you are: On the earth tamilov

The trip on the south of India is to a certain extent travel to other world, the world dravidov, the people, in the racial relation of distinct from North Indians. If the last in the majority belong to evropeoidnoj to race and speak on various indoevropejskih languages dravidy, numbering nowadays 140-150 million persons, concern other race - avstraloidnoj and speak approximately on 80 dravidijskih languages and dialects.

Some scientists assume, that ancestors dravidijskih the people have developed in an ethnic generality during rather remote epoch on northwest suburb of the South Asian subcontinent and areas of East Iran adjoining to it and Southern Afghanistan. They spoke then on relatives protodravidijskih the dialects which have become by base for all modern dravidijskih of languages. According to Soviet scientist G.M.Bongarda-Levina, their disintegration on languages existing now should be carried to the beginning of 4th millenium B.C. This process most likely has been connected with moving of a part of these people for the unknown reasons in Central, and then and to Southern India. The part of tribes remained on a place of former dwelling. To these explain, why the small people bragui, numbering 400 thousand persons and speaking on dravidijskom language, lives in territory of Pakistan and small groups in Iran and Afghanistan. From Southern India where are now dravidijskie the people, these areas will defend on thousand kilometres.
