Tamilakam
Tamilakam (bahasa Tamil: தமிழகம்) mengacu pada daerah yang dihuni oleh bangsa Tamil Kuno. Tamilakam meliput Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry, Lakshadwip, dan bagian selatan Andhra Pradesh dan Karnataka.[1] Catatan tradisional berjudul Tolkāppiyam menyebut wilayah ini sebagai wilayah budaya tunggal, dengan bahasa Tamil sebagai bahasa ibu[catatan 1] dan budaya semua penduduknya.[catatan 2] Negara Tamil kuno dibagi menjadi beberapa kerajaan. Yang paling terkenal dari kerajaan-kerajaan itu adalah Chera, Chola, Pandya, dan Pallawa. Selama Zaman Sangam, budaya Tamil mulai menyebar ke luar Tamilakam.[4]
