Abstract
In terms of language history, the Tamil literature in power today takes us to the second (a) third century AD, but the Dravidian words given by the Greek authors take us beyond the pre-Christian era. The oldest monuments of the Dravidian language are the vocabularies given by the Greek authors. The Dravidian languages have been excellent for two thousand years without any deterioration. All the words mentioned in this article must have been used in ancient times. Language is divided. After the arrival of the Aryans at the time when the Dravidian people started to live there, various languages were mixed in the Aryan period which is their common possession today. This article makes it clear that all the words are there.
