Tamil is a classical language, where one has to know modern Tamil has evolved a lot from classical Tamil. Also spoken Tamil is a bit different from written Tamil. The old classical Tamil called Sangam literature comprises poetry composed of about 500 poets (men & women), bards, and kings around 300BC to 300AD. The Sangam corpus encompasses the emotional side and lifestyle of ancient Tamil civilization where the modern Tamil society is able to understand their ancestors.
