RE:Thamil Eelam Independence=Kosovo by United Nations
by Neo Intellectual on Apr 15, 2008 11:57 AM

how is all this tamil eelam thing related to the article?? Anyway i chose to post this bcoz I found the name you used "Pirapaharan" very funny to say the least.
It is supposed to be "Prabhakaran"!!!!
Lemme guess how the name degenerated to "Pirapaharan" :
1. Prabhakaran becomes Pirabhakaran as in Tamil, you can not write as you pronounce "pra", it is written as "pira".
2.Pirabhakaran becomes Pirabakaran as (I think) there is no difference in Tamil between "bha" and "ba"
3. this is where it begins to become funny, Pirabakaran becomes Pirapakaran as in Tamil, the consonants representing "pa" and "ba" are same!
4.This is the funniest part, as to how Pirapakaran becomes Pirapaharan! Lemme guess, again in tamil, the consonant for "ha" and "ga" are same, that's why you see Tamilians (mis)pronouncing "Mahesh" as "Magesh". And incidentally, (I think) the consonants for "ga" and "ka" are also the same! so transitively "Pirapakaran" becomes "Pirapaharan".

That's the story of how Prabhakaran became Pirapaharan
What a language!!!

PS : Now did I hear somebody accusing me being an Aryan!?
