  • Devaneya Pavanar (Tamil தேவநேய பாவாணர் Tevaneya Pavanar, IAST Tēvanēya Pāvāṇar bzw. Devaneya Pavanar oder ஞா. தேவநேயன் Na. Tevaneyan, IAST Ñā. Tēvanēyaṉ bzw. G. Devaneyan; * 7. Februar 1902 in , Tamil Nadu, Indien; † 15. Januar 1981 in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, Indien) war ein tamilischer Schriftsteller und Nationalist, der seine Sprache glorifizierte und zu fördern versuchte. Pavanar schrieb mehr als 35 Bücher. Er initiierte das Etymological Dictionary Project ‚Etymologisches Wörterbuch-Projekt‘, für Tamil. In seinem Werk vertrat er die wissenschaftlich völlig unhaltbare Ansicht, dass das Tamil sich vor Jahrhunderttausenden als älteste Sprache der Menschheit auf einem heute versunkenen Kontinent „Kumari Kandam“ entwickelt habe und dass alle anderen Sprachen der Menschheit vom Tamil abstammten. Auch glaubte er, dass es seine göttliche Mission sei, der Welt dieses Wissen zu vermitteln. Zudem schrieb er viele Musikstücke und Gedichte, unter anderem die Venpa-Sammlung. Der Titel Senthamil Selvar wurde ihm 1979 vom Bundesstaat Tamil Nadu verliehen. Er wurde auch als மொழி ஞாயிறு IAST Moḻi Ñayiru, deutsch ‚Sonne der Sprache‘ bezeichnet. (de)
  • Devaneya Pavanar (also known as G. Devaneyan, Ñanamuttan Tevaneyan; 7 February 1902 – 15 January 1981) was a prominent Tamil scholar who wrote over 35 research volumes. Additionally, he was a staunch proponent of the "Pure Tamil movement" and initiated the Etymological Dictionary Project primarily to bring out the roots of Tamil words and their connections and ramifications with Nostratic studies. In his 1966 Primary Classical language of the World, he argues that the Tamil language is the "most natural" (iyal-moḻi) and also a proto-world language, being the oldest (thon-moḻi) language of the world, from which all other major languages of the world are derived. He believed that its literature, later called Sangam literature and usually considered to have been written from 200 BCE and 300 CE, spanned a huge period from 10,000 to 5,500 BCE. Mainstream linguists, geologists and historians do not subscribe to his theories. Devaneya Pavanar composed many musical pieces (Isaik kalambakam) and many noteworthy poems, including the collection of Venpa. The title Senthamiḻ Selvar was conferred on him by the Tamil Nadu State Government in 1979, and he was also addressed as Dravida Mozhi nool Nayiru ("Sun of language"). (en)
