I’m not advocating for the supremacy of Sanskrit, merely pointing out established linguistic facts. Tamil is old, yes, and it’s age is impressive given that early Tamil is still legible to modern Tamil speakers. That does not mean that Tamil is 3500 years old. For example, we have no attested inscriptions of Tamil that predate 5th century BC. We do have Vedic inscriptions from 1400BC: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryan_superstrate_in_Mitanni https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryan_superstrate_in_Mi...
