Tamil Is Our Mother Tongue! .. But Tamils Speak Tanglish! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

our language is very unique,
developed from simple movements,
each alphabet has something to tell,
each word derived from what we do,

grammar of Tamil was written.
three thousand years ago,
which we speak and write,
with dictatorial pride,

our great sea galloping ancestors,
traveled around to create empires,
our history not yet written truly,
we were made to forget our story.

Most languages have one or many Tamil words,
which innocent natives may not understand,
thousands of Tamil words are root words for modern English,
with suffixes, prefixes attached with it

Tamil, one of the oldest living language,
has less than 80 million children,
who are forced to think they are inferior,
half of them speak in broken Tamil English..
