Robert Caldwell - Definition and Overview

Bishop Robert Caldwell (1814 -1891) was an orientalist who pioneered the study of the Dravidian languages with his influential work Comparative Grammar of Dravidian Languages (1856; revised edition 1875). He was the first European to propose that the South Indian languages of Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Telugu formed a Dravidian language family, affirming their antiquity and literary history, and their independence from Sanskrit and the Indo-Aryan languages. He speculated that speakers of the proto-Dravidian language entered India from the northwest.
