South Asia
Dravidian (Kannad'a, Malayālam, Telugu, Tamil)
The proposed homeland for this stock is the Indus Valley in the northwest region of the Indian subcontinent, and the Harappan language and civilization identified with this region may or may not be Proto-Dravidian. This stock is another whose languages spread with the expansion of agricultural societies moving into areas occupied by hunter-gatherers. Dravidian languages are currently found now only in the southern portion of India, and the usual explanation is that speakers of Dravidian languages formerly occupied a wider area but were pushed to the south and east by the Indo-Europeans. Dravidian languages are well known for having retroflex consonants, where the tongue curves or curls itself on a point between the alveolar ridge and the hard palate. These became an areal feature of the South Asia and have been borrowed into languages of the Indic branch of the Indo-European stock.
