Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. First edition, 8vo, pp. xvi, 313; color portrait frontispiece; very good, sound copy in original green cloth-backed printed boards, later typed label on spine. "Devaneya Pavanar also known as G. Devaneyan, Nanamuttan Tevaneyan; lived 1902-1981) was a prominent Indian Tamil author who wrote over 35 books. Additiona…lly, he was a staunch proponent of the "Pure Tamil movement" and initiated the Etymological Dictionary Project primarily to bring out the roots of Tamil words and their connections and ramifications. In his 1966 Primary Classical language of the World, he argues that the Tamil language is the "most natural" (iyal-moli) and also a proto-world language, being the oldest (tol-moli) language of the world, from which all other major languages of the world are derived. He believed that its literature, later called Sangam literature and usually considered to have been written from 200 BCE and 300 CE, spanned a huge period from 10,000 to 5,500 BCE" (Amazon).
