@@LetMeGetAUhhh This is how language comparison is done by looking at similar words, phonology etc 200 years ago people used to say the same thing about the IE family and now it is the most well established language family who knows they might be related considering that Dravidian languages have a really different phonology and phonotactics different from any other language family expect the aboriginal languages that is. Im not claiming that the Dravidian languages are related to them im saying that thats how macro language families are made.

@@LetMeGetAUhhh And of course Tamil isnt the oldest language (Proto Dravidian) even they dont say that, what they are saying is that their language is the oldest language which is still spoken in a large number. Im not a Tamil, neither do i support these statements but this is what *_they_* say

@@Ida-xe8pg Not really. Linguists devise Proto Indo European by looking at the regular sound changes.

@@xwtek3505 The Phonological inventory of Dravidian languages and Aboriginal languages are basically identical only difference is that the Dravidian languages are heavily influenced by Sanskrit languages and the Palatal stops became CH and J and some of the Aboriginal languages developed a palatal lateral oh and also the [w] changed to a /v/ in Dravidian (these are considering the Proto-Dravidian family)
