	Brahui people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Brahui is spoken in the following areas: Merv area of Turkmenistan, Sindh, Zahedan and Zabol in Iranian Balochistan, southern parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan Balochistan and with the bulk in the Jhalawan region.
		The Brahui language is mainly spoken in the Kalat areas of Balochistan, Pakistan, although there is a considerable amount of speakers in Southern Afghanistan and Iranian Balochistan.

	Kolangal: Tamil:
		Language is many things - a system of communication, a medium of thought, a vehicle for literary expression, a social institution, a matter for political controversy and a catalyst for nation building.
		But no language is as mysterious in its origins, as rich in history, as ancient in form and as copious in literature as Tamil is. Each of us, then, has a stake in understanding something about the nature and use of this language.
		Brahui is the only member of the Dravidian family, which is spoken outside the Indian subcontinent and linguists have not been able to discover the link between the Brahui and the other speakers of Dravidian languages who live thousands of miles away in southern India.

		The material for the literary compositions in this language were taken from the culture of the teachers, who obviously were Dravidians, and who found in this process a convenient and secretive way of preserving their culture with a key only known to themselves.
		But by this time the Dravidian origin of the language and culture was forgotten, not merely due to the lapse of time, but also apparently as an outcome of cultural elimination.
		But I feel that to understand the etymology of every word spoken in every language living or dear a globalized attempt should be made by UNESO or the Universities of the nations in partnership to harness their common knowledge to track down the etymology of every word spoken.

		But neither Rajaram nor Witzel discusses language much, except that Rajaram ridicules the claim that the Indus Civilisation had a Dravidian-type language saying that it is strange that the people would have lost their script.

	On reading Vedic Texts by R. Nagaswamy
		Their main contention is there exists now a language Brahui in Baluchistan that is supposed to be a Dravidian language, considered as the surviving relic from ancient Harappans.
		It is imperative to know how much of Sanskrit or Prakrit words and structure that entered from India for nearly 700 years from 200 BCE to 600 CE, have survived in Afghanistan and Central Asia and how much of it is recognized in the Indo-European linguistics from the chronological point of view.
		That Fairservis is quickly dismissed by Mahadevan as lacking in the knowledge of Dravidian languages only confirms my contention that there is no basis for the Dravidian hypothesis.
