  Thamizh and Sanskirit aren't at the same level. Sanskirit originated from Thamizh and NOT the other way around! Sanskirit formed from the Indo-European roots and the Prakrits and the 40% or so roots from Thamizh language. Prakrit was the aboriginal language that was spoken in now day so called North India long ago which had Thamizh origin. So intially Sanskirit has many Thamizh words with a manipulated way of alienation from Thamizh. Hence Thamizh is older than Sanskirit!

  try to be reasonable fellas. ofcourse we love our mother tongue. but that love should never blind fold us from seeing the truth. ok, which is the oldest text in tamizh? what is its period? PrAkrit was spoken by pallavAs also. the root of Sanskrit goes much deeper than you imagine. what is wrong in accepting facts about the age of a language. if you think the richness and divinity of our beloved Tamizh would be in damage on accepting a language to be older than Tamizh, again you are underestimating the values of our beloved Tamizh and insulting it by doing so. it is not the age that matters. it is the usage and population of speakers that really means. in this area Tamil is much more superior than any other existing languages.

  // PrAkrit was spoken by pallavAs also. the root of Sanskrit goes much deeper than you imagine.//
  We only have some works from the Late Sangam, the work from the two previous sangams are almost all wiped out by floods and other things. The 'available' oldest Thamizh text is 'Tholkaapiyam' from 2,500 years or so. Nevertheless the antiquity of Thamizh can be understood from its roots and it's linguistic richness. If you should know the amount of people speaking 'Hindi' has increased after the Independance of so called Indian Union. Should I explain why and how?! Does that make Hindi superior to Thamizh according to your quote...
  //it is not the age that matters. it is the usage and population of speakers that really means.//
  
  Of course not! Sanskirit is nothing compare to Thamizh and Hindi is nothing too! The English Empire has spreaded English..does that make English superior interm of linguistic level? Of course not. Like the Thirkkural,
  
  "oliththakAl ennAam uvati elipakai
  naagam uyirpak kedum!" - Thiruvalluvar
  
  The kural means even if you have a sea of rats, they will run away the very moment the snake start to breathe!
  
  Similarly you could have tons of people speaking Sanskirit or hindi or w/e but it doesn't make Sanskirit or hindi or any other languages superior than THAMIZH!!!

  Dear Mr. Manonmani.G
  
  TAMIL the Offshoot Language of MALAYALAM?
  
  Tamil is the one and the only Language FIRST SPOKEN by any Human ... not only in India ... but also the entire Globe ... while the Mankind in the rest of the World were only SAVAGES... as authentically established by several International Linguistic Scholars... especially Mr. SUNEETHI KUMAR CHATTERJI and MR. CALDWELL.
  
  Malayalam is the Language nicely carved by Sri Ezhuthachan, the Great Linguistic Scholar both in Tamil and Sanskrit. It is the MOST RECENT as well as the LATEST ADDITION to the List of Indian Languages, just 300 years back.
  
  The whole Kerala where Malayalam is the present Regional Language, was the so called CHERA- NAADU, where Tamil alone was the Language prevalent until 300 years back. One of the past Rulers of such Chera- Nadu was the King turned Kulasekara- Azhwar.
  
  From Tamil... Manipravalam emerged.
  
  From Manipravalam... Malayalam emerged.
  
  MALAYALAM ...a Beautiful BLEND...
  
  ... of COLLOQUAL TAMIL and RICH SANSKRIT.
