Line 74:
The language known as Derivada can also be reffered to as Tamil. The Tamil language spoken in the ancient times is not different to the tamil language known today. The old texts can still be read and understood by educated tamilian. The book known as "Tholkaapiam", one of the oldest tamil text still in existance was writen in the ca 300BC - 3000BC (The exact date can not be determined due to lack of evidence) and is accepted as the oldest grammar book in any language. This book can be read and understood by any who has studied tamil. It does not require any special training.

I found it's too insulting to a self-respecting Telugite that his language has to be compared to some European language. Being part of Dravidian family of languages, it has its own identity. I suppose such POV identity links are not required for Wikipedia.
