So 2300 BCE was when starting in the Levant when the Akkadian Empire was in control.
Early Dynastic IIIB 2500–2334 BC
Dynasty of Akkad (Sargon the Great) 2334–2154 BC
@GoodAttention While the Early Dynastic IIIB and Dynasty of Akkad (Sargon the Great) were happening and you @GoodAttention explained that the Tamil language didn't come from the Akkadian, then during this time from people who spoke the Tamil language, did they during this time have three zones, and was this Ancient Southern India where these three zones were?
This is an interesting question, because unlike the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations which had a centralized "kingship", it does not appear that this was the case for the Indus Valley (from my understanding). So I don't believe there is a zone structure as such, since to me this refers to an "area of influence".
Furthermore, Ancient South Indian (ASI) and Ancient North Indian (ANI) I believe refer to genetic markers to differentiate the two groups.
My understanding there are 3 factors that we can use to consider history of peoples, namely
(1) Genetics (10s of thousands of years)
(2) Language (Hundreds to thousands of years)
(3) Location/movements (Hundreds of years)
Example of zones in another thread, however, I wonder if the people who spoke Tamil also had these same three zones.

When reading the PDF further below in this post showing zones below
Keep in mind: I'm not saying this is the date and areas that you're referring to: when reading this PDF, I'm showing zone structures, and did the people who spoke Tamil also use these zone structures too, or something similar, during 2300 BCE

I am not certain, but I believe the question to ask is how far south and east of the Indus Valley was the presence of any Tamil language?
