RE: Extinction of Mother Tongues: Which category do you belong to?
My mother tongue is Tamil but as we are living in Kerala, it is now a crazy mix of Malayalam and Tamil. Neither here nor there- a situation like Trishanku
Haha...But my situation is exactly thrisanku as we deal with 3 different languages.. A unknown language similar to Telugu at home, Malayalam with neighbours and friends and Tamil when we visit Tamil people living here and Tamilnadu! But out of this all, I like Tamil the most as it is one of the oldest languages in the world itself. I love the Tamil accent of Sri Lankan people the most.
இலங்கையில் வாழும் எம்மின மக்களை நேரில் சந்திக்க வேண்டுமென்பது என் நெடுநாள் ஆசை!
hope your desire is fulfilled
Srilankan Tamil is said to be the real Tamil. Even my Chennai friends privately agreed this. 😂
Even Sri Lankan Tamil is not that pure. I have known many refugees who came to India during the war time. I like their Tamil accent the most!
