Like Spanish, Italian is also the daughter language of the now extinct Latin. Thus, it is among one of the 5 Romance languages, the other four being French, Portuguese, Spanish and Romanian. The Kural does not appear to have been trans- lated into Portuguese and Romanian. The only translation of the Kural in Italian appeared in 1986 and copies of the same seem to be still available for purchase online. A comprehen- sive review of this translation by Alessandra Iyer can be had from the Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, Vol. 51, No. 3 (1988), pp. 583-584.
