agastya codified Sanskrit.so n written format before this codification??Tamil script has been found even in Harrappa, Mohanjo Daro, ancient Sumeria, egypt etc. even in India both sanskrit and Tamil has co existed for over 10k yrs and Rishi Agatshya had codified these two languages. It is for this reason that these two languages are very close to eachother and it is difficult to make out which originated from whom. But the fact is that while sanskrit was a language which was spoken by only the upper class of society like more of a court language, Tamil was the language of commoners.
