Tamil Language: Tamil is an ancient Dravidian language that belongs to the Southern Dravidian subfamily. It is one of the five ancient languages of India, which is about 2,000 years old but preserves its originality. The earliest Tamil inscriptions date from 200 BC. The Tamil language has its own script descended from the southern Indian Pallava script and old Brahmi script. It uses syllabic alphabets written left to right in horizontal lines. There are several regional and caste dialects of Tamil that distinction between the literary and colloquial forms of the language. The main dialects include Sri Lanka, Northern, Western, Central, Eastern and Southern Tamil. Tamil is spoken differently in different regions but it follows the uniform style of writing. Like the other Dravidian languages, it is characterized by its use of retroflex consonants and by its agglutinative grammar, where suffixes are used to mark noun class, number, and case, verb tense and other grammatical categories. Tamil has gone through three different stages to reach its present form known as ancient (200 BC to 700), medieval (700 - 1500) and modern (1500 to the present) stage.
