There is not much of dispute that dravida has come from Trimili (crete).
****GK: Did they bring the Dravidian languages with them?****
My earlier mail showed the connection between Lycia and Dravidians. the wikipedia page mentioned by you says this:
'The Lycians own name "Trm̃mi" comes from the region of Trimili which was recently discovered on an ancient road sign in Patara excavation. Interestingly, today a Turkish village named "Dirmil" stands on the lands of ancient Trimili which may prove that this is the evolved name of the land therefore the ancient Lycians.
****GK: But the Lycians did not speak a Dravidian but an IE (Anatolian) language.****
