That's normal because allDravidian languages are derived from Tamil .Tamil is the mother of all Dravidian languages.
According to the evolution theory and the migration studies of human beings, we originated in Africa and one group migrated to South India and another migrated to present day Arabia/Iran and then into europe...The first inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent were the dravidians who lived in present day south tamilnadu and kerala...and they spoke a language that is derived by imitating the basic sounds of birds and animals...this language later grew to be called Tamil and it had acquired a written form...The brahmi script was used in the earliest tamil literature that has been found..this script is the base of all the scripts of dravidian languages...

DNA studies have shown that the original inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent (Much before the Aryans came into north India and much before the language sanskrit was born) were the Virumandi clan in tamilnadu and they speak Tamil...these people are the original Indians if you want to call them so...Please watch the googlevideos link and the DNA studies of the haplo group website...

Later Dravidians migrated further north and and settled in present day karnataka, Andhra etc...Initially these settlers were speaking tamil but slowly it got modified and they developed their own script and their dialect developed into a mature, independent form known as todays Kannada and Telugu...

until the 10t century Tamil and Malayalam were the same language and there was no distinction.."Malayalam" means "the dialect of the Hill people" in Tamil...slowly the hill people beyond the western ghats mountain ranges developed tehir own style and dialect and malayam branched off as a separate language...with its own literature..

Some dravidians migrated even further north into the present day afghanistan and iran and they have also evolved into a seprate language (Eg Malto).... The indus valley script (The language of the indus valley civilisation) is so far undeciphered...but so far the best accepted and the most consistent theory is that this language was dravidian...the original harappans who lived in present day balochistan in pakistan, spoke a dravidian language called Brahvi...It must be noted also that the indua vally civilisation happened much later than the migrant settlers in deep south India that i mentioned earlier(The virumandis)..

Now all these dravidian languages are quite mature and independent though they they had the same origin and this origin language was called Tamil..It must be noted than written script evolved much much later and hence origin of the languages can be much older than their written forms.

Terrible assumption.
I speak English and Hindi.
I've been to Sri Lanka around 5 times. My immediate family speak English, my dad speaks Tamil with his family. Family living in England all speak English of course. In SriLanka, they all speak English too as my appama was an English teacher and my appapa was the headmaster of a school.
