Tamil & Sanskrit from same source

[Guest guest]

Tamil and Sanskrit originated from the same source?

I have read Aurobindo's one particular statement wherein he has

stated that both Tamil and Sanskrit descended from a common

source,,,,he has told that certain missing links in sanskrit he has

found them in Tamil.

I sometimes think that it could be true,,,in srilanka great fight was

for 'sri' or 'thiru'..thinking that thiru is a pure tamil word,,,

but 'thiru' has its root in the vedic sanskrit word 'thri'

or 'thra' ,, the word thrisulam denotes a sacred thing ,not

thirisulam,,

even the word tamil is from dravid which is a sanskrit word.

The earliest Tamil grammar work as per legends is 'agathiam',,,which

got its name from the word 'agasthyah'which is again sanskrit.

The other known and prevalent oldest Tamil grammar book is 'thol

kappiyam',,,again 'kappiyam' is a degraded form of 'kavya' again a

sanskrit word.

The Tamil works speak of three sangams,,,,again a sanskrit word

meaning'meeting'.

The Sangam works hailed throughout the world are 'purananooru'

and 'agananooru',,,,again sanskrit words puram and aham.

Could it be that Tamil is a degenerated form of Sanskrit or if

Aurobindo's statement that both had some common ancestor be true??

(I here recollect one age old tamil legend which states that both

sanskrit and tamil came out from the two sides of Shiva's udukkai-

damaru in sanskrit.)
