According to linguistic studies, the Tamil language originated from the "Proto-Dravidian" language, which was likely spoken around the third millennium BCE in the southern Indian region, and is considered to have evolved from the ancient people inhabiting the area, with its roots tracing back to the Sangam period; essentially, Tamil is believed to have developed from a common ancestor language shared with other Dravidian languages like Telugu and Kannada. 

Key points about Tamil origins:

Proto-Dravidian:

Tamil is categorized as a Dravidian language, meaning it descended from a Proto-Dravidian language spoken in the ancient Indian subcontinent. 

Ancient Tamil literature:

The earliest known Tamil inscriptions date back to the 3rd century BCE, and the "Sangam literature" is considered a key source for understanding early Tamil language and culture. 

Geographical origin:

The region around the lower Godavari river basin is often cited as the possible center where Proto-Dravidian was spoken. 

Mythological perspective:

In Hindu mythology, Tamil is personified as "Tamil Thai" (Mother Tamil) and is associated with Lord Shiva and the deity Murugan.
