  saliyar is a small community in tamilnadu .
  Their language is telugu. Their job is handweaving.
  Many families are in Kanjipuram. Some spreads in
  tiruchi, madurai, perambalur and some near districts. But one can come across saliyar street in
  any town(fairly old). They are very less in number.
  kumaran silks Nalli kuppusamy belongs to this caste.

  Saliar is the tamilized form of Salis. the name of this community is Padmasalis. Their profession is weaving. Their mothertongue is Telugu. They can be found anywhere in Andhra and places like Swamimalai , Kumbhakonam , Kanchipuram and Chennai in Tamil Nadu.

  The majority of saliyar community is in Srivilliputthur, Rajapalayam, Aruppukkottai and nearby areas. The main business is handloom weaving. Now everybody is diverting to various business like textile showroom, Construction, IT industry etc. Around 1500 imigrants are in Chennai from Srivilliputthur nearby area.

  Hello Mr Rajasubramanium
  Are all these saliyars telugus?
  
  
• From: KARTHIK (@ 216.231.206.130) on: Wed Dec 1 04:46:09 EST 2004
  
  Not all the Saliyars are telugus. Most of the people living in south India(Madurai,Aruppukottai, Kancheepuram, Chennai) speak Tamil.
  The people are really honest and they are very helpful.
  They are hardworking people. They are simply GREAT.

  But saliyars are telugus though they speak tamil due to geographical and social reasons
