As a young South African growing up in Durban (The city with the largest Indian population outside of India) I often came across adults speaking the Tamil language, but only a few of my friends at school, maybe 2or3 actually spoke or understood any of it, which I found sad. I think children should embrace their parents culture, despite how "uncool" they think it is. That way languages, cultures, believes and ancient tales and songs can be passed on to the next generation.
I personally thought it's a lovely sounding language, especially the singing!

For the words, I equate the difficult with that of Thai. The Thai language sounds more friendly than Tamil.

To be honest, I actually do not know about the Tamil language. I have heard a lot of Hindi and a lot of Gujarati.

I am completely unfamiliar with the Tamil language. I have not seen it written or heard it spoken, as far as I know.

I have never ever tried to understand this language. I had some idea that this language is spoken in Srilanka, India , also malay is like tamil. Right?

I know that people in the North speak Tamil including in Sri Lanka but apart from that I have had no reason or opportunity to use it.

Another language, another proof of how ignorant I am, another reason for me to pause and ponder because diversity in the human race is greater than I could ever comprehend.

It is spoken as beautiful as it is in writing. I first heard/saw it in Kerala 7 years ago. Then I heard Jesudas sing the Gaytri Mantra. Astounding!
