Which is timeless, Sanskrit or Tamil?

 Sanskrit is a great language. I do not know much about it. I can only write about Tamizh.

If we understand the structure of “Tamizh” - it has the following 6 consonants which makes it timeless. -(Aadhi Mudhal Andham Varai).

Eternal Consonants : Ya, ra, la,va,, lha, zha

From AGASTYAM:

MANTRA:

Tamizh has eighteen (6 x 3) Consonants, twelve (6 x 2) vowels and a weapon (astra) ak (trinetra -three dots).

Hard Consonants: ka sa da ta pa ra
Soft Consonants: ngha nggha nhha na ma nha
Eternal Consonants : Ya, ra, la,va,, lha, zha

YANTRA [form of Kathikeya]

The visual form of Tamizh language is Lord Karthikeya. He is born on the day of suklapaksha (sixth day of bright half of lunar month) carried by Lord Agni (Manipura Chakra) with six faces (2x6 vowels; 3x6 consonants), wield a vel (spear). His beauty can be well defined as that of sun’s rays and is considered as a war God.

MANDALA [Temples, Art, Music]

The mandala or piece of environment where it puts its ownership rights is the adhisthana and encompasses cosmic elements of temples, art, architecture and music.Throughout tamizhians life this mandala will act as an auric centre that will store all his karma and the base for many lives that a person has to go through i.e. deep in unconscious] .The effect is now felt in the subtler dimension of consciousness of over 70 million people.

Mystic Import of the Letters of the Alphabet:

The letters of the Tamil Alphabets are grouped into ‘masculine’, ‘feminine’, and ‘neuter’.

Among vowels, ‘a’, ‘i’, ‘u’, ‘e’, and ‘o’, are ‘masculine’, ‘aa’, ‘ii’, ‘uu’, ‘ee’, ‘ai’, ‘oo’ and ‘au’, are ‘feminine’, and ‘ak’ is ‘neuter’.

Among the consonants,

‘ka’, ‘sa’, ‘da’, ‘ta’, ‘pa’, and ‘ra’ are ‘masculine’ (Vallinam); ‘ngha’, ‘nggha’ , ‘nhha’, ‘na’, ‘ma’, and ‘nha’ are ‘feminine (mellinam);

and ‘ya’, ‘ra’ , ‘la’, ‘va’, ‘lha’ and ‘zha’ are ‘neuter’ (idainam).

There are six consonants in each of the three groups (‘masculine’ 'feminine’ and 'neuter’), totaling eighteen.

There are five and seven vowels in the two groups (‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’) respectively, and one vowel in the ‘neuter’ group, totaling twelve.

Excluding ‘ak’ which is astram, there are twelve vowels and eighteen consonants, totaling thirty.

(All in multiples of six – suggest the divinity Shanmuga, Saravana, Karthikeya, Subramanya, Muruga – Tamil God).

He represents both ‘masculine’ (Siva) and ‘feminine’ (Kaumari) principles of phenomenal existence. The different modes of the interaction between these two principles explain the differences that obtain between various accomplishments. The letters of the alphabet, especially the vowels (which can occur without the involvement of consonants), are called the “aspects” (kala- time) of the mother-goddess.
