What is the oldest Indian language?

Question

I am doing research on South Asian language, i am tounching on the oldest language as well, my research is leading me to India.
SANSKRIT and TAMIL is what i am always coming across,
most book do supprot sanskrit, but some book say it is due to political backing where sanskrit is known to be the oldest, on the other hand Tamil language is leading me to the time of Lemuria aslo known as the Kumari Kandam, which is dating back more than 15 000 yrs ,this concludes sanskrit language to have no fight when compare age with Tamil.

My query is both Sanskrit and Tamil are Indian languages so why is there biasness towards sanskrit when Tamil is much older ?

Secondly if Tamil language hold such a rich history why is another Indian language in compete with it ?

Thirdly India view on fellow Indians and indians on the way they view Indian language is so complicating for me to understand,
can anyone care to clear my doubt please

Answer 1

Sanskrit

Answer 2

Definitly Tamil has a much richer and a longer history than Sanskrit .The vedas were infact the borrowed idea and influence of Dravidian/Tamil, coz the aryans were naturally illiterates, all their infomation were actually based on the Native Dravidians Knowledge and teaching
India was a dravidian"s country in the ancient period and Tamil was the oldest language and it was calld Lemmoria
(The continent was called lemurian or Kumari Kandam)
So Tamil is no doubt the the oldest language not only in India but the world.

Ur questions Tan

1)why is there biasness towards sanskrit when Tamil is much older ?
This is to save the honour of Hindi which is ver much forced into all the Indian state making it a national language, making sanskrit trying to be known as the oldest Indian language, will benefit Hindi since Hindi is a daughter of Sanskrit, it is an indo-aryan language derived from Hindi.

2)if Tamil language hold such a rich history why is another Indian language in compete with it ?

They can come up with all fabrications Tan, but truth is always there and fabrications wont last long

Yes India is complicating, that is why India is still backward, not that ther arent any brains, we have world class brains and at the same time, the number one enemy for Indias arts and literaature and truth is Indians.

Answer 3

The Dravidian language is considered to be of a more ancient origin than the Indo-Aryan language,
with Tamil being the mother of the SDravidian tongue especially being an extremely rich language and the most ancient.

Tamil is the only language which has the same grammar structure today as it had in the ancient times and uses the same words today as the ancient times.
This makes Tamil the oldest living ancient language.

Tamil is way much older than Sanskrit, the birth of sanskrit is purely Tamil languages influence, Sanskrit is not a pure Indian language no doubt ot was created in India by the Aryans.

It is a hard rock fact that sanskrit is a language of the intruders Aryans wheras Tamil is the native language of Mother India

Answer 4

Tamil is dating back more than 5-7000 BC

Sanskrit is nowhere near Tamil, the brith of sanskrit is due to the influence of Tamil, no doubt sanskrit could have influence many Indian languages including Tamil in the modern times, but it"s in "modern" period, well it is influence, but as far as age is concern Tamil is very much older .

As mentioned Tamil language is dating back more then 7000 BC
Even if i subtract half of of that age,
sanskrit is no comparison to Tamil

How the hell can an intruders arayns language be comapred to a classical ancient language like Tamil, as for the above mentioned by someone tat Tamil derived from sanskrit, this is the biggest joke i can think off,

Sanskrit is mainly a language of some nomads which is created during 1500bc when the Aryans came for shelter in the Indian soil,
Aryans arn"t the natural inhabitants of India in the first place,
then how can their language Sanskrit be an Indian language,
it is a permenent resident in the Indian soil,

Answer 5

Definitly Tamil

why sanskrit cannot be older than Tamil ?

1- The birth of Tamil language is dating back more than
10 000bc which is way much beyond the reach.

Lets not bother about 10 000bc, jus take 5000bc for instance, where is Sanskrit ? It is still swimming in the brains of the nomads Aryans.

Sanskrit only came to during 1500bc , it"s creation like vedas and such are of the ancient Tamils" influence because no way the Aryans would have gotten all these info from, as the Aryans were known to be illiterates, Sanskrit is a creation of identity for the Aryans, then came the fabrication like caste system and such which pollutes the Hinduism and the Purity of Tamil culture.

So now we can be clear of the ancient quality Tamil language attain.
Tamil is the mother of all Indian Language and the cradle to any Tongue

Answer 6

Tamil is the oldest Indian language and infact the oldest language in the world much older than Greek and Latin

Sanskrit is the language of the intruders Aryans, the aryans were illiterate nomads who learnt the arts and literature from the native Dravdian/Tamils
and later came up with all sorts of fabrication which include sanskrit as well, ofcoz the sanskrits vedas and etc... are all Dravidian influence and nothing else,

These are facts...

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 as Old Tamil .

History of Tamil language is way much older than the indus valley, infact it dates back more than 10 000 BC.

How can anyone compare Sanskrit to Tamil which has a clear cut history .
It is true that Sanskrits" birth is no doubt due to the influence of Tamil.
Without Tamil there is no Sanskrit , which is why it is said Tamil being the mother of all Indian languages.

Answer 7

You have already mentioned that in ur research
u have found that
the existance of
Tamil language is dating back more than 15 000 yrs,
wheras Sanskrit was only formed during 1500bc.

This clearly shows that Tamil langauge is the oldest language.

Why do you still want to ask such a question, look at the above answers, upoon giving all the facts some jokers will still support the Sanskrit ,coz they will neaver accept the fact coz they are mainly from the speakers of the indo-aryan language which derived from Sanskrit, so they will try not to accpet the fact.
No doubt we are Indians, we have internal politics.

Americans greatest enemy is Iraq
Chinas" greates enemy is Taiwan'
Korea" greatest enemy is US

&
Indias greatest enemey is Indians ,

It is clear Tamil to be the oldest, what is there for Tamil language to be compared to Sanskrit .

There are numerous literary references in the classical Tamil texts to the existence of the First Academy in Kumari under the patronage of numerous Pandian kings.
It appears that the fabled land of Kumari/Lemuria is none other than Sumeru or at least a name given to the newly colonized country in memory of that which they lost to the flood more than
20 000yrs ago

It appears the fabled land of Kumari is identified with Sumeru.

The word Sumer is drived by the Sumerilogists from the primitive ‘ ki-en-,gi’.

Following the phonetic changes in another word of similar phonetic structure viz. dinger>dimmer, we can derive an

intermediate ‘kimmer’ and ‘kumer’ between ‘ki-en-egi-’ and Sumer.

kii.~en~gi>kimmer>*Kwer>Sumer

The ‘kumer’ is surprisingly close .Tu.kumeru and Ta. Kumari, mean­ing agricultural tracts or cultivation on the hills, a meaning that fits well the predominantly agricultural land of Sumer.

Answer 8

Tamil language is the oldest and the native Indian language which attain an ancient quality .
unlike sanskrit which is surviving in lies and fraud and political and brahminism backing

reserch on the olest language,explains 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 we can encounter
Sumerian as Archaic Tamil .
This very much make it clear that old Tamil is indeed the the oldest language in the world.
The sumerian civilisation is a civilisation which has a sudden appearance, research has proven that it is due to the natural destruction on Lemuria or also known as Kumari Kandam which is the present day Tamil Nadu lies in, where the scattering and the appearance of a new civilisation like the sumerians gets explained.
Infact Sumerian or Dravidian, they are the same,
Tamil is indeed the oldest, please do not compare it with Sanskrit which is a language of the nomads

Answer 9

Tamil is way much older than Sanskrit .

Tamil civilisation existed more than 5,000 years ago.

The unfolding archaeological and geological evidence is proving to be the historical validation that Tamil civilisation which reached a high-point during the first 2 Tamil Sangams had their beginnings 11,000 years ago or circa 9,000 BC.
Sanskrit is jus an extra disturbance to the richness of Tamil language, well it is indeed the Hindian fellows trying to make their mother of Indo aryans language known to be the oldest language to the world, stupid attempt is what i would say,

The evidence currently available, is a soild archaeological, geological evidence having the "Kumari Kandam" or the Lemuria the lost and submerged land which is dating more than
20 000 yrs , it is due to that that the Tamil flew to the north in fear of such destruction and came up with the Indus Valley civilisation, infact Tamil civilisation is dating back way much older than the indus valley harrappan civilisation, the sanskrit is a language of the aryans, only came to birth after 1500bc, it is no comparison with Tamil

Answer 10

I do not know but Arian and Dravidians where in India long time ago, if you can say that Tamil is non Sanskrit base language and it is a drawian's language then. Drawidians were pushes back from Indus Valley at one time.

"but some book say it is due to political backing where sanskrit is known to be the oldest".

May be true.

Answer 11

Tamil is one of the four oldest languages in the world -
Latin, Greek, Tamil and Sanscrit.
Tamil is a member of the Dravidian Language family.
Dating back more than 5000 BC,
Tamil has the oldest written records of any Indian language Tamil is the mother of all the Indian language, including sanskrit which later arrived with the Aryans .
