Tamil is one of the longest surviving classical languages in the world. Tamil literature has existed for over 2000 years. Tamil & Telugu were orginated from Dravidian. In that tamil is orgin for Malayalam and kannada. When compared to telugu tamil is mother place for many languages where it is less in Telugu. Tamil language doesnt have any borrow words from other languages like Sanskrit n Urdu but telugu does it. According to me Language can be considered as best by comapring the age of language not by quantity of people speaking the language.

Thamizh is the first Indian language which has been declared as first Classical language of India. Proud to be a Thamizan as well as veri pudicha INDIAN.... GOT IT???????????????

yes...PROUD TO BE A TAMILAN

Nothing about language fanaticsm, but reality is Tamil has the great literary traditions and still surviving oldest language of the world.(Tholkapiyam which is the oldest grammer book of Tamil shows how the language is properly structured and developed much earlier in 3 rd century BC.This proves the language should have evolved much before 3rd century,No other language has such antiquity) Thirukural covers all dimensions of Human life encompassing the teachings of bible, geeta,quran, though not being a religious book. Carnatic music had its origin from this language(many falsely interpret it with Karnataka as the sound seems to be similar when pronounced). Bharatanatyam( from tamil land) is the oldest dance form which gave birth to other dance forms of india. Many great scientists are Tamils(from Ramanujam --C.V.Raman--Abdul kalam till yesterday's noble prize winner Venkatraman Ramakrishnan) In sports also starting from F1 Narain karthikeyan to Chess Champion Vishwanathan Anand to Cricketing spin wizard Muttaiah Muralidaran A.r.Rahman , Ilayaraja, Cholan kings and the list of great Tamilians continues

Tamizh - ancient, classical, great, expressive, beautiful language. Language created a classical language awareness in India. First language to be addressed as a classical one in India. Most of the scripts and monuments found in India are Tamizh (more than 50%), no one can deny this... Known Indus valley civilization scripts are proven to be Tamizh language.

Tamil is the very First and Oldest Language in the World. It is proved by lot of Scientist and also accepted by most of the scientists. Before Aryans(Sanskrit) comes to India, Dravidian(Tamil) people living in Indai with high standard. Even Aryans dont have any specific language when they comes to India. They develop their language after comes to India only. There is lot of Tamil words in Sanskrit.

Sincerely, George L. Hart Professor of Tamil Chair in Tamil Studies

To qualify as a classical tradition, a language must fit several criteria: it should be ancient, it should be an independent tradition that arose mostly on its own not as an offshoot of another tradition, and it must have a large and extremely rich body of ancient literature. Unlike the other modern languages of India, Tamil meets each of these requirements. It is extremely old (as old as Latin and older than Arabic); it arose as an entirely independent tradition, with almost no influence from Sanskrit or other languages; and its ancient literature is indescribably vast and rich. It seems strange to me that I should have to write an essay such as this claiming that Tamil is a classical literature — it is akin to claiming that India is a great country or Hinduism is one of the world’s great religions. The status of Tamil as one of the great classical languages of the world is something that is patently obvious to anyone who knows the subject. To deny that Tamil is a classical language is to deny a vital and central part of the greatness and richness of Indian culture.

In trying to discern why Tamil has not been recognized as a classical language, I can see only a political reason: there is a fear that if Tamil is selected as a classical language, other Indian languages may claim similar status. This is an unnecessary worry. I am well aware of the richness of the modern Indian languages — I know that they are among the most fecund and productive languages on earth, each having begotten a modern (and often medieval) literature that can stand with any of the major literatures of the world. Yet none of them is a classical language. Like English and the other modern languages of Europe (with the exception of Greek), they rose on preexisting traditions rather late and developed in the second millennium. The fact that Greek is universally recognized as a classical language in Europe does not lead the French or the English to claim classical status for their languages.

Finally, Tamil is one of the primary independent sources of modern Indian culture and tradition. I have written extensively on the influence of a Southern tradition on the Sanskrit poetic tradition. But equally important, the great sacred works of Tamil Hinduism, beginning with the Sangam Anthologies, have undergirded the development of modern Hinduism. Their ideas were taken into the Bhagavata Purana and other texts (in Telugu and Kannada as well as Sanskrit), whence they spread all over India. Tamil has its own works that are considered to be as sacred as the Vedas and that are recited alongside Vedic mantras in the great Vaisnava temples of South India (such as Tirupati). And just as Sanskrit is the source of the modern Indo-Aryan languages, classical Tamil is the source language of modern Tamil and Malayalam. As Sanskrit is the most conservative and least changed of the Indo-Aryan languages, Tamil is the most conservative of the Dravidian languages, the touchstone that linguists must consult to understand the nature and development of Dravidian.

Third, the quality of classical Tamil literature is such that it is fit to stand beside the great literatures of Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Chinese, Persian and Arabic. The subtlety and profundity of its works, their varied scope (Tamil is the only premodern Indian literature to treat the subaltern extensively), and their universality qualify Tamil to stand as one of the great classical traditions and literatures of the world. Everyone knows the Tirukkural, one of the world’s greatest works on ethics; but this is merely one of a myriad of major and extremely varied works that comprise the Tamil classical tradition. There is not a facet of human existence that is not explored and illuminated by this great literature.

Second, Tamil constitutes the only literary tradition indigenous to India that is not derived from Sanskrit. Indeed, its literature arose before the influence of Sanskrit in the South became strong and so is qualitatively different from anything we have in Sanskrit or other Indian languages. It has its own poetic theory, its own grammatical tradition, its own esthetics, and, above all, a large body of literature that is quite unique. It shows a sort of Indian sensibility that is quite different from anything in Sanskrit or other Indian languages, and it contains its own extremely rich and vast intellectual tradition.

The reasons for this are many; let me consider them one by one. First, Tamil is of considerable antiquity. It predates the literatures of other modern Indian languages by more than a thousand years. Its oldest work, the Tolkappiyam,, contains parts that, judging from the earliest Tamil inscriptions, date back to about 200 BCE. The greatest works of ancient Tamil, the Sangam anthologies and the Pattuppattu, date to the first two centuries of the current era. They are the first great secular body of poetry written in India, predating Kalidasa’s works by two hundred years.

Statement on the Status of Tamil as a Classical Language April 11, 2000 I have been a Professor of Tamil at the University of California, Berkeley, since 1975 and am currently holder of the Tamil Chair at that institution. My degree, which I received in 1970, is in Sanskrit, from Harvard, and my first employment was as a Sanskrit professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 1969. Besides Tamil and Sanskrit, I know the classical languages of Latin and Greek and have read extensively in their literatures in the original. I am also well-acquainted with comparative linguistics and the literatures of modern Europe (I know Russian, German, and French and have read extensively in those languages) as well as the literatures of modern India, which, with the exception of Tamil and some Malayalam, I have read in translation. I have spent much time discussing Telugu literature and its tradition with V. Narayanarao, one of the greatest living Telugu scholars, and so I know that tradition especially well. As a long-standing member of a South Asian Studies department, I have also been exposed to the richness of both Hindi literature, and I have read in detail about Mahadevi Varma, Tulsi, and Kabir.

Devaneya Pavanar (ஞா. தேவநேயப் பாவாணர்; Ñānamuttaṉ Tēvanēya Pāvāṇar; also known as G. Devaneyan, Ñanamuttan Tevaneyan; lived 1902–1981), was a prominent Indian Tamil author who wrote over 35 books. Additionally, he was an influential Dravidologist and a staunch proponent of the "Pure Tamil movement" and initiated the Etymological Dictionary Project primarily to bring out the roots of Tamil words and their connections and ramifications. In his 1966 Primary Classical language of the World, he argues that the Tamil language is the "most natural" (iyal-moḻi) and also a proto-world language, being the oldest (tol-moḻi) language of the world, from which all other major languages of the world are derived. He believed that its literature, later called Sangam literature and usually considered to have been written from 200 BCE and 300 CE, spanned a huge period from 10,000 to 5,500 BCE.[1] These datings gain popularity by modern pseudo-historians such as in Graham Hancock's book Underworld: The Mysterious Origins of Civilization. Devaneya Pavanar composed many musical pieces (Isaik kalambakam) and many noteworthy poems, including the collection of Venpa. The title Senthamiḻ Selvar was conferred on him by the Tamil Nadu State Government in 1979, and he was also addressed as Moḻi Ñayiru (மொழி ஞாயிறு) "Sun of language

George L. Hart (born c. 1945) is a professor of Tamil language at the University of California, Berkeley. Hart received his Ph.D. in Sanskrit from Harvard University and taught at the University of Wisconsin–Madison before joining the faculty at Berkeley.[1] He has studied Latin and Greek as well as several modern European and Indian languages. Hart is best-known for his translations of several Tamil epics into English and for asserting that Tamil should be classified as a classical language, which is stated clearly in a letter addressed to Professor Maraimalai on April 11, 2000.[1] On September 18, 2004 the Indian Union Cabinet recognized Tamil as a classical language. In 2002, Hart, along with co-author Hank Heifetz, was the recipient of the AAS South Asia Council (SAC) Ramanujan Book Prize. The two produced a volume of translated Tamil poetry entitled Four Hundred Songs of War and Wisdom.

Tamizh did not come out of Samskrutam but rather out of Proto-Dravidian, which is older than Samskrutam.And Telugu did not come from Tamizh, Telugu came from proto-Dravidian, which also birthed Tamizh.

Every language in India came from SANSKRIT.

it doesnt matter how many people speak a language.its about one language's richness and highness.

TELUGU - MY MOTHER TONGUE

TELUGU WAS THE FIRST LANGUAGE WHICH GOT A SEPARATE DISTINCTION OF ITS OWN AND WAS SEPARATED FROM SANSKRIT.( the mother of all Inida Languages) Andhra (or Amdhra) was the classic name for Telugu language. If you read Telugu scripts written before 1600 AD, they contain more than 85% of Sanskrit words. That percentage is highest for any Indian language. Not to forget that Sanskrit was not the mother tongue of any tribe in India. The Rg Veda, which is now accepted to be 8000 years old, mentions Andhras as one of the ancient tribes in India.

Being a christain from Andhra Pradesh, i support telugu, b'coz my language Telugu is the best Language in India to speak, write and understand...... everything in our UNITED ANDHRA PRADESH is awesome.

No comparison with other indian languages, Telugu is par ahead of them. It is the sweetest language i ever came across.

telugu is oldest language in india telugu is best then tamil to speak and write

Telugu is the most sweetest language and second highest spoken language in India

Telugu is the most sweetest language in India

Telugu is the most spoken languages of south India and third in India. There is no comparison with any other languages in India about it's sweetness. "...Telugu can be referred as "Italian of the East" because Telugu is the only language other than Italian where every word ends in a vowel. This gives the language an enchanting lilting quality when spoken." - Niccolo de Conti, 16th century Italian traveler

most of the north indian heroines said telugu is the best ,easiest and oldest language to learn..............shriya,ileyana,charmi,tamanna,anushka,jenelia

telugu is oldest language in india telugu is best then tamil to speak and write

telugu is sweetest language in india

Kannada is best language in india, no other language is more easier to speak and understand.. Am proud of Kannadiga. No wonder Kannada literature has 7 Jnanapeetha awards.

Kannada is influenced to an appreciable extent by Sanskrit. Kannada words can even be found in Sanskrit, Prakrit, Tamil, Tulu, Marathi, Konkani and even in Greek, Portuguese and Persian.

Kannada is indeed one of the worlds greatest languages...though we need to protect it from the influx of outsiders into karnataka....proud to be a Kannadiga !!

The summary of this discussion is enunciated in the following points: 1. Kannada came into its independent existence from the proto-Dravidian language in the 6 B.C. timeframe. 2. In about 3-4 B.C. Kannada was already in use by the common people. 3. In 3 B.C. Kannada influenced the Indo-Aryan languages like Prakrit. 4. In the 2-1 B.C. timeframe, Kannada also influenced the Dravidian language Tamil. 5. There are socio-political reasons for the 500 year delay of the emergence of Kannada in shaasanas when compared to Tamil shaasanas. That does not mean Kannada at that time did not have its own language, script and literature.

Kannada has influenced Tamil literature (Sangam period).In the recent 2003 Harvard publication "Early Tamil Epigraphy" authored by Iravatam Mahadev has important substance in the current discussion. This publication provides a new direction and paradigms to the question of Kannada's antiquity. It extends the antiquity of Kannada to older times than presently known. It also presents a new thought that Tamil came under the Kannada influence in the years of B.C. timeframe.

Yeah i agree.

It's the language which is sweet, easy to learn and good for ear :-)

"Almost every Indian has a working knowledge of Hindi".. come to South India (AP excluding some regions, TN, interior Karnataka, Kerala) and try to speak in Hindi and you'll know..

Y THE HECK IS HINDI IN THE NEGATIVES???

Yes, why isn't Hindi at the top? The official language in India is Hindi. Almost every Indian has a working knowledge of Hindi! I was researching languages with a friend, and Hindi was the language everybody had to know! It's the official language. It's the 1st language of 30% in India, and in schools, both Hindi and English are usually taught!

no other language is as sweet as Hindi. Hindi is a National Language of India. Hindi should be at the top of the list that is First. Do vote for Hindi Language to get it on the TOP

oriya, the sweetest language

It is a genuine Indo-Aryan language rich with ancient literature

Oriya is the worst language in india as per my knowledge, because pronousation is very bad, and the language is copied from hindi and bengali

in my point of view,oriya is the best language in India because it contains most of the words of sanskrit.so this can be treated as a base language...
