To all you tamizhans, something that I find sad is that many indian languages speakers write their respective languages in the latin scripts in spite of having such wonderful writing systems. However, Tamizh I mostly see it written in the tamil script and that simple act show how much respect and appreciation you have for your language. I don't mean any offense to other languages speakers but I just wish everyone would use their scripts. I've seen people say it's easier to just write in English and I get it but if, for one, Chinese people use their characters, Then I'm sure you can use your own abugida.

As a tamilian, hats off to your research, unbiased presentation and excellent pronunciation of the alphabets !
Did you listen to her full? She is denying lots of fact... Tamil can stand alone without Sanskrit. And Tamil excavation let to uncovering inscriptions very similar to Indus script. It's even older than brahmi script they are mentioning.
Ancient Tamil literature is quite an ocean. Here's a double entendre (இரட்டுற மொழிதல்) Tamil poem that describes sesame (எள்) and snake (பாம்பு) through the same stanzas.
ஆடிக் குடத்தடையும் ஆடும்போ தேயிரையும்
மூடித் திறக்கின் முகங்காட்டும் - ஓடிமண்டை
பற்றின் பரபரெனும் பாரிற்பிண் ணாக்குமுண்டாம்
உற்றிடுபாம் பெள்ளெனவே யோது
ஆடிக் குடத்தடையும்
- After the snake charmer’s show, the snake goes into the basket container
- The sesame seeds are crushed and reach the jug as oil
ஆடும்போ தேயிரையும்
- The snake hisses and makes sounds while spreading its hood in front of the snake charmer
- Traditional sesame oil processing methods such as stone grinding and wood pressing produce sounds during the grinding process
மூடித் திறக்கின் முகங்காட்டும்
- The snake shows its face when the cover of the basket container is opened
- When the lid of the jar of oil is opened, it shows the reflection of our face
ஓடிமண்டை பற்றின் பரபரெனும்
- The snake slithers and seeks pitchers (resembling a skull) to hide and makes rustling sounds when inside it
- The oil is applied on the head to the scalp that is dry
பாரிற்பிண் ணாக்குமுண்டாம்
- If you see, the snake when extending its hood has a tongue-like symbol behind the hood
- When the oil processing is done, what remains is the refuse of the oil seeds
The translation isn't accurate, just remembered that I had read this in my school days.
Here's is a single-letter abugida poem :)
தாதீது தோதீது தத்தை தூதோதாது
தூதிதூ தொத்தி தத் தூததே - தாதொத்த
துத்திதத் தாதேது தித்தித்தேத் தொத்தீது
தித்தித் ததோதித் திதி (96)

As an Italian currently studying Indian languages & cultures at university, I have to commend the accuracy of this video and the effort that must be behind it. Great content, Julie!
I agree
What's the name of that master? Or what career is it comprised in?
@@gastonmartinez6316 It's a Bachelor's degree and its name roughly translates to "Languages, cultures and societies of Asia and Mediterranean Africa" (I say it "roughly translates" because it's an Italian university and the courses are held in Italian). There are several Master's degrees which can be accessed after completing this Bachelor's degree.
It's not accurate. It is not Dravidian, it is thamizh. Dravidian was a lie. And Sanskrit came later after Aryan arrival in the Indus valley.

Beautiful comment! Tamil indeed feels young despite its incredible age!
Oldest language where ! Not even in India, the Harrappan language is even older in India.
@@ASMM1981EGY Harappan is an unknown language as of today. Nobody has successfully decoded it yet. Linguists like Kamil Zvelebil, Asko Parpola, Iravatham Mahadevan hypothesise that it could be Old Tamil. It’s interesting that you mentioned that “Tamil is not even old in India.”. By written accounts, Tamil is the oldest written language in India. I think you’re from Egypt? Did you know that there’s Tamil Brahmi found in your country? Look it up. It’s interesting that ancient Tamils have traded with ancient Egyptians, Romans, Greek, etc.
@@தமிழோன் If the hypothesis of Harappan being old Tamil was true, Tamil linguists would have understood it with minimum difficulty. But anyway Harappan is older Dravidian Indian than Tamil.
@@ASMM1981EGY You ignored my first 2 sentences. And don’t know the meaning of the word “hypothesis.
Nice to see my language getting more recognition.....Im a half but tamil is my mother tongue ❤️
I am Tamil, but live outside India. Great to know about my mother tongue.
The Sangam period was patronized by the Pandyas, who were one of the three great Kingdoms in Tamilnadu. Tholkaappiyam is the oldest book we have now, by which the grammar is based and due to the archaeological excavations it is also proved that tamil is 5000 years old.
True. Agasthiya is a brahminical conspiracy.
Tholkappiyam is the oldest literature in the world.l remember during school exams it was asked( which is the oldest literature in world).. This book was written by tholkappiyar likely around 8000 B. c
It's true
...the tolkappiyam book says it's an additional and corrections to the previous book, that book hasn't been found yet, so for now this is the oldest book
8,000 and 5,000 🤣🤣😃🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 delusional ignorants archeologically and linguistically it dates back to 200 BC
The characters of Thai,Malay and Indonesian looks very similar to Tamil, this is probably because their Languages were infact inspired by Tamil during the Chola Kingdoms influence in South East Asia
I'm a Tamil born, raised and living in Malaysia. It's true that there's a lot of similarities between Tamil and Malay language. Southeast Asian cuisine are also heavily influenced by South Indian cooking - many Malay and Indonesian cuisine uses curry leaves.
The Tamil Grantha scripts(Pallava scripts) brought by Tamil kings and traders, induced the development of many Southeast Asian scripts such as Khmer, Javanese, Kawi, Baybayin and Thai script.
script not language
As a proud Tamil speaking Hindu from South Africa, I want to thank you for propagating my language. I just want to mention though, that there is far, far more than 70 million people that speak Tamil. Also to add that the modern day Korean language has adopted a lot of Tamil words, such as Uppuh, Amah, etc.
Julie, I learned a few years ago a fascinating fact: there is a very old but still very visible connexion between Finno-Ugric and Tamil languages (!)...It's absolutely flooring! Look into this, it's crazy (even if the shared vocabulary and grammar isn't a big lot, yet it's incredible).

Great Video! But actually, you can speak and write Tamil without the influence of Sanskrit. Yes we have and use many Sanskrit loan words in Tamil since then, but we do have our own Tamil words for the Sanskrit loan words we are using today. Some of the examples:
King : Rajan/Raja (Sanskrit loan word in Tamil today) - Raja (Sanskrit) - Mannar (Original Tamil word)
Sun : Sooriyan (Sanskrit loan word in Tamil today) - Surya (Sanskrit) - Aadhavan (Original Tamil word)
Moon : Chandhiran(Sanskrit loan word in Tamil today) - Chandra (Sanskrit) - Vennila/Nila (Original Tamil word)
Sky: Aagayam(Sanskrit loan word in Tamil today) - Akasha (Sanskrit) - Vaanam (Original Tamil word)
Night: Rathiri (Sanskrit loan word in Tamil today) - Ratri (Sanskrit) - Iravu (Original Tamil word)
God: Deivam (Sanskrit loan word in Tamil today) - Deva (Sanskrit) - Kadavul/Iraivan (Original Tamil word)
For Sun = Nyayiru, moon = thingal as we use in weeks.
Superb

You are amazing! I have admired the Tamil language, the culture and skills of the Tamils. I believe the largest hoard of Roman gold coins is in the Tamil lands. The major rulers were the Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas and the Tamils produced fine textiles, jewellery, spices, tiles, sculpture which were in high demand even in Rome. The late A K Ramanujan of Chicago U wrote a marvelous book called "Poems of Love and War". The first Tamil grammar was the Tholkappiyam. Thiruvalluvar's Thirukkural is a marvelous collection of advice, morals, ethics. The Harappans (most likely Tamils, as you mentioned) had no Kings, no weapons of war. They traded as far as the Oxus (Amu Darya) river. The Tamils enrich humanity

Nice video!👏
4:57 And! You've left a (three dots/small circles) letter in Tamil alphasyllabary script i.e. *ஃ* (pronounced as ≈ *Ahkh* ). It is neither a vowel(உயிர்/Uyir= Soul) nor a consonant(மெய்/Mey= Body). It is called as "Aytha Ezhuthu (ஆய்த எழுத்து)".
It is sometimes used for f sound and rarely h sound to avoid ஹ
@@venki3deditor no way. I'm native Tamil speaker. ஃ sound is no way related to F sound. ஃ itself sounds like (a sort of) ஹ. To be precise, ஃ is categorised by some scholars under "Voiceless Velar fricative /x/" which is equivalent to ख़ (not ख). But according to Tamil grammar it is neither a vowel nor a consonant. So, this letter ஃ could be categorised under "Voiceless Glottal fricative /h/" that is equivalent to Sanskrit's अः (but grammatically its usage entirely different between Tamil and Sanskrit).
@@santhoshrider7348 For writing, it is used.
@@venki3deditor yeah! But it's a convention like to represent /ʂ/ sound by writing "S and H" together. But /h/ pronunciation has nothing to do with /ʂ/ pronunciation.
The more correct and closer way to represent the F sound in Tamil is "ஃவ (Ah + Va)". Because "வ(/v/ or /ʋ/)" is labiodental and also "F" is labiodental. This also wrong because we're using two different letters having different pronunciations to represent or make a third letter and pronunciation. Just for convenience we can use that's all.
ஃவ (hva) ≈ Fa
ஃஜ (hja) ≈ Za

Great video! I had a big interest in Tamil recently and this came up right on time!
Looks like you missed the recent excavation. Porunai river excavation dates Tamil back to 3200 years. Potteries were found with Tamili inscription. Tamil is older than Sanscrit. Tamil is the only language which can be spoken without mixing any Sanskrit words. Tamil scholars, Tamil teachers, Tamil enthusiast can talk pure Tamil. Sanskrit scholars influenced Tamil by mixing Sanskrit words to create new language like they did to create malayalam, but Tamil people did not leave their mother tongue and continued to speak Tamil with some Sanskrit words as the Sanskrit scholars are highly influential in the education system and injected Sanskrit words.

Love from Jhanrkhand bro. I can speak 3 languages hindi english and bhojpuri how about you..
Yes , dravidian theory is nothing more than an assumption ignoring other languages having Sanskrit mixture in base language and cannot be independent without it unlike tamil
Excellent job on covering the Tamil language! Thank you! 🙏🏻 You've put a lot of time in researching Tamil which is phenomenal. I appreciate your hard work! Just sharing my thoughts on few of the things covered in this video:
1. Agathiyar (also spelt Akathiyar) & Agastya - There are two versions of the origins of this legendary person: Tamil version and Vedic version. Tamil version says that he's an ethnic Tamil sage moved from ancient Tamilakam (modern Tamil Nadu and Kerala) to the North to spread Hinduism. Vedic version says he's an Aryan sage who's the author of several hymns of the Rig veda. It is possible that Agathiyar and Agastya were two unrelated persons later merged together. The Tamil name, Agathiyar, comes from the Tamil root word 'akam' which means many things like 'mind', 'within', inside', 'self', 'house' etc... So the Tamil name Agathiyar means 'one who realises self' which is the core concept of all the Indian spiritual schools. Whereas the Sanskrit name, Agastya, comes from the Sanskrit root 'aj' which means 'brighten'. So the Sanskrit name, Agastya, means 'one who brightens'. As you can see, both Tamil and Sanskrit names have their own derivations. Thus, Agathiyar and Agastya must be 2 distinct persons later merged because their names and their roles in history are similar.
2. Tamil without Sanskrit vocabulary: Writing and speaking Tamil without Sanskrit is totally possible. There are Tamil equivalent words for every Sanskrit words used today. In fact, Tamil has the least Sanskrit influence of all the languages in India. Anyone who studied Tamil in schools and knows decent Sanskrit can write pure Tamil effortlessly. I am one of those people. I know decent amount of basic Sanskrit and I can easily identify Sanskrit words used in Tamil language today. I simply substitute Sanskrit words with the Tamil equivalents. Why? Well, I personally find pure Tamil beautiful, elegant, and mystical. Nothing more nothing less. :)
3. Use of 'zh' for ழ்: I don't know the reason either. I guess, it's simply used to emphasise that 'ழ்' should not be pronounced like 'L'. 🤷🏻♂
Don't compress or compare or compromise tamil language into Dravidian circle. The word Dravidian which symbolises the language was started in the time just just before 800 years ago.. as you know it is more far from the time. Dravidian word reduce its time and proud. Thamizh is thamizh that's it.
Note: I am tamilian sorry for my bad English 😂
please make a one video for Tamizh and Korean language culture similarity... it's very interesting..
I'm proud to be Tamil from Sri Lanka.
Good work.🎉. keep it up🎉.
தமிழ் வாழ்க.
Wow Julie, you just nailed those pronunciations. Even North indians don't pronouns these sounds properly. As a foreigner you pronounced ழ perfectly. Kudos to you!
தமிழனா இருப்பதில் பெருமை 🔥🔥♥️♥️
Great! I'm from the philippines and I love Indian(Hindi ,Assam ,sanskrit etc.) and sri lankan(sinhalese & tamil) script...I would like to suggest do ilocano dialect or filipino, the ancient script is very designful and it is said that it was originated from the Brahmi writting system when Indians traded with Malay,Indos and Filipino many yrs ago
Pallava Tamil brahmi script
The indians traded with South East asians are actually Tamilians.
@శ్రీ ధర్మం and here comes the 🤡🤡🤡. Have you ever heard of cholas navy? How you guys will accept as you guys don't have a proper history.
Tamil script has been found on Keeladi excavated pots, which are nearly 3000 years old. It is not Brahmi script. It is Tamizhi. Script found on pots clearly suggests that common Tamils of that age know how to read & write. Also the fact lot of women poets contributing to Sangam era poems, clearly proves that Tamils were unique. North Indian Manu treats women less than sutras & are not allowed to become literate.
@శ్రీ ధర్మం there is lots of proofs. U without researching don't comment noob. Goltie
Congratulations Julie for an excellent video on my language. You make me a prouder Tamizhan, living in South America!
Tamil Vowels and Consonants are called as Soul and Body. The grammar is based on how a Soul and Body involve in creating sound. For example a soul cannot directly contact another Soul, it has to contact through Body only. Similarly Body cannot create sound by its own. Body is just a medium/material. The Tamil vowels are common for any language in the world. Example B,C,D,G,P,T,V has E sound in it and F,H,J,K,L,M,N,S,X,Z has A sound in it and Q has U sound in it and Y has I sound in it. W - double U (UU) it has U sound. R has “ah” sound but this is not in english as a separate vowel. In fact “ah” is the base for all proper sounds created from mouth. Do not consider shh, iff sound which, these are not in Tamil.You can create lot more sounds like these from your mouth, but those cannot be taken as proper sounds since you cannot have a proper consonent(body) position. Yes, Consonants are just positions of the mouth/tongue/lips. If you tell “ah” continuously meanwhile close your mouth and open you will get “Amma”. If you tell “ah” continuously and stop while you close your mouth and start again while you open you will get “Appa”. “iP” and “iM” are same positions only difference is “iM” is nasal. Similarly Vallinam and Mellinam in Tamil follows.
The Tamil grammar/language is based on how Soul and Body interacts. Tamil: Uyir ezhuthukkal (soul letters) are natural sounds that Humans make. Examples...
ஆ Ha - when one gets pain
ஈ Ee - when one laughs
ஊ Uu - when one drops unexpectedly (whoops)
ஏ Hey - In anger or when one alerts (Hey! watch out)
ஐ ii - when one exclaims
ஓ Oo - when one understands (Oh oh! now I understand)
ஒள Ouu - when one fears of sudden pain (Ouch!)
These expressions are common to any Human irrespective of language or region. Because these are natural sounds from inside us out of natural expressions. That is why these sounds are called as Uyir (soul) in Tamil.
well said that's why it's called uyir mozhi while not a exaggeration in the word,the word is just the language of the soul (if u believe in soul, if not it's just the air you breathe in) every language has its merits,but so far i sensed it's literally a language which is medicine and life in itself.
Deeply explained. Being a TAMILAN, I understand more about my language now.
Wow, Finally we got Tamizh. Greetings from Tamil Nadu, India 🇮🇳. வணக்கம், மிக்க நன்றி. Thank you Julie for doing this. Keep doing on other languages also. And one more thing, the relation between Tamizh and Sanskrit is appreciable so that the Tamizh was Sanskritized by Brahmins and poets for enriching the literature for their purpose. Before that many literatures were written in Pure Tamizh too. After this it leads to loss of Tamizh words which have equivalent to Sanskrit one and later adopted it as a day to day conversion. Due to 'Tamil only movement' those Sanskrit words were removed from Tamizh but not to a great extent as you told at last minutes in this video. In other Dravidian languages like Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada & Tulu, Sanskrit influence was more. But anyway these dravidian languages represent the unique culture of India and we are so proud of that.
I wanna learn Tamizh please help me 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@bhashashikkhakendro Hi Brother, You can Tamizh by searching 'Tamizh learning for Beginners' in TH-cam. There is only limited source for Tamil Tutorial. You can basic sentences like greetings, numbers, question sentences, vocabulary and other basics.
@@vasanthakumar526 Ok ,
In my opinion the Tamizh language should be widely taught like foreign languages.
@@bhashashikkhakendro Yes Brother, due to language diversity of India. We have to give importance to other religional languages too. Your username indicate that your are a Bengali. Right?
@@vasanthakumar526 Yes bro I am a Bengali .
As one of the Tamilan I want to share this. Tamil is not only language for us, more than that, its our culture. "Thirukural" is highly ever translated non religious scripture in the world, which was actually written in Tamil by "Thiruvalluvar" and its not only that, it is the worldly accepted scripture too because of its ultimate selfless way of telling the people in the world how to live a happy life in a truth full and meaning full way in 1330 two line stanzas (kural), each 10 kural is classified into 133 sub headings and 133 sub headings classified into 3 main headings "MORALITY (aram), MEANING (porull), HAPPINESS (inbam)". Kindly note Thirukural is one of the examples, there are more than 1000+ scriptures in Tamil which are so pure and contains selfless contents which can be followed by everyone around the world. Our ancestors and poets always wants us to preserve this beautiful language because of its beautiful and rich content and called it Tamil culture since everyone would follow it and continue speaking this language which contains almost all the answers for our future queries. 3000 yrs back ago a Tamil poet wrote "yaadhum uure yavarun kalir" means "Where ever I go it is my place and everyone there are my kith and kin" this line was addressed by our late president "Dr. A. P. J. Abdhul Kalam" (who is also a Tamilan) in European Parliment. When government of India announces Hindi as official Language in India most of Tamil nadu school puts under into a pressure to teach Hindi despite of Tamil and then, Our people of Tamil Nadu and all around the world Tamil speakers showed how important this language to us(through peaceful protest). We Tamil people even have a temple for our language, which portraits a female goddess statue called our Tamil mother "Tamil thai". "Tamilukum amudhendru per", "Senthamilnadennum podhinile", this two songs were written by great poets of Tamil, later made into movie songs and albums still available in youtube, describes the love and beauty of Tamil. There is a Tamil Nadu state anthem "Tamil thai vaalthu", Tamil anthem "Semozhiyam Tamizh Mozhi". We Tamil people despite of religions or inter caste issue should be united and selfless like our beautiful Tamil language.
@Flight Simming I am from Tamil Nadu and there is no status like thiruvalluvar sitting under St Thomas. There was theory about Thiruvalluvar and St Thomas but it was unproven. Thiruvalluvar's birth is unknown and Thiruvalluvar is one and only man who wrote thirukural all by himself. Thirukural is pure Tamil scripture. We learned thirukural from our birth and we r pretty sure about Thiruvalluvar and Thirukural. Sorry to disappoint but u r so in wrong
This is fascinating. I was doing a Master's for Linguistics and I thought it was kind of useless but then again your video proves me wrong. I found your channel today, keep up the good work!
Tamil is world language, as it is one of the most ancient and living language of the world. வாழ்க தமிழ்! வளர்க தமிழ்!!
Mind blowing. I myself a Tamilian from Malaysia very impressed with your knowledge of Tamil language history. Great work, keep it up! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is beautiful. Tamil is also the only language which has alphabet for Letters of Weaponry and its represented by 3 dots.
Wats is that please
@@prantosarathy386 The letter is 'ஃ' - akh. It is known as 'Ayudha ezhuthu' means 'Weapon letter' and it is very rarely used in Tamizh words. There are lot more interesting things like this.
@@vasanthakumar526 thank you 😊
@@prantosarathy386 👍👍👍
@శ్రీ ధర్మం because tamil do not have any indo European influence so 😂 so it wil not have sanskrit phonetics lol 😂..
No need of kha, bha, jha all those artificial sounds
I am SO GLAD that I found your channel. I find this sort of thing goosebump inducing and even emotionally affecting. Language is, after all, the crux of who we are. You can't really understand a people until you understand at least part of their language. I took French in my U.S. college; not a long course, certainly not an immersive one, but I found myself thinking differently and mixing French in with my English. And with the Spanish I'd taken earlier. In fact, Spanish had the same effect on me. I am too old now probably to learn a lot of different languages, but I am determined to know some Russian and my people's native language, Irish Gaelic. Thank you for this channel. Always nice to discover a kindred spirit.
Love from Switzerland ❤️❤️❤️
The last part was actually not about purifying Tamil. It's a protest against language imposition.
@@descendedofrigvedicclans2216 English is not imposed on anyone. It is by far the most influential language in the world.
@@niranjan286 tell this to a chinese or Japanese or a German
@@Shivam-br5bk For your information, the Chinese, Germans and Japanese learn English as a second or third language.
@@niranjan286 madrasi. You have a Sanskrit name. Just like every other historical Tamil figure 😂😂
@@MrRahul6464 Having a name is easy, learning a language is not. Tamils have all kind of names including Arabic and English names. That doesn't mean that people should know Arabic.
Sadly the current Indian government doesn’t share your view of unity within plurality/ diversity, great job and enjoy your channel.
It shares plurality but only with hindus not others.
Hindutva for hindus doesn't matter the language
True. We should vote for the family that brought emergency and poverty.
For a second i thought I got to news channel when you showed us the sun news channel speakers speaking Tamil
Tamil is the oldest and i am a Tamil native thanks for telling about us 🙏🏻 i agree we have a rich culture and history deep behind
That was a beautiful summary dear sister. I request you to do a research on a big and richest landscape which existed below tamilnadu. It went in to sea. its name was "Kumari Kandam". As you mentioned 3 Sangams (gathering of great poets) happened. In those sangams there are lot of incriptions of "Kumari Kandam" landscape. If you dwell in to that your research will probably end there finding up hard evidences that tamil existed way long back than most of the exaggerators think. Politicians are not allowing to do research in that area.
"கல் தோன்றி மண் தோன்றாக் காலத்தே வாளோடு முன் தோன்றிய மூத்தக் குடி தமிழ் குடி"
Thanks for sharing, fascinating culture and language. Truly humble people 🙏🏽
Thanknu bro♥♥♥♥
Excellant video except for a minor correction but profound. Lord Shiva taught tamil through Agasthiyar to tamils to 'pottri katti kakka'. Rough translation to be proud, hail, embrace and protect the language. Lord Muruga gave wisdom to the tamils through Thamizh Vedam.
Nice research 👏🏼
Support from #Tamilnadu❤️👍🏽
Interesting detail on Dravida being actually Tamil in Samskrit.
And about voting a language on a next video:
*Phrygian* if extinct languages count.
@@perambu3441 taking note. Thanks.
Tamil is a beautiful language. It's glory is radiated across the world. It is an ancient language known for literature, Grammar, good letters, vocabulary, great culture, temples, custom, siddha herbal medicine, hospitality, friendly environment, respect for elders, good equality for both men and women, traditional festivals, great cuisine for all food lovers, great tourism, great spiritual siddhas from Tiruvannamalai and many places. God has directly showered the blessings to have a wonderful culture with a sense of great unity. Always Lord shiva will radiate positive vibes and burn any sort of negative energy. He is a great saviour for the entire Universe. Lord shiva himself contributed for the ancient Tamil. Therefore it is ever lasting glory for all. I hope many people like the ancient existing language. We South Indias ate generous and we also respect all languages of the world to have a peace and harmony. Olga Makal nalamayai Vazhalgha. I was born and brought up in bangalore however I speak Tamil at home. Many bangalore people speak good Tamil . We respect kannada as state language and we also honor Tamil. There are Tamil Mandrams in bangalore.
From the video, I can understand that Tamizh is rich in culture and history. God bless
Great video! I am an Tamil and I learnt a lot from this video. Thanks for making this video.
Thank you for this in depth video on the oldest classical language. Tamil Thevarams written during 6-8th century are true treasures! Beautiful compositions overflowing with love and devotion describing the rich landscape and animals. The tunes are built into the tamil words itself. Poetry and language blend together seamlessly. The literary work that is currently recovered is just a fraction of what was there and it is heart warming to see the renewed enthusiasm to rediscover what was once lost! The same Tamil being used today as was in the Sangam Times 6th Century. The continuity and viability of the language to serve so well even in 2022!

I'm Very proud to say that my mother tongue is TAMIL 💥
Very illuminating. As a person of some Tamil background but highly uneducated on the subject (I can only speak a rough version of the street / informal language and can not read or write Tamil. I therefore have more confidence in your research based theories than those who take a more blinkered view.
There are some jingoistic comments being made here; Tamils tend to be very passionate about land, language, culture etc. much like the Spanish and French.
Keep up the good work!
வாழ்த்துகள் இந்த பதிவிற்காக.
Iam from Kerala (Malayalam)
Tamil is the most poetic language i have seen. Other one is Urdu.
You are worng. Its Telugu the most poetic language. Telugu was always chosen for carnatic music or by any southern poets for poetry
@@ravinunna1168lol 😂 telugu is only poetic for yourself not for everyone lol ..you fool.. Every one has their own choice and perception as a malayali I found tamil is more poetic language 😂 despite knowing 8 language I am owe of tamil.. Keep your perception to yourself.. Insecurity lol 😂
@శ్రీ ధర్మం rubbish lol 😂.. Kannada also has vowel sound ending.??which means what kannada is not a poetic language?? 🤔.. Simply bluffing ass out of insecurity..
First of all krishandevaraya amukthamalyatha itself a controversy lol 😂 kannada historians claims that it was written by some telugu poets to boast telugu... First address that..there is no epigraphical evidence so far for this hoax..
And secondly tamil poet bharathi complimented all South indian languages not only telugu 😂..
Sundara telugu
Kavinmighu malayalam
Kasturi kannada.
Tamil amuthu..
Here sundara means beautiful...
Amuthu means honey
Simply boasting telugu irrelevantly rubbish..

Kudos to your efforts! 👏👏👏
I'm a tamilian person. Your Pronounciation was Good🤗.
The Tamil language is rich in grammar, and its culture and civilization are one of the oldest, We Thamizh people consider our language and culture equal to our soul. To quote the 20th-century poet Bharathidasan, Thamizh is also called amruth (Elixir, the nectar that gets immortality)
That thamizh, lovable, sweet, (comfort giving) thamizh is right next to our life in priority. Thamizh is the water that nurtures the growth of our society, it is the cornerstone of our lives, Tamil is the root that holds together our rights, Tamil is the sky that facilitates our ascent, Tamil is the shoulder that supports our intellect, Tamil is the mother of our birth.
The translation is to an extent only correct, With the translation, one cannot bring the correct poetic expression of what the poet whats to convey unless you know the language and have the feel of it.
