Veerakkal Tamil-Brahmi inscription (ca. 2nd cent. BCE) from Pulimaankombai, raised in memory of tīyaṉ antavaṉ, who died in a cattle raid in a village called kūṭal ūr. The words 'peṭu' and 'tīyaṉ' are regarded by Iravatham Mahadevan as pre-Malayalam terms, with "tīyaṉ" (thiyyar) being the name for a caste from Kerala. The inscription contributed to Malayalam being granted classical language status by the Government of India, a status which is granted to languages deemed older than 2,000 years by the "Linguistic Expert Committee."
