Answer 2

Tamil is at once a classical language like Sanskrit and a modern language like other Indian languages.Most scholars agree that the Tolkappiyam is the earliest extant Tamil grammar and literary work, as some of its archaic structures and considerations of style place it earlier than what has come to be called Sangam literature.
So it would be reasonable to accept its date as somewhere round the third century BC. But some scholars place it as late as fourth or fifth century AD. This work may be called the fountainhead of all literary conventions in Tamil literature

Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukkural, accepted as a work of great importance, has drawn from the Dharmasastra, the Arthasastra and the Kamasutra and is written in a masterful style. The Naladiyar is an anthology in the venba metre. The Palamoli by Munrurai Araiyar adopts the novel method of exemplifying morals by proverbs.
The epics Silappadikaram by Ilango Adigal and Manimekalai by Sattanar belong to the early centuries of the Christian era. There were three more epics written later in the series: Jivakachintamani (by a Jain author), Valayapati and Kundalakesi, out of which the last two are lost.
