Linguists debate whether all languages are descended from a common ancestor. This can’t be completely true, since many sign languages have been invented out of whole cloth in modern time (Nicaraguan sign is a famous example), as was, to a meaningful extent, Hawaiian Pidgin.
However, students of history know from the ancient Greek historian Herodotus that Phrygian is the first language. According to his writings, an Egyptian king by the name of Psammetichus ordered that two children “of the ordinary sort” be raised in an isolated cabin without exposure to language. At the age of two or so, the children began to speak Phrygian, which was taken as proof that Phrygian, not Egyptian, is the world’s earliest language.
This study is a great example of why experiments need to be replicated before they are taken too seriously.

desh ko aage badaane mein competition ho raha hai ya lootne mein? mujhe nahi lagta india kabhi sudhregi..sirf 15th, august ya.. 2nd october jaise dino mein hi “me an indian” waali hoti hai phir baad mein to struggle likha hai logon ki zindagi mein..agar isi tarha aage bhi desh ko lootne mein politicians rahe to bas gaye kaam se. kuch nahi kehna..ek politician ko desh ki gharib log aur unke poverty ko dekh kar dukhi hona chahiye… par aisa kabhi hota hai kya?? tabhi to india mein kabhi France jaise country mein jo sadke hai us tarah ki sadke nahi hai..na kabhi “disney land” koi idhar dekh paata..koi swiss choclate kha nahi paata…paisa haath mein rahega tabhi to yeh sab sapna poora hoyega…bas kuch nahi karna…bas ab to koi “chamatkaar” hi is desh ko bacha sakta hai.
God never care abt who is surrendering or who is escaping. He just want pure love and heart full of kindness. He does not feel happy getting load of flowers from a ill hearted rich guy but only one flower from a poor guy full of faith. He is the WATCH MAN.
Samay bada balwaan re…samay bada balwaan.
who is singing this song “samay bada balwaan” congress or bjp?..they never sing the song “dukh se mat gabraana panchi” because they have money power. we own neither a hut nor a bit…. all are written for politicians. Roti aur kapda to hai…what about “makaan” (land) :) all about destiny…kismet ka maara..
Bhai, mein thak chuki hu india ke haalat dekh kar. yahaan pe nyaay nahi hai, larkiyon ko izzat nahi milthi hai, kissaan log dukhi hain, bank lootne waala apraadhi hai par samaajh chalaane ke liye jo paisa sarkaar ke paas hai usko lootne waala “mahaan” hai…Politician ko ithna freedom mila hua hai ke koi saawal utta nahi sakta jo uttatha hai usko shaant kara dete hain. Power sab kuch karwaata hai. Iska hal kuch hai bhi ya nahi? har ek politician apne dil mein haath rakh kar yeh kabhi karega ki jo uske party mein corruption kiya hai usko nikhaalo. Sab milkar lootne mein lage hain to kya kabhi yeh desh sudhrega? NAHI NAHI NAHI. Saare poonji is desh mein hote hue bhi doosron se udhaar le sarkaar chala rahe hain. Aur yeh to “Bhagwaaon” ka desh hai…. Zahaan pe “neeyat nahi, insaaf nahi, suraksha nahi, man mein khot, dil mein nafrat, anyaay, jhoote log, laalach, pakhandi sanyaasi.. wahaan pe kya kabhi “bhagwaan” tehrega? Bhagwaan to pathhar banke hi rehega. jab insaan ke dil pathhar ho gaya hai ..insaaniyat nahi hai to .. kya wahaan pe kabhi parampitha vaas karega? “Good Conscience” agar dil mein hota hai to kisi ko mandir jaane ke liye bhi zaroorat nahi hai”…Tapasvi log tapasya kar bahut kuch kamaal ka karam dikha ke gaye hain is desh se….aaj bhi woh log haamare beech hain par dikhate nahi apne aap ko…jo “naam, paisa, aur izzat” ko khareed kar bada nahi ban sakta hai..kaheen chipa hua bhagwaan ko woh sab patha hai….chor do..bol bol ke thak chuki hu.. ma bhi ek katputhli hu koi nachwa raha hai…kya karoon.?
They are actually ruling the country but looting is side business. When we are indulging in matters like rape case, murder case, robbery case, entertainment matters, the competition starts…”unity is the best policy”…”silence is golden”.
Girl Malala and Mr.Khemka..Marvellous job done. Great Humanitarian Work. Shall be remembered forever. Banyan Tree, the protector of justice…Malala the “Noor”.
Ok…let me close the lid of the bottle of wisdom for sometime. I hope i wud be operated as “pommalaattam” (katputhli, the dance of the doll). The bottle is not empty. Have to test it i shall…trapped so tightly in there, previous birth i believe and accept.
“Justice delayed is Justice denied”. Watching crimes happen is also a CRIME. Just open the bottle and pour it out, the courage. Do not fear when truth is near.
I do not want another birth but wud like to meet good souls who departed from this earth. I got so many answers for my questions here in this birth. wud continue to ask one question why God does not show it’s form..i will go away with this question wud cross and get the answer directly from supreme power. I hope. HOPE IS LIFE.
In 2012 we see Malala, what kind of situation it was before 2000 years…i dont want to study. I can understand.
Chivan is Cheevanam (jeevan) the life. How can anyone compare it with human? It is beyond our imagination. It does not have the qualities of humans both good and bad. It is purely Nature. It is doing its duty in a very calm manner undisturbed. We are the creator of the form of chivan. But in reality it is “Cheevan” which gave us the life. Mysterious. It stimulated the brain of humans to create music and dance to create further beautiful form of “art”. Nature is responsible…. the crawling creepers (snakes), the chirping of birds (ichai, the music), the serene sound of streams (chaari), the majestic mountains (patham, said to be the foot of Eechan).
Cha and Ri …..”Sa” and “Ri”
Ka and Ma …….”ga” and “Ma”
Pa and Tha……”Pa” and “Dha”
“Nee” and “Cha”…”Ni” and “sa”
“Chari” the water, “kama” (kamalam) lotus, “Patham” (erupted foot, the lava from volcano) and Neer (water)
“sa ri ga ma padha ni sa…..sa ni dha pa ma ga ri sa”….. (the base) Keep practising..
Chivachaari the unexplorable science producing water..Thiruneervaachan (srinivaasan)
Ok…now about politics. Let Chivan and Parwati take rest for sometime. We should think about the future of india also. The name “Ministry” itself is powerful, if it is then what would be if someone is “Minister”. India is facing problems because of corruption. I have dreams of an india where there will be no poverty. So many had such dreams before but they had gone to the graveyards. What to do? Struggle. India is still fertile but we do not utilise it properly. Enmity between states. How can anyone stop the rays of sun, the passing gentle air but flowing river is stopped. Narrow mindedness. Big heart is needed. I have work now let me do it. I have to study the sun, the HE-Man.
The corruptive Indian ministers of south, north, west and east should think about going for Vanavaacham (vanvaas) and also think abt Sanyaacham(sanyaas). They have an option. Stop being greediful!.
Unmarried or married..women are always facing problems in this world. Eve-teasing, harassment in office where she works. I only tell about girls and women of good character. Bad girls invite..dont talk abt them. All the girls should be educated. They can help their family when there is need. Education is “light”. Thalibaan should allow girls to stand on their own legs. Educated married women can help their husbands by doing job this way the burden can be reduced. Money is important. Widowhood…this affects so badly the women of this world a lot. Physically and mentally women are facing lot of problems but she is called as the “mother”.
She is known as,

The list never ends. :)
Aruvam (formless) had done a crime of creating “uma”. Women face unlimited problems everywhere. We will talk abt crime done by women against women later on. :)………Mother-in-law vs Daughter-in-law. :)
On behalf of Tamizhnadu, i congratulate One and Only Mr.Amitabh Bachan on his birthday. I used to watch his films with my father in bangalore city, the M.G.Road full of cinema halls. Laawaris, Don, Sholay, Muqadar ka Sikander are some of the films still so fresh like icy raindrop. Amitabh the great actor and we tamizhans are expecting Chennai Express to visit TN. Shahrukh Bhai is loved by all. Kisi kisi ke kismet mein khoob saara pyaar aur izzat likha hua hota hai. Log inko dekh kar deewaane ban jaate hain. Ab patha chalta hai duniya mein religion kuch cheez hai hi nahi hai bas “pyaar” hi Eeesa hai. “Anbe Chivam”.. Love is God.
Ever-green actors with charming personality and incredible talent. Shall be remembered always. Music and Films have no religion, colours, creed, borders etc. Only cunning politicians have spoiled the cordial relationship and friendship and aiming all the time how to feed the devil “enmity”.
I also remember today Late Balraaj Sahni Saab, his acting in “Garam Hawa” I am stunned and speechless. What a performance. He was natural not at all acting in tht film.
Maamallapuram the tourist spot of Tamizhnadu needs modern toilet too. Tourists are the worst affected here… All the tourist spots of India note this point. How can anyone stop or control the call of the nature? Temples, please grow more and more margosa trees and banyan trees for the devotees to meditate and let them inhale the medicated air also. Health is wealth.
Thenaali Raaman, the humorist of an ancient court of King said, we can control even hunger but not the call of the nature. :) by saying this he won the gift and remembered forever.
WAZIR-E-AZAM, Birbal of Akbar’s court is also to be remembered. The true entertainers of Ancient time who used to make the kings laugh a lot. Humour is also a therapy.
Tolerating everything is also a “challenge” and the world would one day come to know in what way tamizhans and tamizhnadu had been facing the atrocities committed by so many devils. This history has the records. Learn and leave. What can I say? If there is God, the name and existance of God itself irriates the Evil power…I strongly believe.. just like that if there is TRUTH that is TAMIZH it would irritate all the satanic forces. We have to tolerate everything with mental strength. Tamizh is HOLY SOUL. It shall be ALWAYS. It is PURE, EVER-GIVING SOUL FULL OF CHASTITY. Chivan is the Witness. Everywhere Tamizh is living, the oldest one, Tham-il…the endless one. I remember today those departed souls who fought to protect this divine language. No one can deny the fact that SUN is for all and no one can ever deny also the fact that Tamizh is everywhere. Tamizh never makes noise it is always calm, we are only struggling…facing negative forces all the time.
Tamizh is not a human it is NATURE. Dont ever compare this with humans the most poisonous ones. Humans are always conspirators. I hate.
I feel so sorry and shocked to know the sudden demise of the lovable daughter of legendary singer Mrs.Asha Bhonsle. May the Almighty give the family strength to tolerate this tragic end of their beloved daughter. Destiny is playing cruel games too. Depressed girls and boys should be given importance. Sharing and caring will bring lot of changes and smile on face. One should not leave the depressed people alone. The brain would take the opportunity to fill up negative thoughts. “Mental Iilness” is the worst ailment. Music is also a therapy. Miracle is needed to cure the hearts full of pain.
Mr.S.M.Krishna..message for the Minister, Dont poke your nose into matter that does not concern you. About Kaveri, if there is excess water it may please be released. After thorough check-up only, the decision to release water to TN was taken. Why suddenly the minister is intervening? Tamizhans know already his betrayal. Does he believe “Re-birth” concept? Annapoorani would put her glance on him too. Kaveri, the name of the river is purely tamizh. Kuthavari (godavari) is also tamizh name. The minister should know what is the importance of “giving” and the boon is granted by the Almighty for being generous towards humanity. I said, 70% of humans are atheist. Stop playing the mythological role of “Naaratha”…Hell with mythology. “Narathan” is no one but the SUN.
About “Kaveri” the opinions of Mr.Subramaniam Swamy are needed. What would he call it? “Tamizh Sentiment” ?? Media should get the answer from him. If he ever say that it is purely tamizhan’s issue then who are those people who call themselves iyers and iyangars and reside in tamizhnadu. Purely selfish opinions. Co-operation, friendlyness and support are the must things to think about the welfare of TN here all the people from all the states of india and people from various countries are also living. Nature is giving water and politicians are playing foul games to satisfy their selfish aims. An Atheist with pure good conscience should be called a thiest. Think about it.
“Charu Kechi” (charu kesi) …the one who is with water on his head. Charu is water. kecham is hair.
“Charu Latha”…the hairy head with water ..latha means the climber or creeper like hair.
“Charu Chalam”…the region of water. (salem the district in tamizh nadu should be prounounced as chalam)
“Charu Maithee” (charumathi) ..the one who is water.
“Chanmukan”…the watery faced. Mukam is face or the meeting place.
“Chanthira Mathee” (chandramathi) …water
“Mathee” in tamizh is also the “moon” as it does not produce heat.
“Kunthala Kechari”…the one who is holding water on his hairy head. Ku is water and thalai is head, kecham is hair.
“Kunthalani” Chakathee (kundalini shakti) … watery headed fire (sun)
“Kumpa Melam” (kumbh mela, haridwar) ….the meeting place near water( in Arithuvaaram (haridwar) ancient tamizhans, the chivan devotees used to gather here) or the sound produced near rivers a way of worship… Melam is an instrument that makes unique sound.
“Maithili”…again water.
“Maiylan”….water
“Maithiran”…the capacity of water…thiran the energy.
“Maina” or “Meenam”(fish) …water related.
“Meena Lochani”….the world of water….Lo is ulakam (lok) Chan is water.
“Maika Nathan” (meghnath) The Lord of water. (maikam (megha) is cloud in tamizh)
“Thiriveni Chankamam” (Triveni Sangam)…the meeting of three rivers with white coloured waves.
“Charpa Eechwaran”(sarbeswaran, sarbesh)… The Father of water.
“Kaala Pairavan” (kaalbhairav)…The Lord of Time.
“Paathaala Pairavi” (paathal bhairav)…The Lord of Underworld, the core of earth.
5 elements were responsible for making tamizh words. (Nature)
“Kunthalani chakathee” (kundalini Shakti) is connected with “snake” because the power that moves up create the stimulating sensation and makes one feel in his sub-conscious mind that snake is crawling up from the bottom through the spine to the top to knock the power of reasoning. Conscious mind can not understand what kind of power is this. Mysterious power that wakes up the mind of the person with sincere questions full of purity. We can not all the time say this is science related because someone up there is operating who makes the destiny. It is testing all the time. It controls.
Charpam (sarpam) is also a tamizh name for “snake”. Again, wrong meaning given. But, since kunthalini power is connected with chivan (sun), the charpam the name got its place in tamil literature as snake. “Charaka Muni” the one who has water inside. “Char” the water and “akam” inside
Chivan is also called as the “Piramachari” (Brahmachari) the exact meaning is the illusionary matter that holds water. Purely mysterious and magical ball of fire…ok..dont go deep into the subject….brahmachari does not mean “a person who is unmarried”. One should understand the exact meaning. Only by studying the tamizh language that too from a good Tamizh scholar would clear the confusions. Today, the girls and boys are not interested in tamizh they dont show interest in knowing ancient culture and tradition but they spend their time in chatting and dating. :) and spoilt students indulge themselves in beating each other…everywhere politics :) BJP and CONGRESS have spoiled the whole nation. What about third major party, what is the name? Jan-e-Kalyaan, Mangal-e-Jan, Kanoon-e-Lok, Anth-e-bhrashtachaar, Mangal-e-hindusthaan, Shubha-e-hindusthaan, Jyothimay-e-Lok, Roshni-e-kanoon??? am curious to know :)
“Chanmukan” (shanmuga), Kumaran (kumar), Venkatachalam, venkatachalapathi, (venkatajalapati) venkataeechwaran (venkataeeshwar), “Vennai” is butter in tamizh obviously, the waves of sea, rivers etc. are compared with white coloured butter. Paalaachi (balaji) Kuvinthan (govind), Narayanan (narain) all are water related names given to “Sun” only. I should study about “Aarumukan” the meaning given “six faced god” in tamizh.. dont know how it changed. but in tamizh “AaRu” is also river.
“Karu Mai” or “KaN Mai” is the black paste applied on eyes for cooling effect. So, Mai gives the meaning of “Coolness”. “Kaajal” in hindi but it should be “Kuchal” (kuchalam, water) the fact the paste is not in liquid form if they call it “Churumai” then it is correct. The pounded paste. Chooranam is (crushed) powder in tamil dictionary of siddha medicine.
“Rawa Kechari” a sweet made here in tamizhnadu is saffron coloured (ariticial powder is used). May be “Kechari” is one of the names of “chivan” (fire).. so, this name “Kechari” was given to that sweet made of broken rawa (broken wheat). “Kunkuma Poo” (kesar) is also called in english as Saffron this flower is used as a flavour and colour to enhance the taste of milk. Kashmir is famous for saffron.
“Kunkumam” (red coloured powder and liquid) in tamizh is “bindi” in hindi. “pinaka” the name is attached with Chivan so “bindi” would mean “piNathee” the fire of chivan. (sun). “PiNam” in tamizh is dead body and “thee” is fire, the “Chithai” (chitah). Where we apply “bindi” the centre..it is the place of “third eye”(wisdom).
GUJARATI and MARATHI are names related to the worship of Murukan (cock). Kucharathee would mean “ku”, water and “chalam” again water “Ara”n” the protector and “thee” the fire.. ie., the Sun the protector of water.. and… “Mara” is kumaran and Thee is fire…again same meaning both ku”ma” (water) and ra (the protector, the fire, the SUN). These names show the tamizhan culture and nature of worshipping Sun God in those regions. The fire that was lit for all the humans, CHIVAN.
Paraatham (Bharatham)
Chaaratham (Charatham)
kucharaatham (kucharaatham)
maraatham (maraatham)
Punchaappa kechari (punjab kesari)
chaaru aachaan (chaaru haasan)
kamala aachaan (kamala haasan) (pineal gland) (naapi kamalam)
There are so many names given to chivan in tamizh. “Atham” holds both the beginning and the end..we dont know the detail of this “atham”.
Amma, Aaatha, Aaachi, Achan, Aaayi, Aiyya, Ayan, Annan (anna), Aaanthee (andy), Aran (the protector) all are some of the names created for SUN.
Chaaratham is prounounced as Sharda wrongly. Tamizh the creator of words.
Chivan the Messiah operated for all.
Messiah …Ma (mother) +Eechan (eesa)+ Aiyaa (master).
When the prounciation changes the true meaning also changes. TRUTH IS TRUTH.
Chivan is sending heat waves in abundance for Tamizhnadu, but the Govt. is not using it to produce solar power. I should appreciate Kerala Govt. for preparing plans for using solar power. Tamizhnadu is not tortoise but very much slow like snail and kerala is rabbit in this case. Knowledge is needed. Tamizhans know how to worship “Chivan” but wont think about his “power”. Foolishness. Convicts in Central Jail in Pujapra of Trivandrum, Kerala would get the benefits of solar power, they would use the power in the kitchen to make chappaatis with chicken gravy., 10,000 homes are going to get solar power for domestic purposes. The question is What are we tamizhans doing? Please do not forget to put the switch off, i see the street lights glow even in daytime. Learn how to save electricity. Coming are rainy days..save drops of rain for harvesting. Be friendly with neighbour states. Let them use water and if there is excess tell them to release.
From “ICHAKI AMMAN” of Thirunelveli District, deep south city of Tamizhnadu to “ESKIMO” of Alaska, EECHAN (Eeesa) and AMMAN (Ma) are ruling…Enough for today…Chivan is not stimulating my pineal gland (naapi Kamalam), i hope he would start stimulating my brain if i ever talk about UMA (Kanyakumari). Chivan is very very sensitive natured…Uma should be obedient….Chiva Chiva … Kumaara ……keep chanting this you will get “Raama”..one of the names of Sun and Water (Ra and Ma)
hey all of you..i am back to pour my emotions. :) i have to..if not i would be blabbering at home at the same time irritating all the members also…ok…now..what? New party is introduced today but not the name i am sure. whatever the name…we, the people of india want fertile india with people smiley faced :) i know life is all about ups and down … but in india there are so many villages still do not have proper basic facilities like road, water, hospital, school, colleage, bank etc.etc. What are we going to do for those innocent villagers? We, the city people should not neglect villagers..they are producing grains and vegetables for us all..is it not? ok..Congratulations for the new political party introduced by Mr.Arvind Kejariwal and his supporters. May God help the new team to fulfil the basic needs of the people. The team members should understand, help and co-operate each other to see future full of brightness with happiness. :) First, Krishi Darshan… pind vich sab theek hai ki nahi?
Pind in punjabi means village….Pindam in tamizh means the core as well as flesh. If we apply the meaning of “core” for village it would be proper because before civilisation started there was only village life so, neglecting villages would affect the economy of the country badly. Think abt it deeply.
OK. before going to enjoy ?? holidays, cant predict anything :) i want to sing a tamizh old song i dont know why for the last 3 days i have been singing this song, :) in the film Great Actor, Late Mr.Sivaji Ganesan sang this song and Saurashtran Singer T.M.Saundraraajan had sung this beautifully with emotions. the lyrics of this song follows. Both the legends are remembered today. Legends are Legends always.
“Paloooti valartha kili
Pazham koduthu paartha kili
Naan valartha pachai kili
Naalai varum kacherikku
Chellamma…..Enthan Chellammaa….Chellamma….Enthan Chellaamma..
Translation, i had been giving this green parrot milk and fruits with love, this parrot would come to attend the function tomorrow…. :)
Without knowing the exact meaning why the actor was singing and what was the situation in the film..am singing now… tears from eyes too.. :)
TAMIZH AND MUSIC ARE MY SOUL :) .. Away from the narrow minded world :)
Tamizh Vaalka!! Isai Vaalka!
I am told in the film there is a clash between a dutiful and kind old father and a adopted brat. Why adopted son is so adamant and thankless? Is it because they come to kno one day tht his father and mother both are not his real parent. Confusion. Ok….Kacheri in tamizh means court of law its not function. mistake happens sometimes.
Tamizhans remember always good hearted people. Its very difficult to get good name from them. They are very soft hearted and generous people. Thats why so many devils are still enjoying here. Raj Pakse does not belong to the tamizh soil of Ilankai and he is remembered as a ill hearted person and his speech as “devil’s speech”..He murdered lakhs of tamizhans in their own soil. History does not forget anything. Tamizhans are exploited in Ilankai. Both India and Srilanka have committed sin cant be erased. NEVER.
Mr.Vaiko has done a noble job for the tamizhans, history shall remember him forever. There is a need to make the people of this world to understand what is actually going on here in India. The govt. which is responsible for committing crimes against tamizhans any time should be observed carefully. God has forgotten to fix hearts in them. We have been giving them continuously but they cant be satisfied. They are full of greediness. How can they ever put their feet on the holy land of TAMIZHANS without guity conscience. Both BJP and CONGRESS if they are knowing the real meaning of “deed” then they should not come to tamizhnadu to ask for votes. Exploitation.
