The oldest language

Linguists debate whether all languages are descended from a common ancestor. This can’t be completely true, since many sign languages have been invented out of whole cloth in modern time (Nicaraguan sign is a famous example), as was, to a meaningful extent, Hawaiian Pidgin.

However, students of history know from the ancient Greek historian Herodotus that Phrygian is the first language. According to his writings, an Egyptian king by the name of Psammetichus ordered that two children “of the ordinary sort” be raised in an isolated cabin without exposure to language. At the age of two or so, the children began to speak Phrygian, which was taken as proof that Phrygian, not Egyptian, is the world’s earliest language.

This study is a great example of why experiments need to be replicated before they are taken too seriously.

  1. Dear miss m,
    Most of the north indians who are black are lower caste people that means they are dravidians.Example :up cm mayawati,lok sabha speaker meira kumar are black and they are dalits.IF you take the percentage ratio of fair and dark coloured people in north india it will be 70:30 but it will be in reverse in south india.lower caste people are dravidans.May be they would have settled in north india during aryan invasion.I think you are kicking the Goal on the same side.

    • you dont understand what i try to say. Colour is not a matter at all. Soon after the invasion of aryans in india, the words like higher and lower, fair and black what kind of terms…we hear everything. Aryans are generally “nothing” when compared to “dravidians” as far as hardwork and discipline are concerned. We MADE everthing and they are ENJOYING. Thats it!!!!…I talk about india and Sri lanka only…dravidians had been and are still exploited. Todays violence are only because of casteism and modernisation of culture. Want of money and life full of comfort are needed and discipline has almost gone….Though we south indians are still now following our Past…because of poverty and vulgarity and bad culture have made the people go on wrong track. Some one is needed to make them follow good culture….We are in a poisonous world….The atmosphere and mainly culture surround only make them like that….We south indians even now follow the good culture of putting KOLAMS on the entrance in the early morning. Nobody actually know the inner meaning and the divinity in kolam….its not art…it teaches you how to tackle difficult situations and how to be calm and tolerant. If you see the “art of kolam” then you would come to know about it….We have not lost any of our rich culture but because of aryanisation exploitation has started. What is in a colour? if some one talk against it then they are NOTHING. They are not God fearing…..Skin after death would spread only bad smell….colour does not have any connection with it…Who would follow or appreicate a dead body and live with it….NO ONE WOULD EVER…The beauty is a ever moving cloud….it wont remain in a place….but the lingering memories would be stagnant forever…. .As long as beauty exist people talk well and write well….and a girl or a woman should follow right path only whatever situation she may be in…Virginity is something SPECIAL….. I only write about the reality and the changes thereafter. U dont get my point.

        • you should understand we are not the creators of all customs in reality. People have been following what the brahmins had advised them, they made them believe what they told, so each and every humanbeing should change. It will take a long time. Our indian system and customs are not good. In reality, most of all the humans are cruel hearted, they want to satisfy themselves and they seek such customs which brahmins introduced in a cunning manner.

    • on what basis these four divisions brahmins, shatriyas, vaisyas and shudras came into existance..i dont have clue…even in nepal, manipur and nagaland, people with japanese or chinese feature have these 4 divisions too…they are not definitely from central asia….i am sure, it was started by the brahmins initially, later on non-brahmins also began to use such customs and divisions for selfish purposes…as far as colour is concerned, even the lower caste people of north, east and west are more fairer than brahmins….so finanacially weaker section and helpless and supportless of the society was made to be belonged to the backward community….i am also confused why this divisions are followed in other religions too..since mainly in hinduism only these 4 divisions were introduced….what for? …why dont the government of india abolish these names??…in future…i think surely everything will change….After all, we are here to expose such customs to the whole world to prove the atrocities of the sinners… so it would be “BLESSING IN DISGUISE”. Those who are suffering today shall be showered surely with all kinds of blessings from the invisible supernatural power.

    • because of internet only i have come to know about a lot of information though i studied a little bit about aryan invasion in school. But, after exploring some ancient methods of worshipping of nature purely dravidians, i am SURE now the aryan invasion is not a myth. The people you mention above were living in the same place of india their homeland. Colour has been the reason so far to suppress the people. I do want to comment about aryans. they are heartless.

  2. Dear tamizh makkale (people),

    Arya, the malayali is feeling sorry as per todays dinathanthi newspaper report. He said, “I am sorry for making tamizh people feel bad about what i have said i am grateful and thankful to the tamizh industry for what i am today”. ….He mentioned also the films i wrote earlier and he mentioned about “Boss enkira Baaskaran” his recent tamizh a film huge hit…

    Arya should not forget the fact that he is not getting money in thousands but in LAKHS sometimes CRORES for acting in tamizh film. When poor people are struggling for 2000/- per month in tamizh nadu he has gone too as far as matters of money concerned. Whoever from which ever part of india, the actors who came to tamizh land earned lakhs of rupees. I have doubt are they talking in support of exploitation of tamizhians in sri lanka or wherever in india may be?

    Why do they come to act in tamizh films?
    Is it because of their love for the language?
    Is it because for becoming famous?
    is it because of well paid money they get for acting?
    Are they really selfish?
    Why do they forget their past soon after they get out of this fim world?
    Why dont they accept tamizh and tamizhians and give respect to their emotions?
    Do they think that all the tamizhians are emotional idiots?
    Are they having topics of “racism” still?
    When they act, who are the technicians, are they not all tamizhians?
    Why “TAMIZHIANS” are not given their due credit and why they are neglected in whole india?
    When we have our ancient past full of glory why are we not allowed to show our love for our mother tongue?
    Why our talent is not accepted and why people of india are not frank about the capacity and hardwork of tamizhians?
    Are they all jealous?
    Are they all narrow minded?

    Need an answer.

  3. If the theory of Aryans and Dravidians are false then why the northindians and Brahmins are fairer than Dravidians.Look at the skin colour of tamil brahmins they are living in tamilnadu for 2000 years which has a hot climate but still they are more fair compared to other people.can any body explain this?Dont try to give the reason like they are eating wheat,curd rice and ghee.scientifically colour cannot be changed by eating milk items and wheat.genetically north indians and brahmins are having this complexion in their skin.so it proves that they are outsiders.and also look at the nose of north indians.Nose shape of north indians and south indians are different.so finally we can say from skin colour,nose shape that Brahmins and North indians came from central or south central Asia.

    • Dear periyar mainthane,

      hahha…A NOSE IS A NOSE IS A “TOPIC” FOREVER. A thing of beauty for some…I think INNER BEAUTY is important than OUTER BEAUTY which is artificial most of the time. This thing “beauty” brings always danger with it. “Marlin Monroe” is one example….she was leading a life full of sadness….Being famous brings with it restless days…Simplicity is the best…ok…now, if we south indians with a peculiar shape of nose then it proves that we have not lost our blood since ancient period. If the shape of the nose is fluffy and the skin colour is fair then also we can say that there was a mixture of blood. So….the blood has been facing lots of changes all these passing years….hmmm…What about the skin colour of bengalis, UPite, biharis and also you can find darker or brown coloured people in all the states…Few examples, RAJNIKANT is black coloured and kajol(marati and bengali) and priyanka chopra (punjabi), bipasha basu,(bengali) jyotika (muslim and punjabi), simran (punjabi) are brown coloured. After make up they get fair coloured or the technology make them look fairer on screen.

      I think among the dravidian group there were different featured people with different colours. If the race is a black one,,,it is difficult to change the colour…but if there is a mixture then you can by having fruit juices and coconut water, curd and milk shake with honey and saffron powder are useful to improve the texture and climatic conditions is another one to give you fairer tone also.

      So, by birth if a person is black then he belongs to the black race and i think the word “harappan” is “karuppan” and they were known to have good knowledge about drainage systems and constructions. The excavations in sind region are giving proofs.They were people with highly improved technology in the past and they knew the art of storing grains and farming was very good in those days. We south indians are harappans and we have changed a lot…i mean the blood has changed…but some are still the SAME….During the rule of Akbar the Great, the moghul emperor so many people converted to ISLAM and because of Akbar marrying hindu women also.. the blood had been changed…..deep study about north would reveal so many secrets…hmmm…. Why do they have sharp nose and fair skin?

      Even in PUNJAB, a state with cool climate, you can find black skinned people also..So, WHAT HAPPEND IN THE SIND REGION?…..WHO CAME AND FROM “WHERE”?….Make a list of invaders into this region…..

      Thank you for your creative mind….very good observer!…

  4. The language of the north indians changed because of the aryan invasion and later on by muslim dynasty…urdu mixture… Otherwise, the language of the whole india should be tamizh. It was once upon time…not now. The whole india was a DRAVIDAN COUNTRY.

    The only example i would like to indicate now…that the people of BIHAR are knowing the benefits of the tree VILVAM and they make a sherbath (juice) extracted from the vilvam fruits. Its known to give benefits for the whole body. I dont know in other parts of india this vilvam tree and its leaves, barks, stem, roots and fruits are given importance or not.

    We have a distance relation though it seems but close relation with the people of UP, BENGAL, BIHAR, MADHYAPRADESH, HARYANA in northern part of india. Studies would reveal our ancestoral relationship with each other. This VILVAM TREE and the LEAVES are worshipped in SIVAN temple shows clearly our habit of using them in the PAST. The fruit of this tree helps good digestion and the dried powder of roots of vilvam tree if mixed with cow milk increase the life span. Today we live only for 70 or 80 years…sometimes more than 80 years…hihihihi but have to struggle…….hihihihi

    “alum velum pallukku urud”i…..Tamil proverb

    How many times should i say that banyan tree and wood apple tree were worshipped ONCE UPON A TIME………hmmmmm….enough!!!! I

  5. I gotta think now why the brahmin women are marrying non-brahmins? Is it because they do not want to tolerate the cruelty. Do they hate their own community? What is the mentality of brahmin women? Dont they accept the hindu rituals?

  6. Dear arren,

    If tamizh and sanskrit had been treated with equality and the kings were supporting these two languages then , WHY DID THEY NOT ALLOW THE SANSKRIT IN OUR ANCIENT TAMIZH LITERATURE? …WE DONT THEY HAVE STRONG TONES SUCH AS “BHA”, SHA”, “GHA”..etc. etc… The ancient tamizh literature is full of the purest tamizh letters and words only. Dont spread the rumours again. I think india has been so far the TARGET and still it is…..hmmmm.

    • even now they call themselves “tamil brahmins” not “sanskrit brahmins”..on their website also they give importance to ancient tamil literary works than sanskrit..they are kannada brahmins, malayali brahmins and telugu brahmins but they never use the word “sanskrit” brahmins..they never want to mingle with the local people. they want themselves separate from the people of different regions of india..we dont want them to be…if they want what can anyone do? this shows they have superiority complex and want to make all inferior to them.

  7. Tamizh Sage Agathiyar, Bogar and Thirumoolar Were TAMIZHIANS.

    Do not cheat the world spreading rumours. Agathiyar knew the art of making GOLD. Can any aryan make gold today? But a true Sitthar with divine power can make gold mixing herbs and chemical powders. (chooranams). The aryans had been chasing Agathiyar since ages for knowing the secrets from him. They COULD NOT.

    Tamizh sages have written the secrets in their “panai olai chuvadi” (palm leaves). Those who understood a little bit could not succeed… Tamizh sitthars were not greedy. But those aryans who wanted to make gold were full of greediness. Stop cheating the world. Tamizh sitthars were highly intellectual human beings who knew all kinds of arts. They were ancient SCIENTIST and DOCTORS and AUTHORS and they were MULTI TALENTED.

    c u all.

      and still u people talk about INDIA THE WAY THE BRITISH WANTED U TO…..THE NORTH HATING THE SOUTH THE SOUTH HATING THE NORTH….

      ..BUT IN OUR HISTORY OF 10,000YEARS….their was no fighting between north and south..BECAUSE THEIR IS NEVER WAS any difference…

      BY ATTACKING EACH OTHER U are destroying the legacy of both tamil and sanskrit…..by attacking each other u are SLAPPIN THE FACES OF ALL YOUR ACNESTORS….who never speraeted the two…

      By adopting the british version of indian history ..u have basically…erased the hard work, the effort of ALL INDIANS WHO FAUGHT FOR INDEPENDANCE AGAINST THE CHRISTIANS AND THE MUSLIMS……

      • Dear arren,

        We south indians especially tamizhians have been never fighting against english people and muslims in the past. We have been embracing both the religions in our state. Infact all religions. Because we respect all the religions and their culture and most of all their EMOTIONS. We tamizhians have been fighting against casteism, partiality and exploitation of the aryans in general. U know what???? The aryans can not spell the tamizh langauge correctly they always add “sh” sound to everything. You can very well find the keralaites (malayalis) using this sound than other south indians. Its because of the domination of aryans in their state.

        During british rule they were not imposing any casteism. This casteism has almost erased away so many families in south india and in the whole india. It create VIOLENCE….Because of british rule we are talking english and enjoying railway the comfort of travel today. What kind of charity or good things the aryans are doing. They are always talking against christians and muslims. They want these two people fight with each other and die. Are not they creating violence? What the aryans teach in the temple. No discipline. Brahmin widows are exploited in the temples inside. Poor brahmin girls and exploited and child molestation too. Brahmins are against brahmins……note this point.

        By telling again and again stories created and exaggerated to fool the people and make them the brainless forever. This is the job of aryans since ages. We know our HISTORY. Excavations proved that we had only NATURE WORSHIP.

        If i say that i had a dream yesterday and i saw a form like with four hands and four legs and want the sculptor to make it and popularise it and tell the people this is an “AVATAAR” Innocent people are ready to believe that too. We dunno about Shirdi Sai Baba, he was a muslim may be a hindu…he knew arabic and had knowledge of bhagwat geeta too. What is his relationship with Rama, the king….. Brahmins are saying that he was an avataar of Ram and call him now SAAIRAAM,….funny…..u kno what…..while saibaba was healing the people in shirdi village the pundits (the brahmans) had been trying to kill him and today the same pundits are chanting manthirams in his temple…….this is INDIA…..

        Aryans are known to have invaded our india as a NOMADICS. They used to travel from one place to another and they went to other countries spreading our tamizh by adding strong tones. They are sometimes called GERMANIC TRIBES. But we dont have the true facts…..even today. Their skin tone and their atrocities do not have any relation with our MOTHER INDIA. We always want PEACE….and we are by nature NATURE WORSHIPPERS…..it had been changed by the cunning aryans for minting money for survival…..Explanations OVER.

Simple life which we started with would only give us all happyiness and prosperity. If they all do good and believe destiny and sit and medidate at home why there is a need for temple? Why cant they spend their money for poor and the aged and the handicapped? They are also helpless people.

  10. “To act in a malayalam movie one should know acting”, this is what his exact statement on Asianet” as per media report. What was his mental status at that time no one knows….but i suppose he is known in tamizh nadu for “NAAN KADAVUL and MADRAS PATTINAM especially. These films made him the known figure not only tamizh nadu but also in other parts of this country. Who was the director, Tamizan Director BALA. To make such films you need the technicians and imagination and hard work. Without these talent one can not become an actor. I hope Arya also agree with what i have written. He is grateful to tamizh film world because of these above written films as well as other films which helped him show his talent. Whatever he meant let us not twist the statement and believe that he is still grateful and respectful towards tamiz film industry.

    If he disrespect tamizhans by that statement he would feel sorry in future. Though we have talented tamizh actors to show the same talent what he has shown in Naan Kadavul, the director chose him to act…it only shows that we are broad minded…Even we made the malayali MGR an actor to become the chief minister of tamizh nadu. I suppose he was the first one to become the chieft minister from the film world….next is RONALD REGAN of America. We remain the same we are narrow minded. First of all teach all the tamizhians not to construct temples for famous actors and actresses, they are not stopped to appreciate the talent of a person. But there is some limit. I want to know when are they going to build temple for TAMMANA because she is compared with a white candle….enough!!!

      We tamizhians have always welcomed all. We remain the same since ancient period. I wont support anyone who is talking ill of tamizhakam, tamizh and tamizhan.

      One who is enjoying eating the food with salt and water and sleeping on the hardwork of tamizan are not SUPERIOR. They dont deserve to talk about the culture of tamizhan. If someone is against us then “make a distance”. Thats it. I know a malayali family they are crazy about Late. K.B.SUNTHARAAMBAL songs a tamizh great singer of yesteryears. All the fingers are not the same. Music has no barrier, religion, caste and creed. Its beyond borders. I and my family used to listen pakistani songs also. No one is enemy for us. Only the brain sometimes act differently and “misunderstanding” also make them behave like that. All are humans with emotions only. Some want to RULE by putting their feet on us….this should not be allowed.

    • when the ancient india is divided into two parts sadly, “india and Pakistan” and it is used still a place of commotion and corruption, and still all are crossing the borders to take the lives of innocent people and want even more and more and remain greedy..then i think humans are generally very much crazy about land and property than good values in life…those who are eating the salt in india who do not belong to this place always blame the people who belong to this sand…no words now to explain the atrocities..all are equally suffering when u want to be alone and say that i am left alone then it would mean that u dont want to mingle with “humans” and dont want urself to be called a human…when u leave the thoughts of ur community and strong attachment to the doctrines of ur religion and treat urself a human then only the “egoism” would vanish away…its for all the community people….but its very difficult to change all..

      • we have made our hearts broken because of religions…we are responsible but mainly because worship of nature was forcibly abolished by ill-hearted people the brahmins.

    • I would never support humans with selfish purposes and exploitative nature whatever they are whoever they are…i dont give importance to skin colour or richness of people..but only to good conscience. Once i find out the “evil mind” of a person i go away..i give them chance, forgive also but observe continuously. I dont tell them what i think about them. I hate this world actually.

    • I wont support anyone with evil mind, whether he is a malayali, kannadiga, telugite or a tamizhian or anyone else. How can you think that i support malayalis. I know the difference between good and bad characters.

    • have you seen the skin colour of malayalis, they are fairer than tamizhians, so they would be against tamizhians, they also want to suppress and rule. Most of them are not innocent actually, but so many people of kerala were exploitated in the name of hinduism so i think they should not be included in the list. The wonderful fact here is how these brahman enter into each culture and exploit? They seemed to be highly talented when the matter of exploitation comes and they also use thravidans for their job.

      • Dear abdul thambi,

        I am very much surprised about the information that sanskrit and veda are the main sources of knowledge. I am indeed shocked reading the comments. It seems the aryans have been cunningly and forcibly taken almost all the treasure of knowledge from our ancestors. Our SIDDHA, MEDITATION, YOGA KALAI AND ABOVE ALL TAMIZH THE LANGUAGE AND THE LITERATURE would show the hidden talent to this world. We can not travel all over this world to tell this. I know bad people change their habit after some time. But it seems that these very very cunning aryans would never ever change.
        They are the same. We only think they have changed. Some of them if ever change then they wont be allowed to remain the good ones…..hmmm…..The truth lies in our literature. The Pandiyan kingdom is said to be the greatest one and beyond antiquity and it is now under the ocean so deep. All over india people think that they have got freedom from the british but actually they have not. Still they are slaves under these aryans rule…..

        • First of all “Sivan” is not a “Vedic God” as written records printed in this world for so many years….in fact the concept of “sivan” was entirely changed by the aryans and face given later on and thereafter they got fed up with “sivan” and they fought with each other and created “vishnu”..a brahmin god …so, i think in the beginning God has created humans and humans have been taking the role of Gods later on and continuously creating Gods…..very very funny!!!!! I cant stop laughing…… :)

      • “THIRAI KADAL ODIYUM THIRAVIYAM THEDU”…this tamizh proverb tells us “cross the ocean and grab all the opportunity”…here “Thirai” (kuthirai)may be “the horse”…the ancient tamizhian wanted the horse to run over the sea and cross and go to different countries and wants it to hold all the chances of obtaining treasure.

        Since, he knew that the horse is a marine animal he might have written indirectly giving command to it.

        When “ku” give us the meaning of water then he was seeing that kuthirai, the horse, kurangu, the monkey, kumaran, the cock and the “kozhi” the hen (kozhi…may be “ku”zhi in ancient time) all had their beginning from the water “ku”maari”.

      • modern culture only makes people greedy, so you can not find faults with tamizhians always, there are good people too in all the community, but the percentage differs, cunningness wins always!!!!

    • The first ever ancient medical form of this universe is “sittha maruthuvam”..(siddha)…”sittham” in tamizh means “mind” or “mental” power..or determination…..so if we explore this medical practice…no need at all…this siddha itself tells us the antiquity of tamizh culture…what we are arguing ….siddha medical practice is not having its old charm because of other medical practices….the root and base both remain in this “siddha”…do not forget this….i am not boasting about this medical practice…if you are not giving respect to this system it would mean that you are having wrong opinions about this culture just because of some… today’s selfish and bad tamizhians…every community has good and bad ones….

    URTHAVA THANDAVAM of Sivan (later on given face) indicate the four directions, East, West, North and South. The symbol of Nazi “swasthika” and symbol we in india in vishnu temples are the same, which was taken from this “dance form” of Sivan. How many avataarams we have? My goodness!!!!

    The symbol “OM” is peaceful and “swasthika” is also ours indirectly but used by the aryans. It shows they always take forcibly and keep them with them and claim as if they have found. Mindblowing!!!!!

          • Pavanar’s Vadamoli Varalaru argues that hundreds of Sanskrit words can be traced to a Tamil origin, and at the same time he insisted that pure Tamil equivalents existed for Sanskrit loan words. He claimed that Tamil is a “superior and more divine” language than Sanskrit. In his view the Tamil language originated in “Lemuria” (இலெமூரியா Ilemūriyā), the cradle of civilization and place of origin of language. He believed that evidence of Tamil’s antiquity was being suppressed by Sanskritists.

          • very very funny!!!!! thanks for the compliment….if you are before me i would like to explore u a lot…..u r indeed very much religious and devotional in nature….i mean it…..

          • since we have a vegetable called “avarakaai” in tamizh…i am sure this particular “ava” is purely tamizh…and we dont know the sinners who had destroyed the tamizh literature in the past..sometimes it makes us compare the words. Sinners are sinners.

          • since we have a vegetable called “avarakaai”(cluster beans) in tamizh…i am sure this particular “ava” is purely tamizh… “AVATHI” in tamizh is struggle. “avathooru” is rumour in tamizh…there are so many words starting with “ava” in tamizh…and we dont know the sinners who had destroyed the tamizh literature in the past..sometimes it makes us work hard to compare the words. Sinners are sinners.

      • I am also laughing here……laughter is the best medicine….I know all the fingers are not the same….but somehow your comments made us al irritated and also u are irritated…We are not against you all, only the bad ones are noted…..I remember my friday evening….4 brahmin sisters much elder to me used to call me to sing “suprapaatham”…i used to sing with them and they used to give me kondakadalai sundal….baked black beans…hahaha…I was studying in 3rd standard that time….hmmmmm….the names of those sisters are komathi, saavithri, meena and chithra….i think they are all married and settled in life…..

        • each Friday evening i used to sing “kanda Sasti Kavacham” with them i was very serious while singing…I thought that Lord murugan was really a human being…….hmmmm….i should thank this blog for making me realise that he was the bird cock….hahaha….how foolish i was!!!!!………

          “Shastiyai nokka Saravana bhavana”…music has magic qualities to give us peace of mind….The sisters used to give me fresh pomegranate fruits picked from the tree near the balcony…..thanks for making me go back to my past.

          • murukan the bird cock was actually informing us all about the sunrise and wanting us to do our duty in the morning. So, the name “kathirkaaman” and “kathirvelan” are given to him. “kathiravan” is sun tamizh. “kathir” is the rays of sun.

  16. Dear PM,

    In spite of the negative influences of the internet, there are many positive aspects that can be attributed to the internet. One of them is communication. We come to know a lot on internet. Thanks for your comments. ignorance is an evil well where innocence is almost struggling. we are in need of progress.
