What is your native language?

Mine is Tamil. I'm proud to say it's one of world's oldest language with a rich and proud history
Wraithorn · 51-55, M
That's great that you are proud of your language. 2000 yrs is a long time as us Humans know it. There is obviously a reason why it has survived for so long.

My native language is English but I am a South African. I am a descendant of colonialism...:-)

@Wraithorn you are from a country that has undone its legacy of colonialism, or at least tried to. I think that is something to be proud of. We in Canada are trying to find our way there.
Wraithorn · 51-55, M
@starsslave: Well I wish you and Canada good luck. We are all playing a part in the raising of the consciousness of Humanity in general. It takes time but we'll get there eventually. Al of us Humans come from the same source ultimately. We are all one ultimately.

Namaste...:-)

Should the newest language be less proud?
Bhavitra · 31-35, F
@Awesomizer: It's a treasure passed on to me by my ancestors. So yeah big deal I guess.
@Bhavitra: it is a language not a treasure xD but whatever you choose to see
Bhavitra · 31-35, F
@Awesomizer: Yeah simpler that way. To each, her own.

I think that knowing multiple languages is a sign of intelligence.
Thank you
tynamite · 31-35, M
@Awesomizer: I could never do it.
Bhavitra · 31-35, F

@GermanAf: Why did it happen? When did the rot began?
SW-User
I have no idea. It just happened.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
I knew this, even though I am Joe White guy American. I work with a lot of Tamilians.
Bhavitra · 31-35, F
Really, that's awesome. What do you work as? And is there a large Tamil community in your area?
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
I work in IT. I know, big surprise right? i work for an IT consulting company. I'm the #2 man. The owner is a Tamilian and we have an office in Chennai.

Having been in IT for more than 20 years, I have known and worked with a lot of Tamilians.
Bhavitra · 31-35, F
@HoraceGreenley: Awesome. Vanakam to you then!

i know the language of sarcasm and assholeness, truly ancient and still very cryptic and sacred
Bhavitra · 31-35, F
I was asking your mother tongue tho.
Cinnamon · 31-35, F
Yay! I'm so glad to meet someone proud of her native language on here! Can you teach us a bit of Tamil?
Bhavitra · 31-35, F
Sure I'll be honoured.
nedkelly · 61-69, M

Absolutely
Cinnamon · 31-35, F
@IstillmissEP there is no reason why not; they are from different language families.
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
That's cool! What is my username in Tamil?
My native language is Dutch.
Bhavitra · 31-35, F
It'll be a mouthful trust me. And Tamil has its own characters which is hard to Anglicanize. Dutch is one of Malaysia's colonial masters
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
@Bhavitra: Geez! Good thing I don't need to put my name in Tamil then.
