Excerpt from A Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian or South-Indian Family of Languages
It is now more than thirty-seven years since I commenced the study Of Tamil, and I had not proceeded far in the study before I came to the conclusion that much light might be thrown on Tamil by comparing it with Telugu, Canarese, and the other sister idioms. On proceeding to make the comparison I found that my supposition was verified by the result, and also, as it appeared to me, that Tamil imparted still more light than it received. I have become more and more firmly persuaded, as time has gone on, that it is not a theory, but a fact, that none of these languages can be thoroughly understood and appreciated without some study of the others, and hence that a Comparative Grammar Of the Dravidian Languages may claim to be regarded not merely as something that is useful in its way, but as a necessity.
