f.s.gandhi
Vedas and Upanishads, though Upanishads are centuries younger than Vedas, preach the same meaning of Vedic Mysticism. Vedas are not taken from any dravidian languages, in fact the old literature in dravidian languages are based on the principles of Vedas, including the legends explained in the dravidian literature. Samskrith as I already mentioned was the refined form of Vedic language(language used in the Vedas). It later turned out into classical language best suited for poems and plays. The Vedas are basically taught mouth to mouth, so they never needed a script to write the Vedas. They were retained through Guru-Shishya Parampara until the advent of newer forms of literature in the dravidian culture. They were codified and written in around 1800BC to 1500BC.
Hi Shoyonika, appreciate your acceptance that vedas are written in vedic and not sanskrit. But you are saying that Sanskrit is a classical languagae, that is not true. To get a classical status a language has to qualify certain criteria, sanskrit does not qualify, that is the reason that even the Indian government has not declared sanskrit as a classical language. Infact Indian govt has a less stringent criteria for that.
You said "They were codified and written in around 1800BC to 1500BC" any proof for that ?
The earliest writing known in India is of Tamil and it is scientifically dated at before 1000BC, the earliest known sanskrit writing is around 200 AD (yeah it is AD and not BC)
a few questions..
some for the sanskritisists and some for tamils..
I wonder what the root of the word "sanskrit" is?
If it is the "devabhasha" who are / were the devas?
what are the different types of poetry available in sanskrit?
If sanskrit is an invented language, who invented it and why?
If sanskrit / tamil is derived from the other, why does it have a different script / grammar?
Be it Tamil / Sanskrit, any foreigner would immediately accept and appreciate the supremacy of indian languages and culture. But, why is it that indians believe foreigners (who can never learn properly any of the complex indian languages) like Max Mueller and have such hatred and filth over the other indians?
If these so called acredited universities are trustworthy, why do they change their theories quite often ( aryan invasion , aryan migration, no aryan invasion, no migration ...)
The devas are missing but the basha is around!Quote:

Devapriya.
Thanks for accepting thatQuote:

Some might claim, but the average Tamil know that Tamil is a natural language with it its own evolutionary historyQuote:

You got it wrong here buddy, from your posts it looks like you are confused between telegu and tamil, you might speak telugu at home and see those words in tamil too and conclude as above. The truth is sanskrit is a liturgical language that borrowed heavily from Tamil and prakrits both in vocabulary and grammer, though the creators of the language did give it a shape around 200 AD, the language never took off, but for in the imaginary world of a very few twice born.Quote:

ye ye never took off, thats true, and mind you, never will it take off from the world, because neither did Samskrith beg for a classical language tag from the government, nor did the very few twice born ever need to start a movement to plead people to accept the existence of Samskrith, unlike what happened with the other language :lol:Quote:
