	Ancient Literature of the Tamils - Father Xavier S. Thaninayagam
		While it is given to the student of comparative literature to trace the origins of Sanskrit literature in the hymns of the Vedas, and the early attempts of the Grecian bards in the Homeric poems, of the origins of Tamil literature, he can find little trace or historical account.
		The earliest book extant is Tolkaappiyam, and that book argues the existence of numberless grammarians, a large literature, and years of anterior literary culture.
		The Tolkaappiyam and these poems which collectively are often referred to as Cankam Literature, are the texts used for the present study.

		Tolkaappiyam which was published in about the 6th century BC by Tolkaappiyar, is said to be the world's oldest surviving grammar for any language.
		Tolkaappiyam starts by defining the alphabet for optimal writing, grammatises the use of words and syntaxes and moves into higher modes of language analysis.
		Tolkaappiyam is possibly the only book on grammar that describes a grammar for life.

	Tolkaappiyam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Tolkaappiyam is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
		The term arose from nineteenth century Western scholars assumptions that Dravidian speakers were a distinct group within India, separate from the speakers of the Indo-Aryan languages in the north of the country.
		For over 1,300 years and 49 generations, the three ancient Tamil kingdoms ruled by three kings and twelve velars, had an agreement of understanding or a treaty of cooperation and abided by the same.

	Tamil Literature
		Tolkaappiyam, a commentary on grammar, phonetics, rhetoric and poetics is dated from this period.
		Tamil legends hold that these were composed in three successive poetic assemblies (Sangam) that were held in ancient times on a now vanished continent far to the south of India.
		His works are stimulating in their progressive themes like freedom and feminism.

	A brief History and Features of the Tamil Language (Prof. M. Varadarajan)
		Among the ancient grammatical works available, the Tolkappiyam was the earliest and it was written around the third century B.C. There are over two hundred and fifty references in Tolkaappiyam which, provide substantial evidence of the existence of many classical and grammatical works in Tamil prior to Tolkaappiyam itself.
		The former refers to the classical Tamil used exclusively by literati in their works and the latter refers to the colloquial Tamil, spoken by the people.
		This view has no solid base, for one can see a copious description of Tamil scripts in Tolkaappiyam, which belongs to third century B.C. It is obvious therefore, that Tamil language had a distinct script of its own even at that early period.

		For a long time I wanted to translate into English the whole of Tolkaappiyam that has played a fundamental role in my understanding of the beginnings and further developments of Dravidian philosophy linguistics and religion.
		It is simply amazing that a body of scholars more than two thousand years ago should have accomplished something like this and which the modern world is only now beginning to see.
		Tolkaappiyam (hence forth Tol.) appears to have had its beginnings in the school system developed for young children as the final sutra of Marabiyal on utti would so.

		I am really excited and enjoy to know that all of you also really involved with "Tamil Music" - the oldest music system of the world.
		Regarding the oldest instrument in tamilisai:- Kuzhal, Yaazh, Parai are the three types of oldset instruments that have been mostly quoted in our ancient tamil books including Tolkaappiyam, Thirukkural and so on.
		However the far most credit goes to Kuzhal as it was naturally identified first instrument by tamils, as in jungles the holes made by bees on bamboo trees produced listenable music notes.

		Thus it doesn't have a separate place of origin in the oral cavity on its own, it shares the place of origin of the succeeding plosive.
		This is the reason why Tolkaappiyam calls it a 'Saarbezhuthu' (a dependent letter/sound).
		Unlike most other Indian languages, Tamil does not have aspirated consonants.

		Moreover, unlike other Indian languages, Tamil has been following well-laid principles in the past as to how the borrowed words should be treated and represented.
		These principles, written in the earliest Tamil grammar, Tolkaappiyam, at least 1800 years ago, still are followed, not only in the written domains, but also in the rural speech.
		Until such day when the accumulated changes in speech habits force them to change their script radically, Tamil users will continue to depend on the transcription of borrowed words only with the letters available in their native script.
