**List: Tamil Ministry
Bible ( பைபிள் )
Tamil...
"Tamil is spoken by most of the 33.5 million
inhabitants of
Madras state (Tamilnadu), India, and by
20 per cent of the 10.5
million Ceylonese. A seat of
Hindu culture for more than
two
millennia, Madras is rich in South Indian art and architecture,
and Tamil possesses a distinguished heritage of classical literature.
The Tamils speak a Dravidian language (the very term ‘Dravid-
ian’ is derived from the Sanskrit word for Tamil). It is
related to
Telugu,
Malayalam,
Kannada,
Tulu,
Toda,
Gondi,
Khondi
(Kui), and
Brahui. The derivation of Tamil
script is still disputed,
but it is thought to be either a direct development of a southern
form of Brahui writing, which employs features borrowed from
Grantha script, or an adaptation of Grantha. (See
Sanskrit)."--1000 Tongues, 1972
