Hello Everyone,

In Tamil there was pure Tamil (thanith thamizh) movement which worked hard to remove all the sanskrit in the 20th century Tamil!
If Malyalees did that to their language, and furthermore they removed foreign grammatical influence then, todays Malyalam will become Tamil (not necessary senthamizh but Tamil). This not a supprise since Malyalam born out of Tamil mainly due to Sanskrit influences! Before 900 ACE today's Keral was "Chera Nadu" and spoke Tamil (accent may vary). It's said that only about 1600 ACE the Malyalm replaced Tamil completely!

So back to the question, should Kerala r-adopt Tamil? Why?/Why not? (prefer Malyalees answering but every one's welcome to provide thoughts)

  Hanuman meets Seetha:
  
  That monkey warrior Hanuman saw not far away in that Ashoka garden, in the middle, a lofty temple filled with fragrance like a second Gandhamadana Mountain, standing by a thousand pillars, white like Mount Kailaasa with stairs made of corals with platforms made of refined gold as though radiant with glory, clear and because of being tall as though scraping the sky.
  
  Thereafter Hanuman saw Seetha wearing a silky transparent garment, showing off her fine strong nipples, surrounded by rakshasa women, emaciated due to fasting, looking miserable, sighing again and again.
  
  Hanuma saw Seetha with a face like full moon, with beautiful eyebrows, with graceful rounded bouncy breasts, dark nipples with wide aureola, by the radiance making all directions without darkness, goddess like with black hair, with lips like bimba fruit, with a good waist, very firm, plump and firm buttocks well rounded, round thighs like elephant trunks, a faint wisp of pubic hair barely visible under the transparent silk, the rose petals like vulva with its lips parted and shyly peeking underneath the silky soft pubic hair, pubic hair smelling of musk, with eyes like lotus petals, like Rati the consort of god of love. As the light of full moon, dear to all world, like an ascetic woman leading austere life sitting on bare ground with a good and lovely body. Sighing a lot like the consort of lord of serpents in fright, not radiant by sorrow which was great and extensive. Hanuman sighed deeply at the lovely appearance of the radiant Seetha and was filled with awe at the unearthly beauty of her firm young body.

  ////RECEIPE FOR MAKING TAMIL:
  
  take few small pebble stones,
  put it in a empty tin box
  shake it , it will sound as long as you shake it
  then you can have feel of how tamil sounds.
  Really rocking.
  
  another recipe:
  -------------
  Bring variety of cockroaches
  keep it in empty thin tin box
  the resultant sound is divine
  and this divinity is called Tamil.
  Everything looks good on me is you,
  That is what cockroaches trying to sing together
  and that idli-la-vada macchas are trying to teach to whole world which they refer as tamil language, which you can write in many ways:
  
  Tamil, dhamil, thamizh. , not sure which is correct.////
  
  Whata perfect analysis!! wow great sum up , keep up hight!!!

  It was really a stupidity to remove the Sanskrit words completely from tamil, because in today's Tamil and for that matter any Indian language can not ignore the influences of English language. If English is not an allien language to us, certainly Sanskrit is also not one for us. If one is proud being an Indian, he should be proud of Sanskrit also, as it is not a religious language but the most scientific language with highly developed phonetics, which other languages also got influenced by, in due course of time. We are proud being a Tamilian or Kannadiga but we can't forget we are Indians.

  I don't feel it is an action of stupidity.
  
  //it is not a religious language but the most scientific language with highly developed phonetics//
  
  It is very laughable to hear this!
  Write a list of your scientific knowledge!
  You are so ignorant that you claim it is not a religious language.

  There is nothing Indian in Sanskrit..if the language is not for the masses then there is no richness in it..Sanskrit was monopolized by a small section of people and thats the reason for its death..same will be the fate of tamil which has already lost its usefulness since a small section calling themselves dravidians tried to monopolize it and killed it in the process...today, nobody takes pride in talking in tamil..or today's tamil is no tamil but a mix of alllllll languages 'pithcaikaran vanthi eduthathu pol'

  Yes, I beleive it's time Keralities re-adopt Tamil. After all that was their original language.
  
  "It was really a stupidity to remove the Sanskrit words completely from tamil, because in today's Tamil and for that matter any Indian language can not ignore the influences of English language. If English is not an allien language to us, certainly Sanskrit is also not one for us. "
  
  Just because there are some English words in Tamil doesn't mean we consider it to NOT alien. Ofcourse we will remove the influence fo English on Tamil in the course of time.
