Synopsis
In this book, Thomas R. Trautmann examines the conceptualization of the Dravidian language family of South India by F.W. Ellis at Madras in 1816 – the “Dravidian proof,” showing that the languages of South India are related to one another but are not derived from Sanskrit. Making use of the rich colonial record, Trautmann cocludes by showing how elements of the Indian analysis of language have been folded into historical linguistics and continue in the present as unseen but nevertheless living elements of modern history.
