Review

"The state of the art in historical Dravidian studies. Krishnamurti's careful scholarship, detailed analysis, and even-handedness in dealing with different views make this a landmark volume that will serve as a touchstone for future generations of Dravidologists." Anthropological Linguistics

"This volume deserves to be on the bookshelf of every Dravidianist, and will serve as a distinguished source book for material on historical and comparative Dravidian linguistics for some time to come" - Sanford B. Steever, new Canaan, CT

Book Description

The Dravidian languages are spoken by nearly 200 million people in South Asia and in diaspora communities around the world; they include Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Telugu, as well as over 20 non-literary languages. In this book, Bhadriraju Krishnamurti, one of the most eminent Dravidianists of our time, provides a linguistic overview of the Dravidian language family. He describes its history and writing system, discusses its structure and typology, and considers its lexicon. Distant and more recent contacts between Dravidian and other language groups are also discussed.
