TAMIL PAGE 
Tamil, language spoken by tamilians, inhabitants of Tamil Nadu. Tamil is among the four oldest languages in the world apart from Greek, Latin, and Sanscrit. Founder of the language Sage Agasthiya came down to Earth to spread this beautiful language, on the request of Lord Shiva. He wrote first Tamil grammar book Agathiyam. It was the first grammar book written for any language in the world. Unfortunately, no copy of this book is known to exist now. The version written byAgasthiya's disciple, Tholkaapiyar, nearly 5000 years ago, still exists, and is accepted as the oldest grammar book in any language. This book is called Tholkaapiyam, after its author. Thirukkural a tamil book on philosophy and life in general, was written by Thiruvalluvar, a sage and philosopher, about 2000 years ago. It is one of the greatest and most succinct books ever written, by popular and critical opinion. After Bible, the Thirukkural is the book which has been translated into the most number of languages.
The
pride of many Tamils is the language Tamil itself.One of the distinguishing
features of Tamil is that it has three different forms of the sound "l".
In fact, the correct pronunciation of "Tamil" sounds like "Tamizh" for
which there is no phonetic equivalent in most other languages. Today, there
are around 55 million people speaking Tamzhil in Tamzhilnadu, India and
there are sizable Tamil speaking populations in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore,
Mauritius and other countries.
