The battle for the title of the "World's Oldest Language" rages on, and Tamil is thrown into the ring. Is Tamil the oldest language in the world? No. But don't tell Alex Collier...
I don't know why are you mocking an other language for your language? Hey brother Vedic Sanskrit is of course older than Tamil ( it has legitimate evidences like Rig Veda and stone Inscriptions) . And oldest Kingdom is Pandya? Which school you studied, Do you even heard about Kengir, Sumer kingdoms of Egypt which are 5000 + yrs old. Mauryan Empire, Nandha dynasty all of these are older than Pandyas. I am saying all these as a Malayali from your neighborhood please be educated Tamizh and Pandya kingdom have other 100 reasons to be called as great language or great empire.
@@ThangappanPPyes brother I don't know why they mock sanskrit. Do they jealous of sanskrit language? I don't know . Sanskrit is a dead language that's why there is no one to come and defend and this is the reason why they mock sanskrit because sanskrit is the one of the oldest language .
@@GautamJha-ft2qe so according to statistics there are around 90 million people who use Tamil in their dialy life, but orginal version of Sanskrit, latin, Greek are known as dead languages,or only used for educational or rituals purposes
Excuse me mental Tamil oldest grammetical work Tholkappium from 2300 years ago that also third grammetical work in Tamil and can show any this much older grammetical work in summerian or egyptian language ?????
Bro what are you saying, if inscriptions of Tamil are 2300 years old then it is still 300 bc and he said oldest Tamil inscription is 600 bc. You yourself are saying he is mad showing wrong facts but then you are agreeing by saying it is 2300 years old.
@@righttime6186That means that the oldest inscription in Tamil would only be from 600 BCE. This is significantly younger than other languages like the ones mentioned in the videos.
Gandu DMK😂, sanskrit has well defined letters, unlike your idli language that had single letters for letters - k for k , kh, ga, gha. P for p , ph , ba, bha etc etc, how can a language not have letters , will sound something without letters Who said sanskrit has no Alphabet? Gandu suarchod thinks sanskrit is written in hindi. Script and Language are two different things - according to Rishis language is the mapping of thoughts with words that is sounds. Scripts is how you write some words (sounds) in language with symbols. Language is not dependent on alphabet, script is.
@@Rainzy42 you can tell lies about me but what I told about Sanskrit that was true and It is mother tongue for no one in India. It was written using other language letters like Paali, Prakirutham or Devanagari script.
It is Chinese that is the oldest surviving and still spoken by the 1.4 billion people on earth not Tamil 😊. Un Tamiluku perumei pedan oldest language akanama?
@@teoengchin Brother what I meant with using the word Chinese for the language because of multiple dialects. It is confirmed that the Shang Dynasty's born inscription of ancient Chinese language (no name because of multiple dialects) is 3250 yrs older and the oldest written record of Tamil falls between 2600 - 2300 yrs . Both are surviving and Chinese faced more evolution because of the huge population many dialects has changed but the language it still that, even the script is also surviving so no doubt Chinese dialects are the oldest still widely spoken language Tamil would be in second place . So as a Malayali from Kerala I also take proud in the antiquity of Tamil as my language is derived from it. But putting false claims for our own pleasure and ego is not right at least I think it is not good. Vedic Sanskrit is older than Tamil and Chinese but today no one speaks it, why? Because it was a literary language not a spoken language. It is called Deva bhasa and devas speaks through texts only. So vedic Sanskrit or Classical Sanskrit both were languages for literature.
Studies by Statenian linguist Albert Clay: Tamil "Because it meets three precise criteria (having an ancient origin, an independent tradition and a consistent volume of literature), India declared Tamil a classical language of the country in 2004. According to Britannica, the language is official in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, but is also spoken in Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Mauritius, Fiji and South Africa. At the beginning of the 21st century, more than 66 million people used the Tamil to communicate, according to the encyclopedia. The oldest writings in Tamil date back to 500 BC and are found in inscriptions and vases from that century. It is a language that has undergone mutations over time in its writing and originated from the Brahmi script, an ancestral system of all Indian scripts, except Kharoṣṭhī, which is inspired by Aramaic. Britannica further states that the advent of printing, created in the 16th century, introduced a significant change in the size and composition of its letters. Regarding speech, the phonology of words led to the emergence of diglossia in their language. This means that Tamil has a colloquial form and a more formal method of speaking and writing, depending on the context." Stop lying because you are acting like a liar, sob, sod.

What does the “oldest language” mean? Spoken language is produced in the moment then disappears. For tens of thousands of years there was no other language and even now the overwhelming amount of language produced isn’t recorded. So in that sense, it is impossible to judge the age of a language. All existing language developed from an older language variety dating back to the dawn of language. Spoken language evolves. Though some languages have more conservative written forms than others, and these forms affect spoken language, no language is unchanged by time and, except for invented languages such as Esperanto, no language is not a product of an earlier form. In terms of written language, Tamil is conservative. The current literary standard is about four centuries old. There are older forms of the written language dating back a further nineteen centuries. That is an impressive literary history but neither unique nor the oldest on record. Greek, excluding Linear B is four centuries older and has a continuous literary history until today. This is also true of Aramaic, although now the language is near extinction. It is also true of all the North Indian languages (sorry to say), since they all decent from Pakrits of a similar age and all have continuous literary histories. Now in terms of age of languages used today, the oldest continuously used languages that have not changed in form is Arabic. That is not because Arabic is the oldest recorded or that the spoken form is unchanged but because an Arab of the eighth century could, with minor difficulties, read today’s newspaper. The same is true of a Persian of the tenth century or an Italian, Icelander or Tibetan of the 13th Century. It is not true of a Tamil of any of those periods. Now Tamils are right to be proud of their language and defend it against attempts to promote other languages over it, but inventing an exaggerated past for it serves only to bring that heritage into disrepute.

You showed wrong inscription for 1500 bce sanskrit inscription. The 1500 bce attestation of sanskrit words is from mittani inscription which were written in cuneiform and found in today's turkey and syria . So make accurate videos or else you will lose the credibility of video .
Polyglot you unfortunately don’t understand the facts behind the claim. Inscriptions have taken multiple forms and scripts similar to how Latin changed form over the years. Tamils older form is forgotten by many. What you talking inscriptions wise is Tamil in its third association form. There is first and second associations that are presumably hidden in history. There are definite vocabulary links all the way to Sumerian culture and its languages. Your claim is purely and superficially academic. Modern academia make’s declaration like yours without recourse which is a flaw in itself
I AM PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS REQUESTING U TO NOT CALL IT TAMIL IT IS TUMIL, I MEAN THE WAY WE WRITE IT IS DIFFERENT AND THE WAY WE PRONOUNCE IT IS DIFFERENT.
Tamil is not the oldest, but it certainly is the oldest surviving language of the modern century. While Sanskrit, Latin, Egyptian, Sumerian are pretty ancient, they aren’t used much/ if not at all by most of the world. Sanskrit is only spoken by a handful thousand in India, and all of those speakers are not native speakers. But Tamil has a significant number of native speakers(80 M) and it has survived for over 5000 years till today. In conclusion, we could call Tamil the oldest surviving language, but not the “oldest” language
1st learn difference between the picture language and written language 😂😂... Egypt oldest inscription in picture format only but our inscription is in letter format. You just think that how we are evaluated at that time..
If you ask me Tamil is the oldest language, but Sanskrit is much more phonetic language than tamil. Tamil is more confusing language in writting script than Sanskrit. Tamil doesn't have difference in ka, kha,ga, gha the same for ta, tha, da, dha and so pa, fa/pha, ba, bha etc. There is only 1 letter for the same and in Sanskrit there are different letters to learn but are specific and have dentol sounds specific. For Example: Ganapati in Tamil it will be written as Kanapati same goes for Dosa it is writtern as Thosai but to understand everyone they write it as Dosai. Same for Devika they will write as Thevika, Vinod as Vinoth etc. Even in Tamil there is no two letters joined. Example: प्रचार they will write as pirchar पिरचार. Same for बुद्धीशाली they will write as पुतीसाली as tamil does have ब so they need make it as प.
Hello I learnt both tamil and Hindi..tamil has many alphabets and many letters so that they can write all the words but in Hindi alphabets are less for ex you guys are pronouncing tamil that's not the pronounciation தமிழ் the last letter ழ் has no forms in hindi instead you all pronouncing ல்..before arguing learn both languages compare and then come for conclusion.otherwise ask the northindians in Tamilnadu learning tamil about it..your hindi is stupid for one letter you pronounce it in four ways for that four letters you cannot learn tamil alphabets alone it is that much..

Let's take the word 'pooja'. Many Indo-Lankan languages use this word. It's a way of worshipping gods. But how ?. The original Tamil pronunciation is 'poosai'. Meaning 'doing with flower'. In Tamil 'poo' means flower & 'sai' is equivalent to 'sei' means do. Several thousand years later Sanskrit language borrowed this Tamil word 'poosai' and changed it as 'pooja'. Although in sanskrit they don't call flowers as 'poo' they use the word pooja where 'ja' doesn't have a meaning. Without knowing the proper meaning people are just using the word 'pooja' for worshipping. This is the reality. I can give many examples to prove Tamil is the oldest classical language. You can understand this with the word etymology. Ex. The word 'Temple' is originally from the Tamil word 'Thenpulam' meaning the south pole (southern region). 'Peninsula' is originally a Tamil word. 'Penin' = woman's ('pen' means woman in Tamil) 'sula' = womb ('sool' means womb in Tamil) So you get the meaning : A land mass extends towards the sea like a bump in a woman's womb / stomach. Here also the same. No one knows the real meaning, just using the word Peninsula. There are many more proofs.
Peninsula comes from Latin Paene (Almost) and Insula (Island) and was coined in 59 or something BCE. Man what does it even have to do it a women womb? Do you even know the meaning of Peninsula? you could have even searched once before just writing this garbage.
@@SmoothEmployeeSouth pole - meaning; Humanity started from the south - Kumari Kandam / Lemuria the submerged land mass ! That's why Englishmen had named Adam's bridge, Adam's Peak to places in Sri Lanka. Because Sri Lanka is connected to the submerged land mass Kumari Kandam / Lemuria. Just Google and get some ideas about this. Don't ask for archeological evidence. Only super power nations have submarines. If they wish they can do research.
@@SmoothEmployeeWhat I intended to explain was that the peninsula looks like a pregnant woman's stomach. Example : Sinai Peninsula, check it from a world map! Here woman = pen in Tamil. So the word Peninsula came from the ideology of a pregnant woman's stomach.
