I'm not an expert on Tamil history or literature but I'm sure that Tamil is an older language than Hindi / Urdu simply by the fact that it is a Dravidian language rather than an Indo-European language. Elamo-Dravidian peoples were in Pakistan, India, even Iran before the Indo-European (or Indo-Aryan) invasions from Russia and Tajikistan which began around 1000 B.C.

According to Wikipedia, Hindi evolved from Sanskrit by way of Prakit sometime around 1000 A.D. This is comparatively late, historically speaking. I'm sure some form of Tamil was around long before. In fact, I know that Tamil traders were coming into Malaya and Indonesia between 400 and 700 A.D.

Elamo-Dravidians and Indo-Aryans both appear to have originated somewhere in northern Europe but Elamo-Dravidians arrived in India much earlier.

Tamil is older than any language. Some tamil words still spoken by interiro african language. Why don't you idiots research more?. Seriously. Sumerian is 3500 years old. My theory is all afrian languages are >10000 years old. Because some middle african kid will never say tamil word erumbu ( ant) in youtube. Its absolutely impossible for tamils to contact or influence western africa. Sanskirit developed 500bc...and all history was overhyped...its more indian politics than anything else. if someone does research without bias and just listening to all languages and travel around the world , they will come to understanding all comes from proto tamil ( not current tamil). My theory is what ever language from africa ..they all moved out and evolved in their own branch. one created korean and another created tamil. Both has same sound roots.
