Učte sa Tamilštinu

Tamil is an official language of Sri Lanka along with Sinhala and is also spoken in the Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. It is spoken in various other Indian states as well as in Singapore. About 60 million of its speakers live in India. Tamil is a Dravidian language - others in this family include Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. Because most of its vocabulary is based on Classical Tamil, modern Tamil speakers are able to understand a lot of the Classical language. Other influences on vocabulary come from Sanskrit, English and the other Dravidian languages.
