Abstract
Belonging to the Dravidian language family, Tamil and Malayalam are closely related. Malayalam emerged as a separate language from Tamil in the 9th century, which started to diverge from the combined Adi Tamil-Malayalam language in the 4th and 5th centuries. There are two different opinions in the research field that Malayalam originated from the Tamil of the hill country and that it developed from the Palandravida language as a synonym of Tamil. Caldwell says that Malayalam is a branch of Tamil and is distinguished from Tamil due to Purudapeda Nirasam, Samasukrit Bagulyam etc. Thus, the purpose of this article is to compare and examine the differences between Malayalam and Tamil in many ways. This article compares the differences between the Tamil grammar books Tolkappiyam and Nannul with the Malayalam grammar book Malayalam Language Grammar.
