Explanation

Tamil is considered the oldest surviving Dravidian language, with a literary tradition spanning over 2,000 years. The Sangam literature (c. 300 BCE - 300 CE) represents one of the earliest bodies of work in any Indian language. Kannada, Malayalam, and Telugu evolved later but all belong to the same Dravidian language family.
