Tamil is one of the longest-surviving classical languages in the world.[17][18] Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions from 500 BC have been found on Adichanallur[19] and 2,200-year-old Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions have been found on Samanamalai.[20] A. K. Ramanujan described it as "the only language of contemporary India which is recognizably continuous with a classical past."[21] The variety and quality of classical Tamil literature has led to it being described as "one of the great classical traditions and literature of the world".
According to linguists like Bhadriraju Krishnamurti, Tamil, as a Dravidian language, descends from Proto-Dravidian, a proto-language. Linguistic reconstruction suggests that Proto-Dravidian was spoken around the third millennium BC, possibly in the region around the lower Godavari river basin in peninsular India. The material evidence suggests that the speakers of Proto-Dravidian were of the culture associated with the Neolithic complexes of South India.[42] The next phase in the reconstructed proto-history of Tamil is Proto-South-Dravidian. The linguistic evidence suggests that Proto-South-Dravidian was spoken around the middle of the second millennium BC, and that proto-Tamil emerged around the 3rd century BC. The earliest epigraphic attestations of Tamil are generally taken to have been written shortly thereafter.[43]
Among Indian languages, Tamil has the most ancient non-Sanskritic Indian literature.[44]Scholars categorise the attested history of the language into three periods: Old Tamil (300 BC–AD 700), Middle Tamil (700–1600) and Modern Tamil (1600–present).[45] In November 2007, an excavation at Quseir-al-Qadim revealed Egyptian pottery dating back to first century BC with ancient Tamil Brahmi inscriptions.[29] John Guy states that Tamil was the lingua franca for early maritime traders from India.[46]
