उत्तर

- Robert Caldwell (1814-1891) expanded this argument in a book titled. A comparative grammar of the Dravidian or South Indian family of languages in 1856.
- He established the close affinity between the Dravidian languages in contrast with Sanskrit and also established the antiquity of Tamil.
