I don't see anything wrong, even genetic studies support the view that local Brahmins (mostly men) married the children of local rich people, traders, nobility and even tribals (mostly women). So almost no Tamil (or any other) Brahmin is pure except for the latest migrants to the Tamil country like those Vadadesa Vadama or Ashtasahasram group.

The same genetic evidence also says that Pancha Dravida Brahmins (Gujarat, Maharashtra, parts of MP and full South India) are in fact one population with near identical genetic history.

So basically this is a moot point. Language is irrelevant in grand scheme. It is more important to preserve some elements of culture and vedic tradition. It doesn't matter where the spouse comes from if these are retained.

Although there are some limitations, for example a Brahmin should ideally marry a Brahmin or a Kshatriya, and restrictions for women (loses caste status if the marriage rule is not followed), all of that us only if you follow manusmriti, because it us debatable as Bhagwad Gita can contradict these points.
