About the Book:- |
In the heart of Tamil Nadu, a rich tapestry of culture and heritage unfolds as we delve into the linguistic diversity of the state's indigenous tribes. In this unique dictionary, we embark on a captivating voyage through the words and expressions of eight remarkable tribal communities: Kanikkaran, Muduvan, Kadar, Eravallan, Urāļi, Kalrayan Malayali, Pachaimalai Malayali, and Villiyan. The dictionary offers a comparative perspective, juxtaposing the literary Tamil word (LT) with the corresponding tribal speech forms from these eight communities. Each entry provides a glimpse into the intricate web of languages and dialects spoken by these tribes, offering insights into their cultural heritage, history, and daily lives. As we traverse through this linguistic landscape, we discover the resilience of these tribes, who, while living in Tamil Nadu, have managed to preserve their unique languages and dialects. The dictionary not only serves as a linguistic resource but also as a testament to the rich linguistic heritage of Tamil Nadu's indigenous tribes. With a focus on documenting and celebrating the diversity of indigenous languages, this dictionary stands as a valuable contribution to the field of linguistics, anthropology, and cultural studies. It is an invitation to explore, appreciate, and honor the linguistic and cultural wealth that thrives within the state's tribal communities. Join us on this enlightening journey through the words, sounds, and meanings that bind these tribal communities to their roots and illuminate the intricate linguistic tapestry of Tamil Nadu's indigenous heritage. |
