DravidiansDravidians (drəvĭdˈēəns) [key], name sometimes given to the peoples of S and central India and N Sri Lanka who speak Dravidian languages. They are so called for purely linguistic reasons; the peoples are of varying racial types. It is thought that Dravidian-speaking peoples may have been spread throughout the Indian subcontinent before the invasions of the Aryans. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.
