all Truth summarised abt Tamil n sanskrit

[Oldposts]

Thiru. Inian, It is amazing that you agree and accept what Arijar. Annathurai said. I have encountered some Thamizhans of TN who have said, "TN is just a state like others and hindi is the official language of India." It is pathetic! I don't know if those people are from TN, but if they were, they are senlsess or brainwashed or didn't think of it as a big deal for some weird reason. Lot of Thamizhans seem to give up on important things, they seem to agitate against things that which need no agitation at all. The important things like hindi dominion in TN, the killing of Thamizh Nadu Fishermans are like truth behind the screen! I mean if whole TN agitate against this, are they going to arrest the whole Thamizh Nadu Thamizhans? What are we? Defendless?

//Most of my north indian friends believes that if someone dont know hindi , then they are not indians. .//
You should listen to what a Gujuarati told me, "They speak Hindi in Thamizh Nadu" as in Hindi is the first offical language! Although he was wrong, hindi is official in TN government offices. Not to mention English along with Hindi. It is very confusing to be a Thamizhan and see your language and communitry trapped in some blackhole. Most of our population although is 'religious' it does not worry to gain the linguistic understandings nor to learn well about their own culture. I mean who is going to do that if there is no country and your language has no worth even in its own soil! Thamizh is presented as something burden to learn even in TN; The home of Thamizh and Thamizhars. Can you believe that in Toronto, Canada they accepted Thamizh as a credit course in Highschool to enter the Universities before Thamizh course was accepted as one of the course in the TN private schools. They accept Thamizh in an 'English' country b4 it is accepted in the Thamizh soil, very sad. The thing about Thamizh being adopted into foreign countries and given less right in Thamizh soil is that, people will learn 'Tamil' not 'Thamizh'.

this is just a thought. english should be made indian states link and hence national language. Just think about it. This will terminate the untolerable impossition of hindi on states like tamilnadu which has nothing in common to hindi. This will help people of other states especially people of tamilnadu to enter into the national government cadre level. I am talking about ordinary tamilians living far away into the country. This will open them not only to delhi but to the world and will let us have our language. so called cbse's will also have to learn tamil in tamilnadu. any other language can be learnt on their own will. And to the so called tamilians whose mother tongue is tamil and ridicule tamil just read about tamil from scholars who have done good their research and yet to be translated works fron archaic tamil that still exists. These people who ridicule their mother language are doing the same thing as seeing their own mother die even though they are able to save her and a mother who has managed to exist till this day from recorded history against a lot of odds.

siva , thank u very much......

other south indian people than thaamizhians saying that hindi is the national language.........
they're ready to forget their mother tongue .......
not only that....everyone thinking that tamizhians are fool....and so on..
i studied malayalam and came to know that it'z mixed up of tamil and sanskrit....
but they're not accepting... everybody giving importance to pronunciation of letters...
bcoz, they have pa, ba, bha.., like ta, da, dha, tha and so on...
but we tamizh won't hav this much difference........but we have very good vocabulary .......


thanks .

Friends,

Brahmi was mother of writing of all Languages in India.

Any Serious research with knowledge of Tamil/Prakrit/Sanskrit Vowles will clearly tell us that Brahmi was writing system developed for Sanskrit and adopted by all INdian Languages.

Why are there so many writings in India? When was each writing system in India developed and by whom? Do you have records to say who developed each system (except Malayalam) and how each letter of each writing system was formed or developed?

How do you come to the conclusion that Brahmi was developed for Sanskrit? So, prior to that Sans did not have any writing system? Were the Vedas composed before or after the writing system was invented? Did you find any record or stone inscription to say that Brahmi was developed for Sanskrit?

Please clarify and we shall discuss further.

Tamil is infact the cradle of indic tongue

It is just not the mother of Dravidan language but a language which was spoken throughout the whole of India during the period of Indus Valley and even tens of centuries beofre the Indus Valley.

The Lemuria or Kumari Kandam is a good support for this say which is why Historian belief , even Sumerian lnguage is known to be Archaic Tamil.

Tamil language is just not what it seem in the present day India or Tamil Nadu.
It is way much more than that.
Sanskrit on the other hand came from nowhere, no doubt Sanskrit is old, it is not the oldest language.

If the age of Tamil and Sanskrit were to be compared
(Tamil)9000bc - 1500bc(Sanskrit)

The difference is 7500,
no where to be compard with the richness of Tamil language

Copy pasting below from the first posting:

Tamil is the oldest of all Indian languages and also the oldest living language in the world.

This is a tall claim. Languages like Greek, Hebrew have older literary tradition than Tamil. These are still living languages. No body can say which is the oldest language in the world.
