Nakkeeran Balasubramanyam
"...And this will confirm the conclusion that the Dravidian (Tamil)
tongue prevailed in North India before the Aryans came and occupied
it. The same conclusion is forced upon us by an examination of the
vernaculars of North India........ that even the vernacular; Bengali
which bristles with Sanskrit and derivative words, is indebted to
Dravidian languages for pretty large portion of the vocabulary and
structural peculiarities. What is strange in even in Hindi Speech
Dravidian (Tamil) words can be traced. No reasonable doubt can
therefore be entertained as to the Dravidian speech (Mainly Tamil)
once being spoken in North India.
