Uncovering the history of South Asia through language.

DravLing is a group of students and experts committed to research and reviving the declining field of Dravidian linguistics, the study of a family of languages spoken across the Indian subcontinent. Our mission is to document and reconstruct modern, ancient, and unattested Dravidian languages. We approach this using both traditional and computational methods, while considering synchronic and diachronic views of South Asian languages.
