Let's Learn TamilTamil, the official language of Tamil Nadu, boasts a rich history and cultural significance. Utilizing a derivative of the Brahmi script, Tamil's letters represent sounds in a manner similar to Mandarin. Tamil has a global presence and is widely spoken not only in Tamil Nadu but also in regions such as Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Singapore, and Malaysia.
Renowned as one of the oldest civilizations in the world, Tamil culture has deep roots in the prestigious Dravidian Family. Tamilians, like other South Indians, take immense pride in their ancient Tamil culture, diligently preserving a history that spans over 2000 years. Tamil Nadu's history is marked by the rule of dynasties such as the Cholas, the Pandyas, and the Pallavas, contributing to the state's flourishing art and architecture, which continues to be appreciated and maintained today.
Of the 74 million Tamil people worldwide, approximately 62 million reside in Tamil Nadu, while the rest are dispersed across different parts of India and the world. The people of Tamil Nadu hold a strong connection to their ethnicity, understanding how it shapes their identity on a global scale. Steeped in rituals and traditions, including the adherence to the caste system, Tamilians actively uphold their cultural heritage.
