Thamil is Tamil, Thamilnadu is Tamilnadu
by Hari on Apr 03, 2008 08:05 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

T"h"amil is Tamil, T"h"amilnadu is Tamilnadu. There is no "h" here.

See the paradox from the beginning. But when it comes to names, it is not "ta", but "tha".

When I asked a Tamil (or Thamil), he was telling we have invented English!

phonetics differ from language to language. English man will call you harry, not hari.

It is is not phonetics.

It is the spelling.

As I said the whole state is contradictory and paradoxical.
