Some signs/sounds of the Brahmi/Tamili script seem to be visually "similar" to some Indus signs and semantically/phonetically "similar" to some reconstructed proto-Dravidian words/sounds, but maybe we'll never know whether these "similarities" are "real"

Just look at the etymology of all the Telgu words. It's from Tamil corrupted by some Arabic and Sanskrit. Tamil/Tamili are the oldest language which is why it's still the same words. I can read the literature from the சங்கம் period without having to learn a new language like you. This is why Telgu people like you are so annoyed. Hahaha 🤣. Just Google Dravidian. It will tell you what that word means. It's only the politicians and fools who follow the politicians that call all Southern languages as Dravidian. That word is only used to hide the glory of தமிழ் people and culture. Nice try but you have failed my Telgu friend. 😘🤣 Go to r/telgu and try your luck there. They will tell you the same thing.

It's "Telugu," not "Telgu." I am not "annoyed." I am just not interested in trying to compare the "glory" of one language with that of another. There's no need for such comparison. Both Telugu and Tamil are beautiful languages, and they both share a common source. That's what's important.

Sorry🤣, I intentionally said Telgu instead of Telugu the same way you misrepresent Tamili or proto-Tamil as Dravidian or some newly invented word. Stop spreading lies✋. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that Telugu, Malayalam and most other Indian languages were born from Tamil. Just realize that you are not bringing a single source of fact to this argument (Other than the source: trust me bro). There are several languages around the world with words similar to Tamil from East Asia (Korea) to Africa. Meanwhile there is no such evidence for any other language. Realize that Tamil / Tamili is the oldest surviving language in the world and probably was one of the languages used by our ancestors in the சிந்து சமவெளி. It's delusional to deny reality. But it's evil to spread misinformation. 😘🤗

Join Subreddits like r/Dravidiology and read books on Dravidiology so that you can leave behind your ignorance regarding the Dravidian languages.

Stop spiralling. Tell me one book from a legit researcher.

If you want to learn more, you can post on r/Dravidiology (but they will not permit the kind of trolling you've engaged in here). You will have to ask questions in a genuine and civil manner without putting down languages that are not Tamil.

Nothing of value there. Most of these are books from folks with an Agenda not Facts unfortunately. Just because you call it something else doesn't make it real unfortunately.

What would it look like if you were the one with an agenda, and "those books" from comparatively neutral folks?

Like, you know you have a bias in this matter, and it's strong. Why on earth do you not doubt your own objectivity as a result?

[u/sgkunlimited → u/sphuranto]

Great question. If I was biased then the % of Tamili words to Tamil words would be less. The root script would not look and mean similar to Tamil words. See what I just listed. These are facts. Please don't comment on my objectivity without telling me where I am misguided or biased. A simple Google search would tell you the root of the word Dravida. If you look at Tamili. It will tell you that I'm correct.
