Dravidian (culture) (South Asian, Asian, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Ancient culture and style of a certain non-Indo-European people who flourished in South Asia, and who continue today in southern India, Sri Lanka, and elsewhere. Among distinguishing characteristics are architectural styles, distinctive clothing and hair styles, and as well as language. Many scholars believe that Dravidian languages are unrelated to any other extant language family, although there is extensive lexical borrowing, with Tamil being the oldest existing Dravidian language. Dravidian loanwords in Sanskrit date to around 1500 BCE, meaning the culture and its influence were firmly established prior to that date.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Oude cultuur en stijl van een bepaald niet-Indo-Europees volk dat een bloeiend bestaan leidde in Zuid-AziĆ« en dat nog steeds bestaat in Zuid-India, Sri Lanka en elders. Onderscheidende kenmerken zijn architectuurstijlen, karakteristieke kleding- en haarstijlen en de taal. Veel wetenschappers denken dat de Dravidische talen niet verwant zijn aan een andere nog bestaande taalfamilie, hoewel er op grote schaal lexicaal is geleend. Tamil is de oudste nog bestaande Dravidische taal. Dravidische leenwoorden in het Sanskriet dateren van ongeveer 1500 v.Chr., hetgeen betekent dat de cultuur en de invloed daarvan al eerder stevig geworteld was.
