About this document

Tamil is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses whether Tamil could be considered a form of Prakrit. Some key points: - Some believe Tamil evolved from a form of Prakrit, though this view is now neglected in mainstream academia. - If Prakrit means descended from Sanskrit, it would be impossible for Tamil to be considered Prakrit due to a lack of continuity with other Indian languages. - Most argue there is a 0% probability of Tamil being a Prakrit based on linguistic mapping of languages in the subcontinent before Sanskrit.
