Dear Thiru Solomon,

Tamil started with suttu oligal / vowels.That is a,e,u . ‘a,e,i,o,u’ are vowels as you know by English. These will have a, aa, e, ee, u, uu, o, oo,i apart from ae, aae, av, ah sounds which were present only in world ancient languages. In this ‘av’ and ‘ah’ sounds were predominantly in ancient languages.

All suttu oligal have meaning only in tamil not in any other language of world.

These suttu oligal formed extension in words.

Expanded words shrinked and tilted in its form formulating new dialects / new languages.

These shrinked words don’t have vowels at the beginning. But have consonants of later origin.

Tamil only can claim the root words since most of the Sanskrit words never start with vowels.

For example : Eravu – Raththiri

Eravu has ‘Iru’ root . This root formed the words ‘erumpu, irul, Irukku, Iruppu etc.

Tamil consonant starting words also have root in vowel starting words.

‘Sanku’ – sam+ku - ‘Sam’ is from ‘Am’ which formulated the word ‘ambalam’ where Am and sam has same meaning ‘club’.

You talked about common origin. If there is a common origin where is the common origin ? No symptoms of common origin prevalent in India.

You must understand Tamil history is related to world history. Hence talking tamil history shall not mean talking against any language / race.
