My understanding is that substrate in S. Dravidian
languages is not Austro-Asiatic and that is distinct
from Vedda substrate in Sinhalese. The Andaman
languages, though possibly ultimately related, fall
into 2 or more groups that have not yet been
reconstructed into a coherent family --AFAIK.
There is also Nahali and Kusunda, neither of which are
Dravidian or Munda.
So, there are at least 5 different language groups (or
trces there of) that predate IA, Dravidian and
Austro-Asiatic.
