Cheras Did Not Speak Tamil, But an early form of Malayalam called Tamizh

The language spoken in Chera empire was an ancient form of Malayalam, called Tamizh. It is not Tamil language spoken in Pandia and Chola regions. Malayalam is classical.[1]

If there is any proof that one of the earliest documents in Malayalam language is from 1200 years ago, it should have been produced in the court. Madras High Court has rejected such baseless claims.

Edit wars with ideologically motivated people are not fruitful. I am too young to do that. Can somebody please help clean up the article. Judgements from Indian judiciary and decisions by the Indian Union Cabinet should be given more weightage than random articles by someone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.248.141.21 (talk) 20:25, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References

Scholarly books, not "judgements from Indian judiciary and decisions by the Indian Union Cabinet", are reliable sources by Wikipedia standards. Not to mention that the Madras High Court judgment cited by you doesn't even mention the Cheras. utcursch | talk 21:52, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Probably OP was just mentioning that Malayalam (hopefully I spelled it right) is old enough that the first documents where much older than 1200 years old.

I think that the argument by the OP is valid. Judgments from courts are to be considered valid. The judgments are done with all these arguments and evidences being taken into consideration. Wikipedia does not have any official policy stating that Indian judicial declarations are not scholarly. As a person who likes Indology, currently in USA, I can vouch for the fact that in my field (Sinology) considers court judgments valid.
