Ancient and Unique Nature of Tamil
The scope of this topic is very wide. I have tried to summarize the views of various scholars when they try to Introduce Tamil to readers in their respective books. I feel this essay would be the right place to start my mini series on Tamil Literature studies.
Tamil Etymology:
What does the word Tamil mean? Let’s have a look at the Tamil Lexicon entry for the word Tamil.
தமிழ் tamiḻ
, n. perh. தமி¹. cf. dramiḍa. 1. Sweetness, melodiousness; இனிமை. (பிங்.) 2. Refined quality; நீர்மை. (பிங்.) 3. Tamil language, being divided into iyaṟ-ṟamiḻ, icai-t-tamiḻ, nāṭaka-t-tamiḻ; இயற்றமிழ், இசைத்தமிழ், நாடகத் தமிழ் என மூவகையாக வழங்கும் மொழி. 4. Tamil literature, Tamil work; தமிழ் நூல். 5. The Tamils; தமிழர். அருந்தமி ழாற்ற லறிந்திலர் (சிலப். 26, 161). 6. The Tamil country; தமிழ்நாடு. தண் டமிழ் வினைஞர் (மணி. 19, 109).
Launching Beta Site
All,
The existing site (http://www.ponniyinselvan.in) is forum based which doesn't fit well with all type of contents since it is basically for members to post messages, doesn't play well with articles, pages, etc.,
I have been working on a new site which is in beta which is Drupal (http://www.drupal.org) based
Highlights
- Bilingual - Both Tamil and English interface, the articles are not yet translated (Vijay would be helping me on this, volunteers are welcome)

ஸ்வஸ்தி ஸ்ரீ
திருமகள் போலப் பெருநிலச் செல்வியும்
தனக்கே (தநக்கே) உரிமை பூண்டமை மனக்கொளக்
காந்தளூர்ச் சாலை கலமறுத் தருளி
வேங்கை (வெங்கை) நாடும் கங்க பாடியும்
நுளம்ப பாடியும் தடிகை பாடியும்
குடமலை நாடும் கொல்லமும் கலிங்கமும்
முரட்டொழில் சிங்களை ஈழமண்டலமும்
இரட்ட பாடி ஏழரை இலக்கமும்
முந்நீர் பழந்தீவு பன்னீரா யிரமும்
திண்திறல் வென்றித் தண்டாற் கொண்ட தன்
