Tamil vs Sanskrit - Which is Older?  

Now I understand why tamils are so proud of their language.

Tamil is the mother of all languages ❤

The oldest inscription of Sanskrit found in Hathibada(Rajasthan) and Junagadh (Gujarat) Which were created in 2nd-1st century BCE and 150 AD But the oldest inscription of Tamil found in Mangualm, Madurai(TN) and Pulimankombai, Theni(TN) The Tamil inscription is 700 years older than Sanskrit Which were created in 600 BCE Tell me now, which is the oldest language Our language(Tamil) is 700 years older than (Sanskrit) 2000 years back, why Sanskrit didn't produce not even a single woman writer? But 2000 years back, not just one or two, Tamil had produced more than 40 women writers ஆல போரன் தமிழன் உலகம் எல்லாமே

I am a Keralite with Malalyalam as Mother tongue But I also know Tamil which very easy for us to learn because of their similarities for learning any language there should interest to learn

As a North Indian i agree dravidian culture is the oldest culture recorded and tamil is the oldest language... I am learning tamil.. It is hard bro

Tamil 🔥is older

Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam these three languages were created by mixing Sanskrit with Tamil. But, majority of these language speakers won' t accept it. If you remove all the Sanskrit words from these languages you will find they Tamil languages.

By historical point of view and archeological findings TAMIL is the mother of ALL Languages.

Adhi Mozhi means first language...mother of all languages, Tamil....

செம்மொழி எங்கள் தமிழ் மொழி❤❤❤

True Bro Tamil is much much ancient 🙏🏻. I love my country, just amazing 🇮🇳🙏🏻

I m from eastern states odisha.. I love my native language but i love tamil because Some word similarity in Tamil and Oriya language i can speak little bit of hindi. Units our strength💪 so don't try to divide our country😢😢

I am from Bihar, my native language is maithili. We are very far from tamilnadu but I don't why we call rice as a choor and bhat?

Tamil is the older Love and support from Sri Lanka ❤❤

Thank you very much for that quick history of India and Language - I will be watching and listening to this video several more times until I know it by heart !

I am proud to be a Tamilian Tamil is the ancient of all languages

I am from telangana, telugu is my mother tongue. But i know tamil is definitely oldest language in the india, and also probably one of the oldest languages in the world if not the oldest language.

Tamil is the oldest language and culture on the basis of recent studies, which was ignored or hidden for the interest of some.

Thanks for this wonderful explanation

India should work together in developing all the major languages of this land. And Hindi should be treated as just one of the languages of this land.

I am a North Indian but I have lot of respect for Tamil language and culture, since I studied in Chennai so I got a chance to understand South India deeply. Hindi and Urdu are two sister languages the difference being only script. Otherwise both are same. All North Indian languages are very similar. Hindu, Punjabi are heavy coctail of Sanskrit + Parsian + Arabic If you remove Persian and Arabic from Hindi then the vocabulary would be very less!!!

I am malayali and what you said is correct, it is orginated from Tamil👍🏻 Well explained and watched you're several videos and please don't stop making videos.. Make more full support New Subscriber✌🏻❤️

Thankyou for the every brothers and sisters from every states who expressed their support towards tamil here❤

Humanity comes first

Tamil is the old language ❤

சிவனைப் போற்றிப் புகழ கூடிய பாடல்களாக இருக்கட்டும், பாடல் பெற்ற திருத்தலங்களாக இருக்கட்டும், அனைத்தும் தமிழிலும், தமிழ் நாட்டிலும் தான் காணக்கூடியதாக இருக்கின்றது.

Very interesting information.. As a South Indian Salute Kulachekaraperumal.. Which he linked and brought among the S Indiands more about Vasudeva kudumbakam..Thank you

Karnataka - came from Kal Nadai ( Kal - Black ; Nadai - style) because they were speaking different style of Tamil in Mysore - where black soil exist. then Kal Nadu, then Karu Nadu then Karunaduagam - Karu Nadu agam - then finally Karnataka. Telugu - From Thaen ( Honey in Tamil ) but same script as Kannada - which was migrated from Tulu script - Surul (rounded in Tamil ) Literature. Got it.Malayalam - you already explained - good one. Once upon a time - There was almost 8 types of Tamil was spoken like Kal Nadai, Kongu nadai, Tulu ( Tullu - means jumping in Tamil), unfortunately mixing with Northern language especially with Sanskrit , they came to decide to name it separately. Sanskrit is speaking by only 160 people in a village in Karnataka, out of that 80 People are Tamilians. Only Politics. Vadakku valarudhu , Therkku Thaieyudhu - said by Arignar Anna - Former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu

During the Indus Valley civilization,there was only Tamil language.

உயிர் தமிழுக்கு❤️❤️❤️

Great contribution and your hard efforts are appreciated🙏😊❤

As a Bharathiyar living in Africa and I am not bound to Indian unity but you sarcasm is noted and supported and my description of who I am is the answer you seek.

செம்மொழியான தமிழ் மொழி is the oldest language with earlier civilization of rich in culture to man and nature 😍🙏

Long live our classical and most beautiful Tamil language

We tamils are not Dravidians We are tamils Our tamil language came from proto tamil.

I don't care which came first but having one of the oldest language in my country is a thing to be proud of in its own.

Tamil is older rich language compared to Sanskrit, no doubt in that. But it stayed pure and original because people who stopped intruders from outside were North Indians only. They also suffered more. Lot and lot of architecture and literature had been burnt. Forgetting the history, it now becomes our duty to respect all our languages, culture and stay UNITED.

South Indian languages Kannada Telugu and Malayalam are byproducts of Tamil, in between it got mixed with Sanskrit. If you check hale Kannada, it will sound like 90% Tamil. Telugu shares same script of Kannada but it’s different from Kannada, it’s a mix of Prakrit and Sanskrit with base of Tamil.

Historical evidence clearly points to Tamil as the oldest living language. Let’s cherish that by learning and promoting it…

Super cool and nice work Keep it up

The graffiti signs from Indus valley scripts are similar to early Tamil letters(we all know Tamil letters evolved in different forms through centuries). Iravadham mahadevan sir worked on this you can check. Also I would highly recommend to read the book ' civilization of a journey- Indus to Vaigai' by - R. Balakrishnan

தமிகத்திலிருந்து தமிழன் ❤

Your analysis makes sense bro.

Of course Tamil❤ no doubt in that 😊 When Sanskrit Aryans reached india through Khyber pass to south (Tamilnadu) copied everything from Tamil Aaseevagars siddhars and killed them 💔 This is history Aaseevagars are older than jains and Buddhism ❤ Aaseevagars are ayyanars belong to Tamil Nadu❤

Appreciating your extensive research and clear delivery of content. Keep up the good work!!

Excellent presentation ji.Highly educative

I have the same respect for Tamil as for anskrit though I belong to UP and staying in Rajasthan

Wow, each part of the video was packed with fascinating new information that left me spellbound! The research was top-notch, kudos to you! I'm absolutely hooked! Where did you uncover this wealth of knowledge?

First Class Statement, Fentastic Explanation Congratulations 👏🎉

I don't the answer of your last question, but you really taught well , it clears my confusion , although as you said panini was the first to use sanskrit as a full language, but if it existed even before that , that will be the question , thank you sir ❤

World knows who is tamil❤❤❤

We indians should acknowledge the fact that both sanskrit and Tamil are our ancient languages both are the languages of God 💜

The respect and Pride of that language will be given there will be a diversity ❤we are all India let's own the world together 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

❤Tamil comes first before sanskrit ❤❤🤘

I just want to say that we must not fight in the name of language and not impose a language on other❤, and hey I have just started watching you and already loving your content 🔥 love from Rajasthan

If you need to find the oldest language in the world is not by finding the archeological writings and evidences, great linguist scholars used a term called etymology (a study finding the root words). Surprisingly it’s Tamil which holds all the root words among all languages in the world. That’s why Tamil is the oldest language in the world.

Vanakam 🦚🌳🪷🌾 Thank you for talking true history 🙏🏿

தமிழ்❣️

Tamil is the original language, it originated on itself and it's natural process, tamil don't have any other language 's influence in it, it has the world's oldest literature and lots of literature than any other language, Sanskrit have a mother prakrit, and prakrit have a mother which originates from middle East, prakrit or Sanskrit are the languages of the outsider or invaders...

Bang on ! Only yesterday I regretted having inadvertently watched a toxic video decrying Dravidians , this comes as an antidote. I loved the interjections of oun antava ...❤

I LOVE the sound of Tamil!

Tamil is the oldest living language with archeological evidence of 3200 years 👍👍👍👍 All the languages in the world are created by humans using the brain given by god. If a language is spoken by elite group and not by common man then it is not peoples language, Sanskrit was created for a specific purpose to discuss the secrets within elite groups and to chat the mantras which common was not allowed to learn. Later they mixed it with local languages and created new languages to divide and rule the people, this is the reason India has so many languages. Now the same elite group is trying to unite us by imposing one language Hindi.😂😂😂😂

The white skinned invaders who are now so called Aryans were nomads and were rearing cattles for their livelihood. They entered into the Indian continent, which was the land of native Tamili speaking people. On reaching the Indian subcontinent and looking at the wealth and natural resources here they planned to settle down. Taking advantage of their white skin they proclaimed themselves as superiors because the native people of Indian subcontinent at that time were dark due to extreme heat. Then taking advantage of their white skin these nomads wanted to rule over this land which was wealthy with rich culture,rich agriculture, rich science and architect and the people were happily living and were well civilized than them. The invaders with great motive had at first created caste system and divided the native people and further divided them into people of different languages by slowly introducing their dialects into Tamil and finaly they suceeded in dividing the native people further into many different language speakers. Today's Telugu, kannada, malayalam and many other languages in India are nothing but the old Tamil adulterated with so called holly basha Sanskrit. This is the history that every Indian now would agree. Jai hind Long Live Tamil

I didn't ask about that my question is Ramayana was written in which Language ? Do u have amy answer or not

Tamil is 10k yrs+ old. Lemuria continent where tamil originated

As an Indian I am proud of both Sanskrit as well as Tamil language ❤ Jai Hind

Oldest living Tamil language had it's original land with it's own native Tamil speakers such in Tamil Nadu (Keeladi Civilization) Kerala and Sri Lanka ... But not for Sanskrit, no one knows where it's origin land of native speakers.. unless it mainly used for religious activities. and among the oldest language...

Very good message. Tq

Terrific work done by you tremendous human being. God bless you from a tamizan (tamilian)

very interesting video as usual... and a lot to think about. I agree with you on one think, 'unity in diversity' is the need of the hour

bruh make a video on Porunai/Thamirabarani Civilization, Keezhadi/Vaigai Civilization and Proto Dravidian connection to the Indus Valley Civilization

Very well articulated the facts❤

Gr8 re-search bro, end portions of your video bruhsome.!! Keep up the good work..onde bharat.. Thamizh came first in it's geographical sphere and so is the Sanskrit evolved in it's pantheon.. Widely spoken also matters due to commonly spoken language may be Hindi by large with a huge geographical regions from North. Love every language and hold respect to every regional dialects, typically saying behave like an indian while you are in india.. be regional specfic in that particular region while you migrate and visit for a short term. Sab bhaasha alag hotein hain palke ehsaas toh ek hee hoga.. RESPECT & REGARD SARVA SHRESTT BHAASHA APNE ANDAR KI JO SADGUNN SAMPANN SULALITH SUSHEEL MAATHRUBHAASHA..

Great information! 🙏🏻

You have done perfect research for this video, it should reach more people.

Super very clear explanation

1 sec, The word Sindh is a Persian derivative of the Sanskrit term Sindhu, meaning "river". The word Shindh came from the word Shindu and not the other way around as you just spoke.

I liked this video and I appreciated even more the overall theme of the comments from various people which emphasize that the age of a language should not be the main focus of the discussion. It's important to acknowledge that determining the age of a language is challenging due to the lack of available records and artifacts that have been lost to history. Even historians usually state that a language is "one of the oldest" rather than conclusively determining a precise age, as new discoveries can change our understanding of the timeline. It's essential to keep an open mind because what we consider true today can change with a new discovery of artifacts in the future. Additionally, the preservation of records and artifacts is a crucial factor in determining the age of a language. The north of India has been subject to invasions and settlements from neighboring areas for many millennia, leading to the loss of records and artifacts. In contrast, the south has been relatively more stable, which may have contributed to better preservation of records and artifacts. It's worth noting that an older version of Sanskrit existed before the grammarian Panini, and it was likely spoken by the educated class rather than the common people. This highlights the importance of considering the historical and social context in which a language develops. We need to acknowledge the limitations of our knowledge due to the lack of available records and artifacts. Ultimately, the age of a language is not as important as appreciating the literature and grammar of every language.

As a Tibetan, I know that our written language comes from Sanskrit, but interestingly, it is said that the pronunciation of Tibetan is close to Sumerian, .......

தமிழ் எழுத்துக்கள் உயிர் பெறும் அற்புதமான எங்கள் தமிழ் கற்க வேண்டும் இந்தியாவில்

What r your sources?

Thanks for better explaination from Lemuria Continent.

Tamil came world's First....If you don't know cross check the Historical moments .

It shouldn’t be tamil vs Sanskrit, think tamil and Sanskrit ,as Crown Jewels you own ❤

Language Tamil is the oldest in the world. And it has the grammar (Tholkaapiyam) - in writing and pronouncing - better than any language. To everybody, their country is the worshipping place, and their Mother Tongue is the God or Goddess. Respect everybody's Mother Tongue.❤❤❤

World's oldest languages is TAMIL - தமிழ்

If you learn Tamil Grammar Text Tolkaappiyam and Sanskrit Grammar Text Ashtadhyayee simultaneously, you will learn both quickly and you will have access to great hills of Wisdom and rivers of Knowledge. This is what I am doing currently. Whichever is older, let us learn both and enrich ourselves incomparably. Thanks for the supremely logical and clear presentation of historical facts...

I believe that Kannada and Telugu do not originate directly from Sanskrit, but rather all the so-called Dravidian languages share a common ancestor. All four Dravidian languages exhibit numerous similarities in their vocabulary. However, Telugu and Kannada have incorporated some words from Sanskrit or Hindi due to their exposure to non-Dravidian speaking regions. There are greater resemblances among Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam than between Kannada and Telugu with Sanskrit and Hindi. Consequently, all Dravidian languages share many common features, with Kannada and Tamil exhibiting closer similarities, and Kannada and Telugu sharing more pronounced resemblances.

Please discuss Kumari kandam, where human evolution started...which is below the Indian Ocean

Tamil and Sanskrit is mixed in all indian languages but this is not only ......Tamil is mixed in world languages ..like korian Africans and more😊

In 13 the century Tamil grammar book " Nannool" released in Mysore ( golden palace wall of janagapuram shanmathi munis gifted son of bhavanandhi)at cheeyaganga's rajya sabha by Bavananthi muni( a jain poet)

Tamil & Sanskirit are like two eyes for me.🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉

While each one is entitled to debate on the languages which is an unnecessary thing to do, it would be so nice if people started acknowledging the beauty of each language and it's literary works. Be it Tamizh or Samkritam, Kannada or Telugu, every language has its own beauty and rather than finding which is oldest, it would be a great place to live if everyone loves their individual mother tongue and at the same time be respectful to the other 😊😊

My mother tongue in Telugu but Tamil language very super and old in universal

I believe you man ..i visited tirupati there all around the temple karpagraha walls tamil language carved

It doesn't matter which language came first. In the end, we are all Indians and we should unite rather than get divided because of linguistic differences.

I am a polyglot who can speak English, Kannada, Tamil, telugu and hindi. For example kannada has 80%sanskrit and has a neutral gender. This is the language that has most numbers of sanskrit words. In sanskrit thath is used as neutral gender. Doesn't hindi have a lot of Arabic words. Moreover hindi has gender for objects just like middle eastern languages. Just walk on the streets of delhi and listen. Watch any hindi serial or movie. awaaz, kitaab, fursat, aasman, dhuniyaa, panni, yakeen, kuththa, billi, sharm, dukaan, zaroor, and so on. Today many Indians from south get confused with genders of an object while learning hindi. It would be better if we eliminated and eradicated hindi and revived sanskrit. Hindi is a gendered language. Islamic invaders created hindi to wipe sanskrit.

bro your video is very very nice

I appreciate your honesty video

Im from Tamil Nadu, my mothatongue is Tamil. Eventhough Tamil is oldest language. I like Telungu, Spanish language very very very much because theyre so sweet to talk, listen and read 😍 ❤ Love Telungu and Love Spanish ❤
