"Pure Tamil" was considered the standard written language in ancient South India, and has since been considered the ideal style in commentaries on classical texts. It is believed to have been based on the dialects around Madurai, and is notable for having been little eroded by Sanskrit (Prakrit). The oldest Tamil grammar book, Tolkāppiyam (compiled over several centuries from around the time of Christ), is a grammar book that describes and explains this "standard language." [Tokunaga Muneo]

Japanese:
古代南インドで標準的な文章語と考えられ,以後,古典文献の注釈書などで理想的な文体とされてきた〈純正のタミル語〉。マドゥライ周辺の方言が基礎となったとみられ,サンスクリット(プラークリット)による侵食が少ない点に特色がある。タミル最古の文法書《トルハーピヤムTolkāppiyam》(紀元前後から数世紀にわたって成立)は,この〈標準語〉を記述解説した文法書である。【徳永 宗雄】
