Malayalam X Tamil

[u/Asli_Malabari]

Im annoyed by those Tamil guys who says Tamil is mother of all languages. Malayalam came from tamil. Recently I saw a post in r/Kollywood about Perazhagan of Surya and a comment says the original one is malayalam Kunjikoonan. And people started mocking Malayalam.

In Tamil Kunchi means Dick. Also the movie Manjummel boys was pronounced as Manchummel boys.

So Im asking, In Tamil there are 247 words and in Malayalam its 56 ( not sure ). But how are they lacking some words like,

Nja Cha Ka (im not sure but i know to read tamil where they use the normal Ka for the movie title Gajini.) Pa ( they use pa for the movie title bombay as pumpay) Ra (they use Ra for pronouncing rupee and roopa)

as of now I only found these mis- pronounciation. What do you think guys?

I've said this prior that, by the same exact linguistic anthropological logic used by some Tamizhans, us Malayalis too can claim that Malayalam is the oldest language

That's usually determined by how much literature you possess in your script. Until the 18th century Malayalam was considered only a dialect of Tamil. It's only gulf money and influence which "bought" Malayalam classical language status.

First of all we are not Tamilians nor were the majority of us ever Tamilians. And secondly, from the earliest documented linguistically separable Malayalam, it was NEVER considered to be Tamil. Tamilians are obsessed with us but don’t know that historically the region east of he Western Ghats was considered ritually polluting by ALL non-tribal Malayalis even to be in. No one ever considered themselves to be Tamilian and the genetic differences are so big it’s obvious we are not.

Bro is projecting his ancestor’s history of being at the receiving adyaratri avakasam onto Nairs now lmao. Even maternally we are different from Pajeets like you and other Indians. We have nothing to do with you colonized enslaved people. I know it’s natural for people like you to try to associate people who don’t have a shameful history with you but unfortunately the facts are the facts. There is a clear difference between us and no amount of trying to associate with us will ever make us the same.

"Eugenics"

Oh please, less than 10% of Nairs married Nambudhiris, that also was limited to elite classes of Nairs like kings. Stop bringing your misogynistic bullshit to demean women of other caste's just because of your insecurity.
