Is tamil derived from Sanskrit

[bis_mala]

Well may be it should be the other way around i.e Sanskrit was derived from TAMIL.
What is this we know that kal thoondi manthonda kalathil mootha kudi tamil kudi.
any way english, latin and greek are the offshoot of tamil.For ex. Cattamaran in english and tamil are the same.Any way after all language is a medium of communication.

Research by Western philologists show that about 1/3 of Skrt's words are derived from Tamil/Dravidian languages, about 1/3 from Western (Greek, Latin , Avestan and others ) and the last 1/3 either unknown or from Dravidian, Munda and other languages. According to S K Chatterji, Dravidian has influenced Skrt's sound system and several other features.Skrt is a hybrid.

Yes, languages are just tools for communication!!
