Abstract: M C Kangali has deciphered Indus Scripts through Gondi. Mathivanan has deciphered Indus Scripts through Tamil. Gondi and Tamil are Dravidian languages and a preliminary comparison is made between these two authors with respect to Tamil alphabets as proposed by Mathivanan. This comparison is limited to few sample words in Gondi and Tamil, further extended to Sumerian Tamil words. This study gives a preliminary idea of some correspondence as between these languages. Say, a single word of interest common to all three languages Tamil, Gondi and Sumerian is, “aayaa”. We could tell that early Sumerians spoke Tamil only after studying theirs’ education and training system. We require to find out the education system of Indus people. Such studies together with archaeological findings may open the doors to solve the Indus Scripts puzzle enabling reading them through Dravidian languages.
