World 10 oldest language - Tamil is No 1, Sanskrit , Hindi ??

[temp1994]

The oldest languages are more in line with the, "click", languages of S. Africa. Vastly older, before humans even went outside Africa.





I dont know why the script matters either. They all descend from brahmi script around the Maurya era, which is only dated around 5th-3rd Century BC.

The scripts are related, the languages are not.

Yup. You are correct.

But who will teach this to these inferiority complex ridden Periyar freaks. I am member of a lot of History Forums, and insanity of Periyar freaks could not be surpassed by anyone.

Unless Tamil is given it's rightful recognition by GOI, which will never happen. The reality - Aryan / Indians will do everything to destroy /suppress Tamil. To safeguard Tamil from this destructive force, TN has to break away from India

And what's that rightful recognition would be??? someone go to TN ask a youngster about splitting TN from India, he/she would give a slap he could never forget.

These all look same....
Malyalam Script
Tamil Script
Telegu Script
Kannada Script
Sinhalese Script
Thai Script

tamil and malayalam script are totally different, though few(very few) letter look alike between tamil and malayalam but they don't have same meaning

while telugu and kannada are like twins

These all look same....
Malyalam Script
Tamil Script
Telegu Script

Oriya script seem to be the most similar to Sinhala with a lot of twirls

tamil is recognised as a official language of tamil nadu by indian constitution check your facts

Tamil /ˈtæmɪl/ (தமிழ், tamiḻ, [t̪ɐmɨɻ] ?) also spelt Thamizh is a Dravidian language spoken predominantly by Tamil people of Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. It has official status in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the Indian Union Territory of Puducherry. Tamil is also an official and national language of Sri Lanka and one of the official languages of Singapore. It is legalised as one of the languages of medium of education in Malaysia along with English, Malay and Mandarin. It is also chiefly spoken in the states of Kerala, Puducherry and Andaman and Nicobar Islands as a secondary language and by minorities in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India and was the first Indian language declared as a classical language by the Government of India in 2004. Tamil is also spoken by significant minorities in Malaysia, England, Mauritius, Canada, South Africa, Fiji, Germany, Philippines, United States, Netherlands, Indonesia, Réunion and France as well as emigrant communities around the world.

Tamil is one of the longest surviving classical languages in the world. 500BC Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions have been found on Adichanallur and 2,200-year-old Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions have been found on Samanamalai. It has been described as "the only language of contemporary India which is recognizably continuous with a classical past. The variety and quality of classical Tamil literature has led to it being described as "one of the great classical traditions and literatures of the world". Tamil literature has existed for over 2000 years. The earliest period of Tamil literature, Sangam literature, is dated from ca. 300 BC – AD 300. It has the oldest extant literature amongst other Dravidian languages. The earliest epigraphic records found on rock edicts and hero stones date from around the 3rd century BC. More than 55% of the epigraphical inscriptions (about 55,000) found by the Archaeological Survey of India are in the Tamil language. Tamil language inscriptions written in Brahmi script have been discovered in Sri Lanka, and on trade goods in Thailand and Egypt The two earliest manuscripts from India, acknowledged and registered by UNESCO Memory of the World register in 1997 and 2005, were in Tamil.

What wrong with you, India is unique by unity in diversity !

It stupid to ask for separate country, then there will no India but 20 odd countries..

As a tamilian I don't ask for separate country instead freedom to use our language and not get forced upon to learn others.. That's it.

good luck to your unity in diversity fantasy, as a 7 % minority , Tamils will have to assimilate with the majority over time, , in the process be prepared to lose your culture , language etc .. the latest victim of Indian cultural hegemony was Jallikaatu ..

Jallikattu was banned by Tamil Nadu government ..

Don't worry about tamil getting forgotten
Tamil if some way got perished , it will be the last language to go in India, if you want to worry, worry about North Indian languages , they are at higher risk than tamil.
