Tamil is spoken by 70 million people across the globe. It is the official language in the state of Tamil Nadu, Singapore and Sri Lanka. If thoughts of temples and tigers appeal, then Tamil Nadu – land of the Tamils and heartland of southern India – is the place to be. Long coastlines and forested mountains form stunning backdrops to this, the cradle of Dravidian civilization. Manifestations of its ancient culture are everywhere, from vast temple compounds with steeply stepped, riotously coloured gopurams (gateway towers) to beautifully detailed rock carvings, and classical music and dance that are both complex and compelling. Pilgrims pour into the ancient sites of Kanchipuram, Chidambaram, Kumbakonam, Trichy (Tiruchirappalli), Thanjavur (Tanjore), Madurai, Kanyakumari and Rameswaram – far outnumbering tourists.

Tamil is spoken in parts of Sri Lanka and Singapore.

Here are some of the basic Tamil phrases that you might use:

• Eppadi irukkindriirgal? (How are you?)
• Ungal peyar enna? (What is your name?)
• Ungalai paarthathu migavum sandhosham. (Pleased to meet you.)
