Tamils had trade with Greeks during the days of Plato. Tamil words are found in Greek plays.

Tamils exported teak wood to Israel/Judah during the rule of Solomon.
No no no. People of Kerala was trading with the Greeks, Romans, Middle Easterners, etc, etc. Idk what TN was doing.:troll:

no substantiation needed. i am a nationalistr. we do not make false claims.
Wherever and whenever there were humans on this earth there was trade and languages...no big deal seriously...
Is spite of all of the great past French, Portugal,British, Dutch everyone screwed India including Tamil Nadu....


What's the fun in living in the past when the current situation is rotting ? Or is this is particular reason to live in the past and feel happy because there is no happiness now ?

They spoke Tamil just like how a lot of different N. Indians speak Hindi. They were Cheras who were always in the constant battle with the Cholas, Pandyas, etc.

Anyways. Cheras are Indians just like Cholas, Pandyas, etc... Now :gtfo:.

Just like your other BS claims.
Malayalam originated as a separate language from Tamil around 6th century AD.
The script at that time was Vatt ezhuthu (round writing). Later it modified to Kolezhuthu (straight writing) and Malayanma scripts. Later on to Arya ezhuthu (arya writing, due to heavy influx of Sanskrit ) and later on to the Modern Malayalam script.

Well, we need substantiation, cause it's hard to believe anything that a troll says.

Malayalam incorporated many elements from Sanskrit through the ages and today over eighty percent of the vocabulary of Malayalam in scholarly usage is from Sanskrit.[8]
Due to its lineage deriving from both Sanskrit and Tamil, the Malayalam alphabet has the largest number of letters among the Indian languages.[13] Malayalam script includes letters capable of representing all the sounds of Sanskrit and all Dravidian languages.[14][15][16]

Cheers man, I have great respect for Mallus. They are the southern vanguards of Aryavarta. :namaste:

Telugu is also heavily Sanskritized, but maybe not to the same extent as Malayalam. I think around 75-80% of Telugu words are derived from Sanskrit.

Yeah, but only old people and scholars speak shuddha Malayalam. Somehow the youngsters these days corrupt the words. But, I guess that is how a language evolve.
For example the Malayalam word for elder brother/son (Jyeshta/ Jyeshta putra) has become chetan. And in Southern KL people have started using anna due to influx of Tamil.
But I wonder why Telugu people use anna, inspite of the original word being, Jyeshta. I guess injection of Tamil maybe.

Yeah, it is Tamil influence. Though 'Jyeshta' is not unknown, it is just not used frequently. The literary/scholarly Telugu used in poems and literature uses much more Sanskrit vocabulary than the everyday colloquial language.

Never!

South India preserved what was happening in North,East India before the Islamic/Central Asian invasions. In terms of architecture, culture, etc. Just look at North India before those invasions. And look at South India when N. India was being invaded and blending those culture different cultures with its own. S. India kept it going.

I definitely believe there was a migration of Gupta, etc style people moving down to S. India.

Oh come on. It's so uncommon these. Its almost always either 'chetan', or 'cheta' or 'chettai' etc :) My dear bro calls me 'ettai', even shorter than 'chettai'.
But yeah, it is still used.
Btw, 'chetta' means something else :)

Why are you so desperate ? Let people to judge. If it is really great or if it is useful in someway people will pick it up on their own...You crying all the time and desperately advertising will have negative impact on the language in spite of the language itself being great...
