Age of Sanskrit and Tamil
*Classical Sanskrit (defined by Panini's grammar, ca. 4th BC)
*Classical Tamil (Sangam literature ca. 10th BC or 3rd BC to 4th AD, defined by Tolkappiyam)
From this its hard to find the exact age of both languages. But they are not related. Tamil is Dravidian language and Sanskrit is Indo-Aryan language. But it is clear that Tamil and Sanskrit has their own grammar to sustain independently unlike other Indian languages. Many scholars claim Tamil predates Sanskrit.
