history. Tamil has a distinctive place among the widely spread languages in the world, and it
this special place is evidenced by the wayTamil is among the most frequently used thirty
languages around the world. The prevailing state of Tamil language and its use in our country

national level to the ground level as never before. Therefore, many try to learn Tamil as a second
language despite age differences. This interest could also become the basis for national peace.
