Abstract

Language is the symbol of a country. If that language is the mother tongue of a person, then he or she can convey the ideas to others and can make them understand it easily. Language creates a better human. From ancient period itself language has been intertwined with human beings. Speaking and understanding a particular language is the only difference between five- sense animal and a six- sense human. Therefore, language is the cause of human civilization and culture. India is a multi- lingual country and there is no common language. People in each state of India speaks different languages. Thus, India can be seen as a multilingual country. Historians say that most of the people spoke Indo- European languages. People speaks Dravidian language. Thus, Languages are classified as North Dravidian, Middle Dravidian and South Dravidian. There are people who speak South Dravidian languages such as Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Kudagu and Tulu.
