why you wish to prove the tamil language is the greatest and divine language?

Question

if so, what will be the answer to the following ?

1: Why is archana done in Sanskrit in Tamilndadu? Why are Mantra read in Sanskrit in Tamilnadu?

2: What religious book is older than Rega veda?

3: Why is Tamil Ramayan copied from Valmiki Ramayana that is in Sanskrit?

4: Other than mythological evidences such as religious Sangam, what other claims do you have to prove that Tamil is older than Sanskrit?

5 What percent of ancient Tamil is remaining in the present form of Tamil?

6 What are you trying to prove and gain after this argument?

7 Can you provide the time till when you can go back with the existence of Tamil with scintific evidence not mythological evidences? Mythological evidences are not proven but only based on individual blieves, like what language did Hanuam used while talking to Mother Sita, differs from the perception of North Indians to South Indian can never be proved. The only thing that can be proved is scietific evidences.

These questions are not to prove that Sanskrit is superior that Tamil but to exlain that no language is superior to another.

The above are the questions put forth my respectful friend '' pranam '' as an answer to the shri shivam's question about God's language. i find that there is a meaning in his argument. Now, how will you answer him very decently, since his answer while raising these questions are very decent and in civilized manner.

Answer 1

I don't wish to prove Tamil is greatest and divine to anyone. Proof is only required for matters with doubt. I don't have any such doubts about Tamil. But I will try and answer your questions:



1). Ancient scholars knew Sanskrit dooms day ahead of time and portrayed that God can be reached only through Sanskrit Mantras and secured that job for generations. You can request Tamil prayers in many temples in TN, let me make one thing clear God only answers to the unconditional love of heart. Not by just saying, I love God dialogue. There is tons of difference between Love and Unconditional Love.



2). I think Brahmi script is older than Rig Veda. Tholkapiyam is considered to be older, again no proof.



3). Because the Tamil language and culture easily adopted and opened it doors for other traditions without resistance.



4). Tamil scriptures were widely found in ancient Egypt and Mayan civilization. South-Indian measure/rule (Kishku yardstick approx. 33 inch) was used mainly in the Peruvian region of Kushku.

Tamil culture built Indus-Valley civilization, later pushed southward by invading Aryans and along came Sanskrit. One of the 18 Tamil siddha, Roma Rishi was from Rome. Bogar travelled to S. America through sky and he was widely referred as Bocha in legends of Incas, Aztecs and Mayans.



5). May be 10-25% (this is just my guess).



6). Nothing!



7). Tamil tradition holds the earliest Sangam poetry to be over twelve millennium old. There is no scientific evidence because of lack of Archaeological activities in our country. Tamil language is primary dravidian language and Lord Shiva was the primary deity of their tradition. Lord Shiva brought the divine Yoga tradition to this planet. 18 Tamil siddhas practiced the same tradition and some were well known Alchemist.

Answer 2

A language is considered alive only when it has changed in time and should be spoken as a mother tongue till date by a lakh people. If not it is considered as extinct or endangered.



Tell me how many of them have sanskrit as a mother tongue. Sanskrit archanas or slogas and rig veda are all passed on through oral tradition. Dating of oral tradition is highly impossible. I have due respect for sanskrit as a language which was spoken and understand by the elites like business people of whole of Asia. But it was never a language of masses.



Rig veda has many loan words of dravidian origin and many words are not sanskrit and dravidian.



A story can be copied and written in many language. That s the merit of the story. If Ramayana was not copied in other languages then it does not have merit. Same goes to thirukkural which is the third most translated literature.



Do not fight who is great. Both are the greatest languages of our country.



Last but not the least, Mother tongue is superior than any language. A mother is always a mother. Tamil is the best for tmilians and kannada is for kannadigas. I love my mother and my mother tongue.

Answer 3

First of all Mm Mathani must understand one thing.

Prior to so called invasions from NW India and central Asia the olden Tamil Kingdom was spread over four category of lands known as [1] Kurinji [2] Mullai [3] Marutham [4] Neiythal. That is why ancient Tamil lands were known as 'Nanilam'.

[ If, in any one of these lands there was NO RAIN for a considerable period of time, then that land will become Palai.]

Ancient Tamil Gods

The Chieftain of Kurinji land is called Lord Sayon, who is NOT an ARYAN God and all religious rituals like (a) Kavadi Attam (2) Verriyattu were done in accordance with Tamil culture and NO SANKSRIT ARCANA was involved. Similarly, the God of Mullai is Mal, and Vendan [Indiran=Rain God] for Marutham and Varunan[Wind God] for Neiyathal and Kotravai for Palai. There were no mention about sanskrit or veda rituals on those deities. They prayed God with flowers.

However later the Aryan invasion was so powerful that these deities were converted into Aryan Gods as Thirumal, Indiran etc. Thus Sanskrit and veda rituals entered into Tamil land.

Moreover Sanskrit was a language which was mostly listened [SRUTHI]. Recital is much more important. The language is NOT spoken widely in this Great country. Hence it became a dead language status.There is one saying in Tamil : If you want to destroy a culture, then destroy first its language.

Even to day, in villages of Tamil nadu, village deities are [seru theivankal] worshiped according to Tamil traditions and values. No Sanskrit slogan were recited. Even Tamil Nadu Government is professing the use of Tamil as religious language in famous temples at Chidambaram etc.

Since Tamil is having language superiority it was not adulterated by other languages including Sanskrit. [Alas! but now English is cutting the gross roots of Tamils]

Mm Madangi sitting in the comfort of city is questing Tamil superiority. Go to village where Tamil only is spoken. Even now also eloquent Tamil words are used in villages.

[ANGANAM, PAKADAI [not PAVADAI], VERRIYATTU, THAVUN, YENDAL, PAKKAM, KADALKOL etc]

Tholkappium is said to be the oldest book even prior to Vedas. This may go beyond 5000 BC.

By this argument I try to establish the superiority of Tamil over other languages. I beg to state that I do not want to impose my language on any body. But I wish my own Tamilians to safe guard Tamil.

Answer 4

If you want a scientific evidence and not a mythological evidence, why are you even talking about Ramayanam and Hanuman What scientific proof is there that Ramayanam even happpened. What scientific proof is there that there was an army of apes that fought against an army of men What scientific proof is there that a mokey can fly (hanuman) What Scientific proof is there that Rama built a bridge to get to Sri Lanka (There is a structure accepted, but there is no proof that it was man made nor is it a floating structure as depicted in your ramayanam. it is a land mass engulfed by water just like dhanushkodi was, no one build it) I dont see the point in trying to talk scientific sense into someone who claims a monkey (Hanuman, i dint call him a monkey, u, ur religion and the book u preach does) flew across continents and then spoke to a women and then burnt a whole city on its way back

Answer 5

Imagine a ship that sailed out from a harbour, after a few days the sail wore out and was changed, later the cabins started rotting and were altered too, in this manner within a year every single part of the ship from the nails to the hull were changed; would you call the ship that reached the shore the same ship as the one which set sail a year ago?

That same question applies to Tamil. The Tamil spoken today is so different from that spoken in ancient times that it wouldn't make sense to call both of them the same language; rather the language back then was a 'parent language' from which the modern dialects of Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada gradually branched away. Linguists have named this parent language 'Proto Dravidian' and linguistic reconstruction has placed the age of Proto Dravidian to be a little over 5000 years (back to 3000BC).

It simply doesn't make sense to label the Proto-Dravidian parent language as 'Tamil'; if we were to follow that logic, then even Hindi can be traced back via Prakrit and Sanskrit on to Proto Indo-Iranian and then to Proto Indo European, which was the parent language of all modern Indo-European languages like English, German, Italian, Russian, Farsi, Hindi and Bengali; and was spoken in central Asia around 4000BC.

So guess what, by the Tamils' own logic, *Hindi* is older than Tamil!

One can't rely on mythology for any evidence, mythology is plain guesswork and blind belief; there's no historical proof for the Ramayana or Mahabharata.

@Kumar The Rig Vedas were transmitted via an oral tradition several years before they were written down with the Brahmi script.

Answer 6

I am neither a Tamil nor a Hindi speaker.



1. All prayers are done in Sanskrit in the temple because it has become traditional. Sanskrit was the most common language when all ancient scripts were written at that time. So right from that time, every religious ceremony is done in Sanskrit. But God understands all language. You can ask for something in Arabian too. He won't let you down if your heart is pure.



2. There is no "scientific proof" of any article older than "Rig Veda". Even the vedas were known and narrated by people before it was written because writing system was not developed. When people learnt to wrote anything they created written Vedas.



3. Not only Tamil, Valmiki Ramayan has been translated to various languages so that Shri Raam's ideology reaches to all people who speaks other languages.



4/5/6. Sorry I have no answer for these question.



7. I want to say that Tamil or Sanskrit are not the oldest language. Who knows what language was there before its inception.

And for Aryan invasion theory, its a hypothesis given by British people as a part of "Divide and Rule Policy"



Skin colour of a person is due to environmental factor. Due to influence of sun the black pigment called melanin in human skin increases to protect us from cancer. This is called darkening of skin. If some people of Tamil speaking were present in Indus valley in Kashmir which is a cold place then why their skin has become dark? Why Kamal Hasan a born Tamil has light skin whereas Rajnikanth a Maharashtrian by birth has dark skin? This is just because kamal Hasan avoided sun whereas Rajni hasn't.



The recent scientific finding has shown India is birthplace of all Asian races including the chinese people.

http://www.financialexpress.com/news/india-is-the-source-of-genetic-diversity-study/553371/



The first Human being originated in African continent. But not all human beings in the world are black. Are they? And then Human race moved to other continent. Based on climatic factor people of South Asia particulary south India are slightly dark in colour. And people of north region which is cold have slightly light skin but not as white as the European where the climate is extremely cold.

Answer 7

It is myth that tamil is the greatest and divine language.but it is true it is the oldest language still existing.There is no Scientific evidence to prove that tamil is divine or greatest.I do not know the exact per cent age of ancient tamil living as tamil but i believe there are tamils all over the world.Whether sanskrit is superior than tamil or not i do not know but Sanskrit is not Dravidian but aryan language.to me the oldest religious book is the bible of old testament of the jews.

Answer 8

north indian destroyed recent proof of tamil language,,that is 3000 year old tamil Brahmi script found in ADHICHANALLUR village of tirunelveli district tamilnadu. where archaeologist found many urns,irons,rice,pottery.

nearly 200 pottery has tamil script which is carbon dated as 3000 year old.



and scientist also found carbon dating of tolkappiyam is 5000bc,because that time only 2nd tamil sangam was held. were tolkappiyam is written in 2nd tamil sangam. that to tolkappiyam is an grammar book for tamil.



friends please read about the ADHICHANALLUR , because you will find many things about tamil.



Indian government banned this site for research. because it has answer for all north indian to know, who are tamilians

Answer 9

Every language is given by God who gave us the wisdom to found the languages. But Tamils have lot of reasons to think that their language is Divine on par with Samskrit or others.



The great compositions of Thevaaram and Thiru Marais of Saivism are in Tamil Lord Siva himself appeared as Poet in Pandya's court to defend Tharumi. Lord Muruga is acclaimed as Tamill Deity and He made saints like Arunagiri sing divine compositions on the touch of his sharp Vel (spear) on the tongue.



The wealth of Vaishnavite Prapanda verses, the songs of Sidhas galore in Tamil, etc all make us think that this is great divine blessed language. I request you not to take it as linguistic bigotry but to be reverential to the age old belief. It does not mean Telugu, with its rich songs of Thyagaiya or Annamaiya, or Kannada with the great stirring songs of Purandar das, or Marathi with its famous Abangas or Malayalam with the famous Ramayan by Eluthachan etc are not holy. Every language and every sound, every Akshara is Goddess in Sabda Roopa.



Better not stir any emotion through questions that may unleash conflict among us. We have enough politicians to do that job. You are a great contributor and we look for positive things from you madam.

Answer 10

I just dont want to prove but I like to spread the sweetness of Tamil language to everyone. Also, I m open to learn all languages. But, my aim is just to help the people to understand the divinity and sweetness of Tamil language to everyone. I NEVER LIKE TO IMPOSE MY LANGUAGE TO ANYONE. I just like to share my language to everyone. I feel the sweetness of HONEY in Tamil. I HAVE LOT OF EVIDENTS AND HISTORY ABOUT MY LANGUAGE. So I feel Proud of it. It doesnt mean I m against other languages. Lot of INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS AND ARCHAEOLOGIST APPROVED THAT TAMIL IS THE OLDEST Language. So, I dont care about emotional answers from other languages people. But I love all the languages in the world. Also, I dont want to compare a living language with a Dead language. Tamil is not only in India but also in Malaysia, singapore, southafrica,etc, etc. Also, japanese language have the roots of Tamil language and it is proved. VALMIKI-just copied the kambar RAMAYANAM. To prove this fact, I hope everyone knows the Past of valmiki. Also, Ramayanam was happened in Rameshwaram, sri lanka. So, How could a Valmiki able to write a epic originally which was happened in south india.Ok, The COLOUR OF DRAVIDIANS are black. Colour of LORD KRISHNA AND RAMA also black. Then, how comes that they are not belongs to DRAVIDIAN where as the colour of ARYANS are white or atleast not so black like Dravidians.

HINDI dont even have own script and it just copied the script of Sanskrit. So, Hindi is a child infront of Tamil and sanskrit. So, there is no logic to introduce Hindi in this arguement. Every language in this world gets changing day by day. The Tamil which was spoken during ancient period have some changes with present Tamil but the literature remains same. 'Iratai kilavi', pagupatham, pagaapatham, iruketta ethir marai peyaretcham, ani, ena literatre rules remains same even after many thousand years. Also, there is no much difference between the older tamil and present tamil. In olden tamil, Neevir as represented as ningal in present tamil. Nambikai,karpu, natpu,kalvi, karunai,etc.etc are the same words which were/are used in both ancient/present Tamil. A language could be standardised by its literature and not by its words. So, comparing Hindi with Tamil shows the innocence of the answerer.

EDIT:

@PRANAM: If you say, that if We people say that the Tamil is the greatest language could be the insult to other languages, then how dare you could say that Hindi is the most important language? Is it not mean that you are trying to insult other languages in India. If whatever we say, simply you are saying that as 'MYTH' even though if it is approved by International organisations and archaeologst . But, you could say, the Rigveda is older than all. What a blanced answer!. At What ELIGIBLITY YOU ARE SAYING THAT THE TAMIL IS A DEAD LANGUAGE AND IT IS NOT WE USED DURING ANCIENT TIMES?. Just try to know certain things before you posting. THE LANGUAGE IS STANDARDISED BY ITS SCRIPT. THE Tamil have its own script and literature. The Rules never gets change. The words may gets change as day by day but the Literature remains same. We have our own living literatures and we are still using it. SANSKRIT is a dead language which is not announced by me but by International language organisations. We never said, Chennai Tamil is the original tamil whereas chennai Tamil is just a fusion of english,tamil,hindi. We have our own reginal syllab in all the areas and no need to prove.

EDIT: friend, you misunderstood me. I JUST EXPLAINED MY FACTS and I m not fighting with you.

Ok just for you, I take back my comments.

Answer 11

There can be so many secrets destroyed with Kumari Kandam

Answer 12

Actually I think the base of the question you asked is that some people think their "mother tongue" is far superior than others. It is natural.

But it is too much to think that ""kumaonauvi""(language mainly of Uttranchal), Haryanvi(language of Haryana), Naga(language of Nagaland) and some more (212 languages,may be more in count) that are now spoken in India, have no ""SCRIPT"" and remain only in ""SPOKEN"" limit are superior to Tamil and Sankrut.

Good morning rani....again Tamil ??????.

Answer 14

Hello all,



I wish to add many points here which most of the people donot now iam feel very sorry that the history is hidden and today's youngsters are ignorant of the real thing that happened. This is true and my father is working as a head of tamil soceity for more than 15 years so i will share with you all the details which i know.



Initially in the world tamil is the oldest language which was born lived and living today.Please excuse me iam not here to hurt anyone but to express the real thing.Tamilians were good at all things like architecture,painting,grammer,travelling to other countries etc etc.Example:



In astronomy they were good: You can look at the navagrahas and the color of the cloth they wear for the gods . For saneeshwasran it is 'BLACK' which our tamilians found thousands of years ago which scientists sent a satellite or some thing to find that the colour of saturn is black.



In Mathematics: In engish only we can pronounce the numbers like billion, trillion .... then what for the numbers beyond that we have please refer to the below link . For numbers more than 1 followed by 20 zeros we have the word.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_numerals



Architecture : One simple example "Brigadeshwara temple" at thanjavur is the best example. There are many architectures build around the world. But could anyone challenge me to give a paint which will last for 1000 years from now among hundreds of rains,and crossed many summers ,winter it stands great.Now adays the modern technologies any paint creating company can they bet to give such a paint. We tamilians created thousands of years ago.



In literature,grammer,etc: Thirukural which is accepted all over the world like everything about how a normal person, king, children,wealth and so on everything he has written which apart from region, race everyone if follows their life will be very good and he has written many adhikaram(verses) on how to make friendship with other , how to select a friend.



Thiruvasagam by manika vasagar. Lord shiva will come down to earth and pour down his blessings if we recite those verses. So it is said in tamil 'Thiruvasagathuku mayangadhavar oru vasgathkum mayanga matar'(meaning : if people donot understand and feel the value of thiruvasagam then they will understand the other sweet things which are spoken.



And In tamil we used to say and pray lord shiva "THEN NADUDAYA SIVANAE POTRI" which means



then- south

nadu- state/place

sivan - lord shiva

potri- praying him



which means lord shiva is there around the world but he has his home in the south which is tamil nadu.



It can proved by other way



(1) This temple is located on the equator at the scene of the world that is part of the right ink. (Centre Point of World’s Magnetic Equator).



(2) famine giant temples in the sky representing at Chidambaram Nataraja Temple, air representing kalahasti Temple, the land of Kanchi ekamparesvara alayamum exactly the same linearly, ie exactly 79 Degrees, 41 minutes East longitude on the (LONGITUTE) is, today google map with the help of the sky on top of looking like a This is the only accurate predictor of the day at an engineering, geological and climactic miracle of vanaviyiyal.



http://www.zerothoughts.in/index.php/2013/06/15/secret-of-chidambaram-temple/



and another song recited to lord MURUGAN is



Muruganae senthil mudhalvanae MAYON marumaganae oru kai mugan thambiyae ninudayae thandai kal nambiyae epoludhum kai tholuven naan.



Here in above verse of the poem recited u can very well see the word mayon .......



And very important thing which the whole india needs to know iam sry this is the truth.



Everyone knows aryans came from central asia. In short ill say they saw the rich culture,heritage and the wealth of not only tamil people but the whole of inida .



Tamilians are good but they are light hearted they will give everything if some one touched their heart let it be by affection or the kings of the past if some people praise them and recite the songs they gave their part of wealth.



LIke wise aryans understood the tamilians and praised the kings and slowly started invading us inall aspects our wealth, culture and everything.They saw our unity and they broke in the name of "CASTE" which is very much prevelant today . In thiruvalluvar time if there were caste system then he might have written a book for that also . WHY DIDNT HE WRITE ???? ARYANS ARE THE PEOPLE WHO CAME AND INVADED THE TAMIL LANGUAGE AND RE WRITTEN ALL THE MANTRAS AND SLOGAS INTHEIR LANGUAGE MIXED AND PROVED INNNOCENT PEOPLE WHICH IS NOW CALLED "SANSKRIT".



For this they tried to make people fool by making the "OLAICHUVADI" which is a set of palm leaves where in those days poens and all where written. They said people that we willhave a testimony where people will test the the truth which gods accepts. They took the tamil olaichuvadi and their rewritten in sanskrit which is mixture of tamil and aryan language olaichuvadi where they tied with a stone inside the olaichuvadi to see which floats on water. Obviously theirs only will float.



Like wise they demolished all our works and converted to their name and people who opposed and move to the end of the village or town who are called SC caste people. Iam sorry iam not here to criticise anything but to just prove. For this you can have proof in SC caste you can see a sub caste called 'THIRUVALLUVAR'. So people who supported them are the other caste people who did inter caste marriages between aryans and indians . And didnt give education, good food and etc etc .



And another proof also aryans were very tall and whitish people . Indians are wheatish or black from this you can prove yourselves that the people who are moved to the end of the viilage are the real people and others are a mix of aryans and indians.



Like wise they created "ANAL VADHAM", "PUNAL VADHAM" . Anal vadham means they fired all our precious writings by saying it is sin and burnt it and punal vadham is throwing the olai chuvadi in the river.



LIke wise they came and sat at a permanent place of temple as "gurukal" so that everyone will follow them.



and the people who are ignored(SC) are you can very well see they are more brave, rough and mostly they play kabadi and native games since all time it is said that tamilians are more brave . You can have the proof .



Again iam not here speak about caste just saying the truth.



Aryans have demolished every single works of ours otherwise they have re-writtten intheir language.



This carnatic music which everyone praises also "TAMIL MUSIC" which they stoled from us and converte dto sanskrit.



The worst part is at present we have many works(literature) of tamil they have burnt our works thats what makes me feel very bad.



And last but not least TAMIL HAS ALL QUALITIES TO BE THE BEST EVER LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD. AND IT IS A "SEMOLI" SWEET LANGUAGE.



There are many things i will write in another blog



Thanks,

TAMILACHI(PROUD TO BE)

Answer 15

Look my friends, the reason for raising this questions was not to prove that one language is Superior to another, but the way doubts are raised and clarifications and justifications are given, it seems like my south Indian friends are trying to prove that Tamil is Superior to other language. I have no hassles in accepting that Tamil is a very sweet and great language but if anyone say that Tamil is greatest language that is an insult to other language and I DENOUNCE THAT. Thus I have to answer every claim made by my Tamil brothers and sisters to prove that Tamil is Superior than other languages.



- The Origin of Tolkāppiyam or தொல்காப்பியம் is not known, the origin date is debated between 3rd century BC and 10th century AD. Thus any claims that Tolkāppiyam is older than Rigveda is wrong.



- The story of Aryan invasion is only a myth created by British to promote Divide and rule policy in India. And that is very much proved. If any further reading required, please let me know, I will flood this forum with 100s of references to prove this claim.



- Do you know Kashi Vishwanath Temple in north has more than 3500 years of documented history? Thus at the minimum please do not claim that Lord Shiva is god of South India.



- There are several international organizations that have approved that Sanskrit is the oldest language, others have approved that Hebrew is the oldest language, some others have approved that others are oldest language. What does it prove? Nothing. This is utter misleading fact.



- Any one who says Sanskrit is a dead language is absolutely mistaken, Sanskrit is very much alive, it is alive in form of many other languages, it is used in its original form in everyday pooja archana. And secodary, the original script that is called as Tamil today, is also dead is I go by the logic that is used by you. Its only the name "Tamil" that is used to the current language but original Tamil is lost some where down the line.



- Ramayana did not happen in Rameshawara, a part of Ramayana happened in Southern part, I guess you know that Ayodhya, Mithila existed and exists in North. Thus by all logics, Ramayan happened in North extended till South and ended in north. And do I need to answer who copied Ramayana? I don't think I need to answer that, just use google.com and see the dates of origin of both the ramayana.



- No one knows the colors of god, these are just the imginations of human being.



- Now, Hindi is dragged into this arguement for reason, but because it is dragged, let me answer, whatever it may be, Hindi is most Important language in India because it is used by most of the people in India, even the people in Tamilnadu are teaching Hindi to their children.



- Tamil does not exists in its original form. As a matter of fact, the Tamil spoken in Chennai is not Tamil itself, it is spoit and messed up Tamil. Tamil exists only down south Tamilnadu.



By this argument I do not try to establish the superiority of any language over other languages. I beg to state that I do not want to impose my language on any body. But I wish to state that every languages are important, all the languages are useful, all the languages are great.



I say Tamil is devine, I say Tamil is great.



And so is Telgu, so is Marathi, so is Hindi, so is Gujarati, so is Bengali, so is Asami, so is Sankrit, so is Kannada and so on....



If anyone says, any of these lanaguage is greatest, I have objection, and I do not agree to that.



@Ranjith, Look my friend, I am not here to fight with anyone. For me anyone and everyone in India speaking any language belonging to any religions and faith is just an Indian, as far as he or she respect the great tricolor. On that account, you the folks belonging to the southern land of India that holds the great history of India are by brothers and sisters, thus please do not argue with me considering me as your enemy. A healthy debate would allow us to learn from each other, and fighting will only generate heat and enmity and that is not good for "Unity in Diversity". Having said that, let me assure you, I will not reply to any comments that I find as fighting rather than healthy arguments. I would like to contribute to keep YA as much as possible. I would not like to engage myself in fighting and leg pulling. Hope you understand.



1. Let me assure that, my mother tongue is not Hindi, but because Hindi is "Official Language of Union" as per constitution, and spoken and understood by maximum people of India, I said it is the most important language in India. Like Hindi is useless in Tamilnadu, but as you exit Tamilnadu, the Hindi works even in non-Hindi states including other 3 south Indian states. Whether we like it or not, but that is the reality, I did not understand your objection in that.



2. Which international organization declared Sanskrit as "Dead Language" my friend? Just for your information,



Johan Frederik (Frits) Staal is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and South & Southeast Asian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley



Michael Witzel is Wales Professor of Sanskrit at Harvard University, United States.



René Paul Viktor Kiparsky is a professor of Sanskrit at Stanford University



George Cardona is an American linguist and Indologist. He is professor emeritus of Sanskrit at the University of Pennsylvania



These are just few examples from USA. I did not say Tamil is dead lanaguage, I said if I use the same criteria as you used for Sanskrit, then Tamil is dead language. I know Tamil is alive and very much alive, I wish Tamil is alive forever. It is very hard to leave Indian heritage alive, and proud to have such Indian ancient languages used Indian.
