To all Tamilians in this forum, Can you write and pronounce parota or padmanabhan correctly? If you can do that, I would accept Tamil is a gr8 gr8 language. If not.......

Mr, there's no need for any tamilian to pronounce non-tamil words accurately. Parotta is not sanskrit, like you and your family believes, it's an arabic import. Can you pronounce "Tamizh" properly in any language in the world other than Tamizh and Malayalam? So, shut up and get a life..

Jst a doubt...have u kept most of ur letters in bank locker or what. U write Baba as Papa, bulb as pulp, Krishna as Kirusna, Bharat as Barat, Jayalalita as chayalalita, Swamy as chami, air deccan as air thekkan.....But on the positive side, it was easy to learn how to read Tamil, for the sake of reading bus boards.

Even with all these restricted amount of letters Taamil far richer than Hindi or any other Indian language, The only Indian language that it can be compared to is Sanskrit. English has only 26 letters but that did not stop it from becomiong a world language . Tamil has its own strict rules on how certain sounds and words have to be spelled, especially of Non Tamil origin. So stop being silly and childish. Tamil is the oldset living Indian language therefore Tamils and Tamil have more right to India and than HIndi and al the other languages which evolved much later.
