Template:Infobox proto-language Template:Dravidian Proto-South Dravidian is the linguistic reconstruction of the common ancestor of the south Dravidian languages.^[1]^[2] Its descendants include Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Tulu, Badaga, Kodava, Irula, Kota and Toda.

It has been estimated that Proto-South Dravidian existed until the beginning of the 7th century BCE. However, knowledge of the early history of Dravidian languages remains limited.^[3]
