Amazing Facts.. (India)
Some facts of TAMIL language :tup
History
The Tamil language is thought to be one of the oldest classical languages in the world
historians have been unable to provide an exact date of origin there is evidence in the form of Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions, which were found in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka suggesting it has been spoken since 500BC
Tamil was also one of the dominant languages of trade during the pre-colonial era
Facts and numbers
In the ancient world the land of the Tamil language and its people was ruled by three lines of kings, the Chera, Chola and Pandiya. The lands they ruled were called Chera Nadu, Chola Nadu and Pandiya Nadu. In today’s world, Tamil is spoken in Tamil Nadu, south east India and northern Sri Lanka as well as other parts of the world such as Malaysia Singapore etc
Tamil is the 15th most spoken language in the world
Tamil speakers make up 1% of the world’s population
Tamils are of Dravidian origin and there are four major Dravidian languages in south Asia – Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam
There are approximately 220 million native speakers of Dravidian languages in the world
Tamil Language has a temple for "Tamil Thai" (Thai - means Mother
located in karaikudi,Tamil Nadu
The goddess is accompanied by Valluvar and Ilangovadigal

Diglossia – spoken and written
When a language community such as Tamil uses two dialects or languages, it is known as diglossia. In linguistic speak, these are usually referred to as the H or ‘high’ type and the L or ‘low’ type. They are used in different ways for example, the H-type is more formal, conservative and prestigious and is found in elements of life such as education, literature and religion. The L-type is used in elements such as everyday conversation and, in the case of Tamil, TV and cinema
Tamil is still considered a rare language in the UK and many public sector organisations, such as hospitals and doctors surgeries, are frequently in need of Tamil interpreter
First dictionary among the Indian languages was published in Tamil
Tamil was one of the most essential international business languages of the world until 15th century
Tamil hymes like Thiruppavai / Tiruvembai are chanted for ages not only in India but also in countries like Thailand still now

Amazing Facts.. (Tamil Language)
some facts ancient india
There are no any lessons about the mindset and thoughts of the ancient people This could be probably because ancient Indians were extremely modern and broadminded in their mindset
We all don’t know that in ancient India, in the times of Vedic period, there are women ascetics and they were called as Rishikas. They are known to be tribes in northern India.
According to Manusmriti, the most important and most studied ancient legal text says that in ancient India, women had the liberty to earn money and spend them in whichever way they like
Women had full right to receive as much education as they want even it was more than men
Coming to Mahabharata, it tells that if women don’t want to be closely acquainted, no man will force them. Men have to be in control in such situations and walk on the path of righteousness to control them A man has no right to beat his wife and treat her in an ill manner
According to Lakshmi Tantra, an ancient text, all women have to be respected and should be treated equally irrespective of their appearance and their looks
Women have had the freedom of choosing their life partner. If she wishes to remain as spinster, it’s her decision
This rule is totally different from the ancient period to present modern world
In olden days, there was no issue over the intactness of a woman’s hymen. Woman’s virginity was never a matter even if there was no hymen.
Dating between men and women is also there in ancient days. Rather, whenever the duo went to a public place for dating, no one would disturb them
Upanishads states that even women can study Veda, Upanishads and all texts and they also can choose to be ‘acharya’ or a teacher
