Definitely not !

It has been gradually made by the ancient common people; then, it has got its letters and literature by the scholars of its own. No one language was there during that ancient period. Archeologist believe that it may be at the period of 50,000 BC.

So many evidents and literature of Tamil have been annihilated by Tsunami in nearly 2000 BC when so many geographical changes took place in all over the world.

But, Sanskrit favoured Indian government has refused to look for evidents into Indian ocean where Tamil people originally originated and taken only 2000 years as Tamil civilization's age and history.

Tamil is the mother of all Dravidian languages including Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam. Numerous Tamil terms and words are still alive in so many languages of all over the world.

What are Romance Languages derived from?

The Romance languages are primarily derived from Latin, as spoken at the time of the Roman Empire. The vocabulary of the Romance languages is similar to that of Latin. Modern Romance languages have shed many of the grammatical features of Latin and acquired new ones. The reliance on word order (subject-verb-object) is a well known feature of the main Romance languages (and also English). Of course, like in any language, there are features that are derived from other languages. This inter-mixing often happens when two (or more) languages are in close proximity to each other. This is what happened to French and English - English has a vocabulary composed of a tremendous amount of French words. Other romance languages, like Spanish, borrow heavily from English when the speakers of both languages are in proximity, or when an equivalent term in a language is more difficult or wordy than a term in another language (this happens frequently for technical, medical, and other highly-specialized fields). One notable example that is not related to a specialized field is the French word "week-end" - a blatant copy of the English word that means the same thing. The closest French equivalent is "fin de semaine" (although the semantics are not exact).

What is the contribution of VVS Iyer as Tamil Nationalists?

Immense indeed. He was a revolutionary and a great scholar of Tamil. In this day when many clamour to study in English medium education V.V.S Iyer who spoke several languages fluently and was a great Tamil scholar to boot is someone worth remembering. His knowledge of Kamba Ramayanam and the eloquence with which he praised Kamban as the greatest poet in any language is something the Tamils must remember. It is time the Tamil people start cherishing their language while learning other languages in the world at the same time.
