TAMIL LANGUAGE IN GENERAL.  \n1.The Tamil(西LBu from Sans.Dravida)is the vernacular speechof about ten millions of people,inhabiting the great plain of theCarnatie.The limits within which it prevails are thus defined inthe Nannul(a standard native grammar):“The eastern boundaryis the easteru sea(the Bay of Bengal),the southern boundary isCape Comorin,the western boundary is the west sea,the northernboundary is Vengadam(or Tripety,a town about 80 miles N.W.ofMadras,nearly on the same parallel with Pulicat).”Here the westernboundary from Comorin [5Lf]to Trivandrum[西@5市西4ru]iscorrectly stated,but fron Trivandrum northward the Tamil countryis confined to the eastern side of the Ghats.The Tamil region thusincludes a portion of south Travancore,the entire Zillahs of Tinevelly,Madura(including the dominions of the Tondiman Raja),Trichino-poly,Coimbatoor,a great part of Salem and of North Arcot,withthe whole of South Arcot and Chingleput.North Ceylon also is aTamil Colony.Tamil communities are to be found in most of theBritish cantonments in the Dekkan.  \n2.The principal languages eognate to Tamil are the Telugu,theKanarese,and the Malayalam.  \nThe Telugu is bounded north by the Uriya(beginning with thedistrict of Ganjam),on the north-west by Marathí,on the south-westby Kanarese,and on the south by Tamil.It differs from the Tamilmore widely than do the other cognate dialects.  \n\n| INTRODUCTION.§I.   |\n| --- |\n| The Kanarese is the language of the table-land of Mysore,of part  \u003Cbr>of the Nizam's territory,and of a part of Kanara.  \u003Cbr>The Malayalam is spoken on the western side of the Malaya  \u003Cbr>mountains from Mangalore to Trivandrum.It seems to be but a  \u003Cbr>corruptTamil.  \u003Cbr>Minor cognate dialects are (1.)the Tuluva,which is a dialect  \u003Cbr>spoken in the neighbourhood of Mangalore,and is nearly allied to  \u003Cbr>the Kanarese.  \u003Cbr>(2.)The various dialects spoken by the rude inhabitants of the  \u003Cbr>Nilagiris,of which the Tuda is more allied to Tamil,and the K8ta  \u003Cbr>[GOEATA]to the Kanarese.The Burgher[BADAGA]is simply old  \u003Cbr>Kanarese,much corrupted.  \u003Cbr>(3.)The Gond and Ku,in Gondwana and the adjoining hills.The  \u003Cbr>rude languages of some other mountain tribes in Central and North-  \u003Cbr>western India possess niore or less resemblance to Tamil in idiom  \u003Cbr>and structure.  \u003Cbr>To this family of languages the epithet“Dravidian”has been  \u003Cbr>applied.This is hardly correct,as that term must include Marathi.  \u003Cbr>They have also been styled“Tamilian,”from Tamil,their chief  \u003Cbr>member.  \u003Cbr>3.The origin and afinities of the South Indian group of languages  \u003Cbr>have been much discussed.  \u003Cbr>On the one hand,the more deeply they are studied the more close  \u003Cbr>will their affinity to Sanskrit be seen to be,and the more evident will  \u003Cbr>it appear that they possess a primitive and very near relationship to  \u003Cbr>the languages of the Indo-European group.  \u003Cbr>Yet they are certainly not mere Prakrits,or corruptions of Sanskrit.  \u003Cbr>Some have supposed that their place is among the members of the  \u003Cbr>last-mentioned family,and that they are probably“disjecta membra”  \u003Cbr>of a language cöeval with Sanskrit,and having the same origin  \u003Cbr>with it.  \u003Cbr>They certainly contain many traces of a close connection with the  \u003Cbr>Greek,the Gothic,the Persian,and other languages of the same  \u003Cbr>family,in points even where Sanskrit presents no parallel.  \u003Cbr>On the other hand,Professor Rask,Mr.Norris,and more recently  \u003Cbr>Dr.Caldwell,have shown that the original
