Is it true that tamils are linked with the southern italians?

  There was a Tamil settlement in Italy in the 1st 2nd century A.D. Rome and Tamilnadu had a lot of business people travelling back and forth in the bygone days.

  It would be interesting to know where the Tamil diaspora has dispersed. We already know about the Caribbean, South Africa, Guyana, Uganda, SE Asia, especially as the settlers have maintained their Tamil identity quite well. Many feel sentimental about the 'homeland' too.
  
  Any thoughts?

  Tamilians came from West Indies, and Jamaica, some 5000 years ago sailing on log boats in search of food. Later they made settlement in southern part of India. Still their habits are more or less like native West indians and Jamaicans.

  yes what a study you done Scholar! Thamizhans origin is 'kumarikandam' and the left over land is the submerged land that south of now day TN (including chera nadu;kerala) and Eezham(Thamizheezham and Sri Lanka) are one of the left over part of kumarikandam(or known as Lemuria) along with Madagscar.
