from sangam to millenium, barathi to vairamuthu end to end there are folks working into tamil languange and literature. most of the time, their efforts which fruited from pure passion and great sense of knowledge just a time pass or mere hokum. most people forget their mother tongue and fails to treasure it. tamizh especially.
athu yennathu-nu teriyale, palarukku tamil-na avalo elakkaaram.
most people of my age and a certain oldies do not look into Tamizh as a 5000 years well-kept treasure (we may need to consider using the word "well-kept" here!) . from a different angle, Tamizh seems to be a true Indiana Jones mystery with least leftover Sanggam treasures and freelance Tamizh enthusiasts sprouting every now and then. what is the beauty that this language possess? im not sure, but if a language can survive more than 5000 years, it must have some magic in it.
"ennada ivanunggey.. tamil-u pattru punnakku podalangga-nu tensen tensen!"
if my blog post entitled as "Tamizh" or "My mother tongue", there would be tonnes of decent-modern Tamilians to trivially skip the 'lecture'. it will be even more saddening if i put the post title in Tamizh as in : தமிழ் or தாய்மொழி. hard to find another language with extreme knowledge and exposure on spirituality, arts, drama, music, general knowledge and way of conduct for elongated period of thousands of years.
tamizhanaagiyum tamizh ariyaathathu, karum vizhi, azhagiya ithazh, kuurana muukku illatha vathanam polave!தமிழனாயினும் தமிழ் தெரியாதது, கரும் விழி, அழகிய இதழ், கூரிய மூக்கு இல்லாத வதனம் போலவே!
Tamizh names, greeting others in Tamizh, culture of saying 'Vanakkam', manners of talking, and so much more slowly deteriorating from our homepage. slowly being tarnished and hence leaving us with questions about our own language. sense of belonging is no more for most of us. just like a looking at a pretty face with no eyes, mouth and nose.. no identity.
what it repay us if we show extra passion on our identity? what does it take to show little emotion to our majestically renowned Tamizh? what does it take to make Tamilians deeply care for Tamizh?
ps. : im not well-literate in Tamizh, so please correct/excuse me for any mistake in usage of Tamizh letters
yenggal vaazhvum, yenggal valamum, manggaatha tamizh yendru sanggey muzhanggu!
எங்கள் வாழ்வும், எங்கள் வளமும், மங்காத தமிழ் என்று சங்கே முழங்கு
