi-Poompuhar coast in Tamilnadu near Nagapattinam, a research vessel equipped with side-scan sonar, identified a man-made object and described it as “ a horse shoe shaped structure”. In 1993, it was examined again and NIO’s diver archaeologists reported that the U-shaped structure lies at a depth of 23 metres and about 5 kms offshore.

The significance of that discovery is that it is a much older structure to any discovered earlier. Subsequent explorations carried out by Graham Hancock and his team, who working in association with Dr Glen Milne, a specialist in glacio-isotacy and glaciation induced sea-level change, were able to show that areas at 23 metres depth would have submerged about 11,000 years before the present time or 9,000 BC. The historical significance of that fact is that it makes the U-shaped structure 6,000 years older than the first monumental architecture of Egypt or of ancient Sumer or Mesopotamia (in present day Iraq) dated around 3,000 BC and traditionally regarded as the oldest civilisations of antiquity.

Why must Old Tamil be compared with Sumerian, whether Old Tamil is sumerian or not is beside the point, Kumari Kandams" result very much explain how Old Tamil langage is .
So there isnt a need for Tamil to be compared with sumerian to accerlerate it"s quality, who cares if old tamil is known as suerian or not ,Tamil is Tamil and the fact is a fact .

Answer 2

Archaic Sumerian

Answer 4

Yes it is indeed true, this is very much why it is always stated as Tamil being the oldest language and such, even i came across lots of Tamil words in sumerian .......
infact non borrow from each other, coz they are both the same, jus that one in the older form as old Tamil having a nick as sumerian

Answer 5

sumerian cannot be tamil but it is surely Old Tamil
most views and arguements were based on Tamil but not
Old Tamil.
When taken Old Tamil into concern it indeed prove itself being the oldest language in the cover nick of sumerian

Answer 6

as stated by dollhaus Tamil being younger than sanskrit
" MY FOOT "
Sanskrit is no where even near the foot of Tamil, sanskrit is the language of the intruders Artans, the aryans were illiterate nomads who learnt the artd and lit from the Dravdian/Tamils
and later came up with al;l sorths of fabrication which include sanskrit as well, ofcoz the sanskrits vedas and etc... are all Dravidian influence and nothing else,
These are facts...

genetic connections with the Dravidian family of languages have been quite successful . The long suspected affinities between Ural-Altaic languages and Dravidian have been well demonstrated by Stephen Tyler.
Caldwell's conjecture regarding the affinities between Dravidian and Elamite has been confirmed by David MacAlpin
The identification of Elamite as cognate with Dravidian is certainly a significant breakthrough in Dravidiological studies.
It becomes by this identification, the oldest known language with Dravidian affinities to have existed at a place and time crucial in the history of human civilization. Many investigations have also noted connections and similarity between Sumerian and
Old Tamil

Answer 7

Yes Sumerian as as well as Elamite have been identified as Archaic Tamil.

They might be related the actual Sumerian ethnic identity is unknown,Semitic peoples came to that region later. Some theories say the Elamites and the Sumerians were Dravidian peoples.It is not known what language Sumerian might be related to as a language

Answer 9

When Tamil has its" say and facts to prove itself the oldest language a similar facts and data is there to prove sumerian, now it is indeed clear, infact a Proff once told us sumerian and old Tamil, is no diff from each other.

Answer 10

What is this? The Tamil Support Society?

The oldest language is long dead and forgotten for tens of thousands of years, with no written records. The oldest RECORDED, WRITTEN language is Sumerian, roughly 5000 years ago.

There is NO relation between Tamil and Sumerian. Tamil is a Dravidian language - no question. Sumerian is an isolate - no relation to any other known language.

There is a theory floating around that there is an Elamo-Dravidian language family and that the Dravidian ancestors of Tamil were linked to Elamite. Elamite is another Mesopotamian language, partially coexistent with Sumerian - but totally unrelated to Sumerian.

Even if this theory (which is accepted by very few) turns out to have any basis, that does not tie Tamil to Sumerian - just to a language in the same general area.

Old Tamil is old, but no older than many other languages known today, and younger than many - including Sanskrit.

Those are facts.

ADDED: Over the years, there have been attempts to tie Sumerian to Ainu, Basque, and on through the alphabet to Zuni. None have stood up. Sumerian stands alone. There were proably languages related to Sumerian. If there were, they have died out millenia ago with no trace. There is absolutely NO connection between Sumerian and Tamil.

As for age, Tamil is old. No question. BUT Greek, Aramaic, Sanskrit, and Phoenician, just to name a few, are older. Many others are roughly the same age - Old Chinese and Latin, and even Mayan from the new world.
