उत्तर
- In 1816, F. W. Ellis who founded the College of Fort St. George, formulated the theory that the south Indian languages belonged to a separate family which was unrelated to the Indo-Aryan family of languages.
- 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.
