World languages somehow share some common features. Linguist name them as universal grammatical laws. The very same features of a language could be seen in other languages as well. Likewise, there were some notable features could be seen shared by one of the classical languages, Tamil and Tibetian language.
Besides studying the way of living of the Tibetan people, the paper also explore the resemblances between the languages, especially the basis of the phonetics of the Tibetan and Tamil languages as underlined by the oldest grammatical treatise that could be seen in Tamil, the Tholkappiyam. The author has tried to establish the similarities between these languages, by considering the historical references and from the literature.
