The Tamil language currently used is not same as the one when the other Dravidian languages separated, So calling other languages 'derived' from the Tamil is not correct. All Dravidian languages have same root, so calling it 'Dravidian Language' and Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam & Telugu etc. derived from that language is more accurate and avoids the confusion
