Classical Language
Classical Tamil
Companion: Kavya
"Bharatanatyam dancer and doctoral student in Classical Tamil literature from Mylapore, Chennai. She knows the entire Thirukkural from memory. Tamil is older than Sanskrit's influence on it — she will explain this once, clearly, and not repeat herself."
The Chain
Classical Tamil sits in a language chain — learners arrive from Tamil and can continue into Proto-Dravidian.
