It is only with some hesitation that I am entering this study for not only it goes against the established norms but also because the task is immensely demanding and where it is very possible to err.
I find the SumeroTamil closer to classical Tamil than Rigkrit and Sanskrit-prakrit languages hence the task of showing the connection rather difficult. It appears to me that Sanskrit became more and more distant from Archaic Tamil at least compared to Classical Tamil with innovations at many levels. So I present these studies more as preliminary attempts and which mark out a new direction of the study of Sanskrit and Tamil language connections where commonalities can be seen by reference to the Sumerian.
I hope to bring out specially the grammatical rules operative and show that contrary to general opinion, Sanskrit is a species of Dravidian language just like Telugu, Kannada, Tulu and so forth but certainly something that branched off very early, probably around 1500 BC or thereabouts.
