Dear Rationalist, its 5000 years and more actually and this language has to take atlest 5 rebirths (like versions). Its vast to discuss and even the langaue itself was called as 'tamizi' thattime and you one can find that era writings from certain manscripts in mahabalipuram and renowned musiems.
While going through one of the tamil manuscript, i was able to get how other south Indian language evolved. Here it can be stopped.
