If you dont love and respect your mother tongue, irrespective of what kind of language it is then its not normal behaviour. If you have been to other countries you can feel it. Vist Thailand form the airport to university to the United Nations office, ever Thai speaks only in Thai. Same way in France or Morocco. Your first word, your first thought, your first lesson, these hold so much importance and value. There cannot be an argument if the language is good or not its your mother tongue. You except all 75 million Tamilains to shift to another language you consider beautiful like Latin or Greek? Don’t u think it is a bit ridiculous . I dint say Tamil is not beautiful. If you know the language well you can understand the beauty. We don’t expect others to get through in another language. But please don’t criticise. Even if you do we can just consider it as “Suriyani paarthu naai kukalithathu pool’(Dog barking at the Sun).

Tamil was probably the first language to have Grammar and syntax. English is only less than 2000 years old.
Other Indo European languages are also new languages.
Tamil has ancient and new Literatures. Tamil has a tradition.

Hello Mr.Bhaskar,
What you know about tamil.It is the language which gave birth to dravidian languages like telugu ,kannada,malayalam.Every language has its own restrictions and specialities.Even your much touted english has lot of things like this.This i didnt say, the most famous english writer Bernard sha said this.Every language was created by people to express their own culture and practices.So you cannot expect every language to be same.This i would have typed in tamil but poor soul like you cannot understand that.If you have no job please keep quiet and dont start any topic like this .

Bhaskar,
I donot understand what you mean by a language being "worth for human existence". If you can give us an example for a "truly spoken language", and tell me/us why you consider it so, I/we will be able proceed to a meaningful discussion.
Only sound based? Are you saying that Tamil has a poor written form? I mean, you must have heard of the all these scriptual letters being adopted with custom changes by most of the other dravidian languages, the Tamil grammatical form for written poetry being stricter (for rhythm) than the English pentameter and sonnet, etc etc.

Thanks Mr. kathir. Mr. Arul, I appreciate, thatyou brought-out something of BernardShaw. Now, I will ask you a question. If anybody, who lives abroad with whites or with different race, agree to persuade his/her respect on the dravidian tradition, that, the follwers of his/her ideas which may have come from his/her religious tradition by their wearing their marriage unity with a sacred thirumaangalyam? - irrespetive of whether/not he(she) is an American lawer or an European prince(ss)? Display! Only then I will agree!!
Mr. Spaceman, You know what Avvaiyar said? Aridhu aridhu maanidaraaip piraththal aridhu. There is one more point borrowed from Sanskrit - which is also a old language - Uththamam suyaarjidham, madhyamma pithuraarjitham and adhamam sevahaarjitham (self earning is the most superior - living with ancestoral property is mediocre and sevakam is most inferior! and, you are not able to prove yourself by these words, I feel I don't agree I keep myself worhty of my existence. Sorry I got to go; bye.

My gosh, what a load of crap, if I may be permitted to honour it so. Till "you a question" made sense, but thenceforth, it seem to have no continuity whatsoever, with itself or with the previous discussion. I actually was wondering if you had mistakenly posted here what was targeted for a different thread, but the names say it belongs here.
Can you be clear in what you want to say, please?

em? Even I am confused because of various reasons. still I have never got a way out than to say that, Tamil appears to be hazy to me. What sense it sounds you all guys, I must apologise, I hurt you all by this thread. Honestly I had no such intentions here. Most of those who work on the web have a reasonably a good vision of the world and therefore may not complicate much. Any way I am sort of straightened-up with my regular work. I will say further if you would be more specific.
- From: spaceman spiff (@ proxyle01.ext.ti.com)
on: Wed Mar 20 11:20:02
Oh, *I* should be more specific? I'll try.
I want to know:
1. What do you mean by a language that is "worth for human existence"? After your last posting, I'm obliged to add, do you mean anything by that at all?
2. You said: "Tamil is only sound based and it has no solid base as such". By that statement, do you opine that (a) the written form of Tamil is not sufficiently effective (b) the grammar for written Tamil is inadequate (c) there is not much richness in written Tamil litreature (d) Other. I'm prepared to refute a,b,c . Please explain clearly your argument if you choose d.
3. You said: "Tamil appears to be hazy to me".
Please meditate on why it appears so and tell us.
Kindly refrain from posting crap.

spaceman spiff:
First of all, do not use, sentences like "Kindly refrain from posting crap"
If you have done any contribution for the language Tamil, then, you may assume privilege to make further postings on this thread. Otherwise kindly Shut Up.
Please first, list your contributions and I will consider your statement otherwise don't expect me to answer you. Don't unnecessarily argue on what *I* have done for the same Tamil etc.. Because, it was I who started this thread and not *U*. I'll simply ignore your hypocracy on Tamil. *U* also mentioned, "Please meditate on why it appears so and tell us" So, *U* sounds plural too. Please mention who else is with you! If you speak the truth, then things may get unfolded slowly.

"Kindly refrain from posting crap" seems to be a perfectly valid and apt line to use here. Justify if you argue otherwise.
Why on earth should I have contributed to Tamil to refute your claim that Tamil does not have a solid base?
Please keep in mind that personal afflictions are a non-issue here. If you want discuss about the "solid"ity of Tamil's base (?!), we can go ahead and discuss. If you want to have a look at my/our contributions to Tamil, please open a new thread - it doesn't seem relevant here.
Do you have any arguments at all for your claims that
1. Tamil is not a truly a spoken language
2. Tamil is only sound based and it has no solid base as such.
More basically, do you claim these?
- From: Bhaskar V (@ 210.214.178.45)
on: Mon Mar 25 08:48:41
Yes! You hold the rights! Refute! You too seem to sound meaningless! Personal afflictions? on what? You seem to be very confused. Rest of the statements you/*U* have made, are not relevant to my topic either.
No; I don't claim that, Tamil is not a truly a spoken language etc.. If you have assumed that way then, I think, probably you're misled. Take it easy. I have absolutely nothing under my possession or to do claim any thing here. It is my opinion.

Oh, you just OPINED, eh, for no real reason? You're amazing.
Prejudice: An adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge. - www.m-w.com
You have no doubt reached new heights of etiquette by admitting so early in the course of the conversation that it was all just an arbit opinion of yours, which you don't want to reason why, and abstaining from wasting a lot of time of anybody who wanted to discuss it's validity with you, and, of course, abstaining from behaving any more rudely to people than you have.

Is Bhaskar.V true?
And if he can even write in English, could he still be true?
If he had a brain, could he still be true?
If his brain is dead, could he be false?
Or does the truth in Bhaskar lie in his brain dead non-existent self?
Did I say the truth in Bhaskar lies?
This is getting too complicated. I am out of here.

"Abstaining from any more ... " - Bad command or file name.
Ironically, I think, the Spaceman's(spiff?) phenomenon looks like a recursive phenomenon. I can ignore it. How to answer this new wave below?
Madurai Veera(ppa)n!
As long as Madurai veeran is Not false, Bhaskar is true :-)!
Mr. Madurai veeran, why did you leave two line space between your message?
I have no thought for today. They are dead.

Did you know that waves are recursive in nature?
Anything that feeds on itself is bound to reach the critical point - it may either explode or implode.
Something that feeds on ignorance is bound to reach the same fate.
If only Ackerman knew about Lyapanov, he would have never ventured to cook up his function.
If the probability function of Bhaskar's truth is conditionally dependent on Madurai Veeran's negated falsehood, how could one really claim that Bhaskar is TRUE?
My head is spinning. Why did I get into this?
