==Background==
An [[Indo-Aryan languages|Indo-Aryan]] language belonging to the [[Indo-Iranian languages|Indo-Iranian branch]] of the [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European language family]], Saurashtra, once spoken in the [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra region]] of [[Gujarat]], is spoken today chiefly by a small population of [[Saurashtra people|Saurashtrians]] settled in parts of [[Tamil Nadu]]. With the Saurashtrian language being the only Indo-Aryan language employing a [[Dravidian languages|Dravidian script]], the population’spopulation's familiarity with the language resulted in the translation of the Tirukkural in this language spoken by a small number of people.
 
''Tirukkural Payiram—Pitika Pragaranam'' by [[Sankhu Ram|S. Sankhu Ram]] remains the only known translation of the Kural text into the Saurashtra language. It was posthumously published in 1980 in [[Madurai]].<ref name="Polilan2019">{{cite book |editor1= Polilan|editor2=K.
