  • FROM PROTO-TAMIL-MALAYALAM to WEST COAST DIALECTS* by A
    FROM PROTO-TAMIL-MALAYALAM TO WEST COAST DIALECTS* by A. GOVINDANKUTTY Leiden University Because the oldest Malayalam inscriptions and literary works 1 are not earlier than about the ninth century A.D. and accordingly were con- temporaneous with Middle Tamil, scholars have almost automatically come under the delusion that the development of a separate language had to be dated to that period. 2 While concentrating entirely upon this his- torical process of differentiation, they have consistently overlooked the * I am indebted to Professor F. B. J. Kuiper, who made a number of very valuable comments and suggestions to improve the quality and contents of this article. I am grateful to Professor Kamil Zvelebil for a number of useful comments. 1 Since all ancient literary works written on the West Coast for a long time merely belonged to conventional genres of Tamil literature, their authors continued to write in the traditional literary language of the East Coast dialect (cf. Cilappatikdram). Not until the fourteenth century approximately, are clear traces of 'Malayalisms' found in certain literary texts, such as the Rdmacaritam. Therefore, it is for a long time almost exclusively the evidence of the West Coast inscriptions that gives us some information about the linguistic changes that have gradually taken place. R. Caldwell, A Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian or South-Indian Family of Languages (London, 1856), p. 12; 2nd ed. (1875), p. 23; 3rd ed. (1913, 1956), p. 18. He pointed out that Malayalam is an ancient offshoot of Tamil and regarded it rather as a dialect than as a distinct Dravidian language.
