Tamil and European Languages

[Chappani]

Hi,

I was going through an Article on Belarus/ BelaRussia - what this word means is that White Russia. Bela means White in that Language, which is close to Vella in Tamil and Bela in Kannada.
Took list of words for White in different languages as below and they sound very close to Dravidian.

Valge - Estonian
beliy - Russian

Silver(White metal) in Tamil is Velli and in Kannada is Beliy

Anyone who has analysed the similarity of Dravidian and East European languages can share further thoughts...

Thanks,

Srini
