Language.... something which is very vital for our livelihood.... something that we use to communicate our thoughts.... (which we even use to hide our thoughts)
For me even silence is a language... which conveys many meanings.....
Some time back, I came across an interesting article about the development and origin of languages... an information about the language Tamil...
Tamil, as a lingo has got
(a) vowels -ex., a, aa, e, ee, vu, vuuu, yae, yaaeee, ai, oh, oooh , ow - (referred as 12 Uyir Letters) and
(b) consonants - ex., ik, ing, ich, iny, it, in, ith, inn, ip, im, etc (referred as 18 Mei Letters)...
these vowels and consonants form the basic letters of the language (called as UyirMei)
Stop Not! there is a peculiar letter called as "akkkk" (that is "aaidha" letter). what is so peculiar about this "akkk"... the letter is denoted by the symbol three dots forming a triangle.... you invert the triangle, it is again a triangle... anyway it resembles one and the same... that which is out of any change...
In ancient literatures, uyir letters are called as "Male letters" and Mei letters are called as "Feminine" letters.
And the male letters are classified into two:
1. Soft Men - Kuril - a, e, vu, yae, oh (short vowels)
2. Hard Men - Nedil -aa, ee, vuu, yaaee, oooh, etc (long vowels)
Feminine letters are classified into three:
1. Vallinam - Hard Natured - ka, sa, da, tha, pa, rra (so hard to pronounce)
2. Mellinam - Soft Natured - nga, nya, na, nna, ma, naa (using nostrils to pronounce - not so rigid)
3. Idayinam - Mediocre Natured - ya, ra, la, va, zha, lla (mediocre difficulty in pronounciation)
Lets learn a little bit of Tamil grammar here:
Principle 1: when this letter "akkk" has to be used in formation of words?
Answer: When a kuril is joined with the vallinam then this "akkk" has to be introduced in-between.
ex., "a" is a kuril.... "thu" (any form of tha) is a vallinam.. when we join it we get "athu" or bingo!!! "akthu..."
Genetic Formula:
A lesson that is derived from nature here is that... when a Hard Natured woman mates with a Soft Men, then in between what you get is an Eunuch.!!!!????
If we apply this theorem and categorize men and women and try to find out whether this formula really works in practical scenarios, there seems to be a positive reply. There is a research report on that (the article that I read claimed that! but not sure of the report)
Really I wonder how people imbibed genetic theory into the Grammatical Rules of the language.... Still more research can be done of these lines, decoding the language from a genetic perspective...
