Sivaramakrishnan? Good grief. Please don't tell me that of all the boards, in all the world, we three are Dravidians wound up here?
No, I'm sorry to mislead you and Maahey, but as far as ethnicity goes, I'm a Liguro-Lombard mix. And as for nationality, I'm a Yank. It's just that after spending a fortnight in Madras and Trichy with a friend's family and for his wedding, his mom gave me the name Sivaramakrishnan. And who was I to turn down her kind gift? Also, their family astrologer informed me I was a Tamil in a previous life. As for the age of languages, all four Dravidian contestants are the same age. Tamil just has an older literature than the other three. Also, the percentages for Sanskrit loanwords I've seen are different if you're counting in colloquial versus literary Tamil.
