 Dravidian languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caldwell coined the term "Dravidian" from the Sanskrit drāvida, which was used in a 7th century text to refer to the languages of the south of India.
The Dravidian family of languages includes approximately 26 languages that are mainly spoken in southern India and Sri Lanka, as well as certain areas in Pakistan, Nepal, and eastern and central India, as well as in parts of Afghanistan and Iran.
A few scholars include the Dravidian languages in a larger Elamo-Dravidian language family, which includes the ancient Elamite language of what is now southwestern Iran; but this is not accepted by most of the Dravidianists.

 ninemsn Encarta - Dravidian Languages
As a written language of learning, Sanskrit seems to have exerted strong influence even on the earliest known Dravidian language, and in the modern Malayalam, Kannada, and Telugu languages, Sanskrit loanwords retain the four distinctions between stop consonants that are characteristic of Indo-Aryan but not of Dravidian.
Dravidian Languages, important family of languages spoken mainly in southern India and northern Sri Lanka.
The Dravidian languages can be subdivided as follows: North (Kurukh or Oraon); Central (Kolami); South-Central (Gondi, Koya, Kui, Telugu); South (Kannada, Kodagu or Coorgi, Malayalam, Tamil, Tulu); and one set of nine unclassified languages.

 Dravidian India
The Aryan God, Varuna, was probably the God of the Dravidian tribes, being on the borders of the sea, to whom the Aryan Rishis accorded a place in their pantheon.
The God of the Dravidian agricultural tribes was merged in the personality of the Vedic Indra.
The Aryan Rudra is another God of the Dravidian tribes.

 Facts about Dravidian languages
The antecedents of the term Dravidian like dramila, dramida and dravida found in Sanskrit sources had varying designates historically referring to people, region or language of the whole of the South or a part of it, that is, Tamil.
This could be because the historically older language data in them are available in their preserved written texts, which are, in addition, conservative with regard to change in the spoken language.
It is the author's contribution that the south Dravidian further sub-divides into two with Telugu standing apart from the other three literary languages.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Dravidian race
The Dravidians and South Indians have been in some respects the best preservers of ancient Vedic culture and traditions, especially when the north of India was dominated by Buddhism and later was affected by Islam.
The Dravidian Race is the name sometimes still given to the peoples of southern and central India and northern Sri Lanka who speak Dravidian languages, the best known of which are Telugu(&;) and Tamil.
The term arose from assumptions by nineteenth century Western scholars that Dravidian speakers were earlier inhabitants of India than the speakers of the Indo-Aryan languages in the north of the country.

 DISCOVERY OF DRAVIDIAN AS THE COMMON SOURCE OF INDO-EUROPEAN
The fact that the Dravidian l (as in the Dravidian word ali = to nourish (301-Ta;) became l (of Indo-European al I = to nourish), is an important point to observe.
It should be noted that Burrow’s estimation of the Dravidian words in Sanskrit becomes an understatement of the second millennium because, as we are witnessing and as we shall continue to witness in this chapter, the very root-words of the Indo-European languages are Dravidian words.
Another popularly used Dravidian Kannada word which is pronounced both as hale and ale (the latter in every day speech especially in Mysur Kannada dialect) precisely denotes: old, which meaning is also denoted by this IE root al I.

 Dravidian languages --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Brahui, a Dravidian language, is used in Pakistan and Iran.
All other Dravidian languages are spoken in peninsular India; Brahui's isolation from the other languages of the family has resulted in heavy borrowing from surrounding non-Dravidian languages (e.g., Balochi, Sindhi, Persian).
Spoken primarily in southern India, the seven major Dravidian languages are Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Gondi, Kurukh, and Tulu.

 Is the Dravidian movement dying?
The word Dravidian is, for example, a Sanskrit word.
That sentiment means a death knell for the Dravidian movement because nationalism undercuts the possibility of Tamil separatism.
Although the Dravidian movement has definitely re-positioned the majority securely in Tamil society, which is an essential requirement of secular democracy, it has set back Tamil Nadu in the national political power structure.

 Changing Mores of the Dravidian Movement
Today, in contrast, the ‘black shirt’ of the Dravidian movement from the days of ‘Periyar’ E V Ramaswamy Naicker is better known as the traditional attire of the Sabarimala pilgrim during his annual 41-day abstinence period.
What is now acknowledged as the ‘Dravidian movement’ has had origins in the ‘non-Brahmin movement’ of the Justice Party variety and the like in the first quarter of the 20th century.
All of this goes to add strength to the argument that the larger Tamil community, and also the Dravidian movement, which has played catalyst to the socio-political evolution in the region, has come a full circle in the past century — which could be correctly described as the ‘Dravidian century’.

 The Dravidian Problem - Dr.D.M.Rasanagaiam
Against this view, is the hypothesis that the home of the Dravidians may best be sought beyond the borders of India, the centre of dispersal ranging from Central Asia to the Mediterranean lands and the islands of the Aegean sea.
It was pointed out that a common system of religious belief animated the life of the ancient Mediterraneans as of the Dravidians, beliefs symbolised by the Axe, the Horn, the Stone or the Pillar, the Bull of the Ligurians and the Dolmens of the Iberians.
The original home of the Dravidians was South India; and as no relationship has yet been established between Dravidian languages and those of any other family, the former might be regarded as indigenous...

 Britannica Article on Dravidian
The actual term Dravidian was first employed by Robert A. Caldwell, who introduced the Sanskrit word dravida (which, in a 7th-century text, obviously meant Tamil) into his epoch-making A Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian or South Indian Family of Languages (1856).
Apart from a possible Dravidian word in the Hebrew text of the Bible (tukkhiyim “peacocks”; cf.
The term dravida itself is almost certainly a Sanskritization (with an inserted “hypercorrect” r) of the earlier Pali and Prakrit terms damilo, damila, davida, which must have been derived from the Tamil name of the language, tamil.

 The Aryan-Dravidian Controversy
Such so-called scholars did not bother to examine the fact that most religions and mythologies including those of the ancient American Indians, Egyptians, Greeks and Persians have the idea of such a battle between light and darkness (which is the symbolic conflict between truth and falsehood), but we do not interpret their statements racially.
In addition the traditional inventor of the Dravidian languages was said to have been none other than Agastya, one of the most important rishis of the Rig Veda, the oldest Sanskrit text.
This idea was taken further and Hindu gods like Krishna, whose name means dark, or Shiva who is portrayed as dark, were said to have originally been Dravidian gods taken over by the invading Aryans (under the simplistic idea that Dravidians as dark-skinned people must have worshipped dark colored gods).

This is indicative of the possible co-existential relationships between the tribes of the South and these parts of the subcontinent and could also be a hint that the speakers of these two languages are descendants of migrants from the South.
While Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu have been relatively more influenced by Sanskrit and have borrowed the aspirated consonants from Sanskrit with certain common Sanskrit words and derivatives, Tamil is the least influenced and retains the closest form of the Proto-Dravidian language postulated.
The South-Central Dravidian sub-group has also broken away from the South Dravidian group based on contextual differences Telugu displays with respect to other languages, notably Tamil.

 ETRUSCAN, A DRAVIDIAN TONGUE?
And, as we adduce in the Glossary’s text, it was the Sanskrit language that borrowed from the Dravida family and calendar, and not vice-versa, as it also did for the other months.
The month’s Etruscan name in fact derives from the Sanskrit rather than from the present Dravidian name of the month, which is in turn related to #869 adi, addi, endi (sun).
These changes are far larger than that between ain and yan- or even than that be among the Dravidian tongues themselves: al, alv-, ant-, yal, ali, aln, alu- at-, etc..

 The Dravidian movement
In focussing on Tamil national identity, the concept of a ``Dravidian'' civilisational identity was lost.
All other challenging cultural traditions, whether based on the masses of the Bahujans and the Dalits, or among the Adivasis or in linguistic-national identities, were relegated to regional or local ``Little Traditions.'' Devatas like Murugan or Vithoba were proclaimed as forms of Vishnu or Shiva; Adivasi religions today are similarly appropriated.
Here it is necessary to consider and reconsider the answer given by Periyar and the Tamil non-Brahman movement generally: that the way forward is through a kind of national liberation, a recognition of a positive alternative community which was taken to be a ``Dravidian'' identity or a ``Tamil'' national identity.

 5.4. LINGUISTIC ARGUMENTS
Note that earlier outspoken fans of Dravidian culture didn’t mind describing the Dravidians as immigrants: unlike the Aryans, they were bringers rather than destroyers of civilization, but they were immigrants nonetheless.
I am not sure this will convince everyone: if Dravidian is not genetically linked with all the said language groups, it might still be so with one of them, viz.
Or should we follow Tamil chauvinists in assuming that the Dravidians came from Tamil Nadu and the now-submerged lands to its South, and took their language and civilization to Africa?

They could have been bilinguals who knew `Dravidian' and `Vedic'; maybe their first language was really Dravidian even though they had Sanskrit names as has been true in South India for much of historical times; or they were purely Sanskrit speaking.
It was Bishop Caldwell (1875) who suggested that the South Indian languages of Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Telegu formed the separate Dravidian family of languages.
Linguists agree that based on certain structural relationships the North and the South Indian languages are closer than Sanskrit and Greek (Emeneau 1980).

Piero Meriggi in his book “ Zur_Indus Scrift “ (which means On the Indus Script) written in the German language was of the opinion that Brahui, spoken even now in Balochistan, is the Dravidian Language which must be the original language of the Harappans.
It will be of great interest to note that Ainul Hag Faridkoti in his book “ Urdu zaban ki Qadeem Tareekh (Urdu: The History of ancient Urdu) and in ‘Pre-Aryan origin of Pakistani languages: A monograph” claims that the first languages of the present day Pakistan are Dravidian.

 3.4. EXCHANGES WITH OTHER LANGUAGE FAMILIES
It is not impossible that there ever was a pure Dravidian language in South India, but in the oldest texts already, we find a Dravidian written in a Brahmi-derived script and influenced by Sanskrit.
Even if we accept as non-IE all the elements in Sanskrit described as such by various scholars, the non-IE contribution is still not greater than in some of the European branches of IE.
According to Eric Hamp, the phonetic conditions favouring the differentiation dental/retroflex “can be traced in the Indo-European patrimony of Sanskrit”.

 DISCOVERY OF DRAVIDIAN AS THE COMMON SOURCE OF INDO-EUROPEAN
Concerning the segment of words alone, a significant number of Dravidian words which have been erroneously ascribed a non-Dravidian origin are of great importance to Dravidian since they prove several related matters concerning Indian contribution to the world.
Inasmuch as such words relate to Indian cultural, religious, social, and other manifestations, they are also important in further realizing its extraordinary antiquity, endurance, and greatness as an Indian phenomenon which lit up ancient Europe that was in the darkness of prehistory.
What is also clear here is that the Indo-European phonetic correspondences which we noted above in their genetic relationship with Dravidian, did not materialize out of thin air, but have their roots embedded in Dravidian, their common source.

 SILEBR 2004/003 — Review of “Comparative Dravidian linguistics”
Chapter 7 analyzes a Tamil text occurring in Panditaradhyacaritra, a Telugu literary work of the Twelfth Century written by Palkuriki Somanatha, providing evidence for the conclusion that intervocalic and post-nasal stops were completely voiced in Tamil even by the time of the branching off of Malayalam from Tamil.
All these papers, most of which are devoted to central problems of phonology and morphology/syntax of Dravidian, surely contribute to advancing our knowledge of comparative and historical Dravidian in the second half of the Twentieth Century.
Comparative Dravidian Linguistics by Bhadriraju Krishnamurti, one of the most eminent Dravidianists of our time, is a collection of twenty-one important articles, twenty of which have been published during the period 1955–1998 either in professional journals or as book chapters, including some festschrifts.

he survival of Brahui, a Dravidian language, spoken even today by large numbers of people in Baluchistan and the adjoining areas in Afghanistan and Iran, is an important factor in the identification of the Indus Civilization as Dravidian.
The cumulative weight of evidence makes Dravidian the most likely language to have been spoken bv the Harappans.
