Tamil is oldest language in the world. Because when men was born in the world, that land called as lemur land or Kumari Kandam. That land is inside of sea (South side of Kanniyakumari- Tamilnadu) now. Tamil is a Dravidan language and Telugu,Kannada and Malayalam also. Lemuria is the name of a hypothetical "lost land" variously located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The concept's 19th century origins lie in attempts to account for discontinuities in biogeography -- however, the scientific concept of Lemuria has been rendered obsolete by modern understanding of plate tectonics. Although sunken continents do exist --- see Zealandia in the Pacific and the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian ocean --- there is no known geological formation under the Indian or Pacific Oceans that corresponds to the hypothetical Lemuria. Though Lemuria is no longer considered a valid scientific hypothesis, it has been adopted by writers involved in the occult, as well as some Tamil writers of India. Accounts of Lemuria differ, but all share a common belief that a continent existed in ancient times and sank beneath the ocean as a result of a geological, often cataclysmic, change. There is no scientific evidence to support these claims.
