About Tamil
Tamil is a Dravidian language with one of the longest continuous literary traditions of any living language, with literature dating back over two thousand years to the Sangam period. It is one of the oldest classical languages in the world, with inscriptions found from the 3rd century BCE. Approximately 75 million people speak Tamil today.
Tamil is written in its own script, derived from the ancient Brahmi script. It is the official language of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the country of Sri Lanka, and Singapore. An interesting fact is that Tamil has maintained remarkable continuity over the millennia, and speakers of modern Tamil can still comprehend classical Tamil texts from two thousand years ago with some study, a rarity among world languages.
