Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Dravidian language is a family of languages from the southern region of India. It consists of Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. Hindi and Marathi are not Dravidian languages.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Dravidian languages are first attested in the 2nd century BCE, as Tamil-Brahmi script, inscribed on the cave walls in the Madurai and Tirunelveli districts of Tamil Nadu.
