South India
South India has an independent literary tradition dating back over 2500 years. The first known literature of South India is the poetic "Sangam" literature, written in Tamil 2500 to 2100 years ago. The literature was composed in three successive poetic assemblies known as Tamil "Sangam"s that were held in the ancient times on a now vanished continent far to the south of India. This literature includes the oldest grammar treatise "Tholkappiyam" and epics "Silappatikaram" and "Manimekalai" written in Tamil. References to Kannada literature appear from fourth century CE. Telugu literature adopted a form of Prakrit which in course of development became the immediate ancestor of Telugu. Poets like Annamacharya made many contributions to Telugu literature. Distinct Malayalam literature came later in the 13th century.
