"Ariya(m) Munth(u)Thamilum udane solli
kaarikaiyarkku karunai seithaane"
Thirumamthiram - Payiram Verse 65
"ThamilSol VadaSol enum evvirandum
unarththum avanai unaralumame"
Thirumamthiram - Payiram Verse 66
From the above reference it is noted, that Thirumular mentions Tamil being earlier than Sanskrit

Dear Uthappam,
During our college days, there used to be debates on the very same topic and almost every time there will be no sensible argument other than ego clashes between 2 groups. In my opiniion, we Indians are not matured enough to debate such topics academically without emotional outbursts.
So it would be better for all of us to think about how we are going to make India a better place for our future generations.

I can answer this if someone gives me the era in which Sanskrit was last heard spoken.

Well said! Are there any historic (dated) evidences on both sides? In the absence of that, it is a useless debate! Only opinions and no facts!
When we stop labouring under the delusion of our cosmic self-importance, we are free of hindrance, fear, worry and attachment. We are liberated!!!

DONT!!!! The world nowadays totally misses out on sarcasm! Re the cartoon on the New Yorker!
Someone might take you seriously and start answering you even!
