TAMIL


There are some 6000 languages estimated to be in vogue.

Of these only 6 languages taught civilization to the world.

Among these only Chinese, Tamil, and of late Hebrew do renew themselves coping up with the scientific advancements.

Tamil is more than a regional language, and it is in fact an international language.

Out of 40 BBC language broadcastings, from India only Tamil and Hindi are used.

Again, out of the 42 Chinese broadcasting languages, Tamil and Hindi are used.

UNESCO's Courier Paper also used only Tamil and Hindi from Indian languages.

Tamils live in over 60 nations of the world.

Tamil is national language in Srilanka and Singapore.

Of the Indian Web languages, Tamil is almost leading.

Tamil web/ online-university seems to be the only language based web university.
