Excerpt from A Grammar of the Tamil Language: With an Appendix
From the poetical writings, Tamil style and diction, as used in common life, cannot be learned: because they contain so many old Tamil words, which are not at all in use now, and so many terminations and modes different from those in common conversation, that it is not at all intelligible, except after hearing the explana tion of learned men; and even they cannot understand at once any poem written in that manner, withoutmuch difficulty. Those poetical writings contain indeed explanations in prose; and from them something more of Tamil style and diction may be attained; but they also differ much from the style used in civil life, and not unfrequently require another explanation to make them intelligible.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricacies of the Tamil language, offering a comprehensive guide to its grammar and syntax. The author, a scholar with deep connections to native Tamil speakers, provides a structured approach to learning the language, addressing the shortcomings of previous works that often mixed formal and informal language styles. Navigating between the complexities of classical Tamil and the informalities of everyday speech, the book presents a clear path to understanding the language as it is spoken and written by educated individuals. It acknowledges the challenges posed by classical Tamil texts, including archaic vocabulary and complex grammatical structures, and instead focuses on equipping learners with the tools to engage with contemporary Tamil communication. The book explores the historical development of Tamil grammatical works, tracing their origins back to the renowned Agastier and his disciple Tolkapiyer. It sheds light on the contributions of various scholars and sects, including the Jains and the Saivites, in shaping the understanding of Tamil grammar. By examining the nuances of pronunciation, word formation, and sentence construction, this book empowers learners to appreciate the richness and expressiveness of the Tamil language, enabling them to confidently navigate its unique linguistic landscape.
