Duplicate of What language did people at the time of Ramayana and Mahabharata use to communicate? Sanskrit? | |
| Mar 23, 2016 at 16:48 | comment | added | Surya | Also, Agastya Muni is said to have learnt Tamil from Lord Shiva during the time he married Parvati, because Agastya Muni was sent to the South. And Shiva-Parvati wedding was a few thousand years before Ramayana (according to scriptures). Which means Tamil was present before the Ramayana period according to the scriptures... | |
| Mar 23, 2016 at 16:29 | comment | added | Surya | For one thing, Srivaishnava tradition places the first three Azhvars in the Dvaparayugam, during Krsna's period. And they used Tamil, which means Tamil was present for ages before the period of Mahabharata. So is this what you meant by Tamil during the Mahabharata period? | |

| Mar 22, 2016 at 4:27 | comment | added | Ponmari Subramanian | I am not arguing for Tamil or Sanskrit. My intention is to get whether we lost or ignore any precious literatures about the above epics only because of non- Sanskrit | |

| Mar 21, 2016 at 14:53 | comment | added | The Destroyer♦ | @PonmariSubramanian Also, some of your sentences are debatable. Tamil was widely spread over Hindustan. You could simply frame it as Was Tamil used during Ramayana and Mahabharatha times"? | |
| Mar 21, 2016 at 14:45 | comment | added | The Destroyer♦ | @PonmariSubramanian Status of Tamil as oldest language is off-topic for this site. So, stop discussing it here. | |
| Mar 21, 2016 at 14:40 | comment | added | Ponmari Subramanian | The different you looking for is unable to answer by anyone. According to scholars, Tamil is always glorified as "even before stone and soil starts to appear in earth, there were poems in Tamil language" | |
| Mar 21, 2016 at 14:36 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | Did you mean Tamil is the oldest language still in use or 'the' oldest language? (there's a difference) | |
| Mar 21, 2016 at 14:36 | comment | added | Ponmari Subramanian | None knows the exact birth of Tamil and Sanskrit languages. If you guaranteed that these old epics periods were in Sanskrit,why you guys not ready to consider Tamil which is as old,may be older than Sanskrit. | |

| Mar 21, 2016 at 13:42 | comment | added | The Destroyer♦ | Well, Tamil being world's oldest language is other discussion. But people at those times spoke Prakriti. Official Language for Kingdoms was Sanskrit. | |
