‘Tolkappiyam’ is known to be the earliest surviving Tamil literary work. It is supposed to have been written by Tolkappiar, one of the 12 disciples of the saint Agastya. The book stands testimony to the development of Tamil as a language. It is not merely a grammar textbook but includes the classification of habitats, animals, plants and human beings. It also discusses human emotions and interactions.

Tolkappiyam is divided into three chapters: orthography, atymology and subject matter (Porul). The first two chapters of the Tolkappiyam deal with the codification of Tamil whereas the last part deals with people and their behavior. The grammar assists in putting across the literary message on the topic of human behavior.
