About the Book:- |
"A Dictionary of Technical Terms of Animal Husbandry" is an invaluable and commendable effort that celebrates the unique harmony that the Tamils have shared with nature throughout their history, as depicted in Tolkappiyam and Caṅkam literature. This remarkable dictionary sheds light on the disappearing treasury of the Tamil language, particularly in the realm of livestock-related words, and serves as a crucial means to collect, preserve, and protect this valuable linguistic heritage. The book delves into the profound insights offered by Tolkappiyam and Caṅkam literature, which beautifully elaborate on the relationship between Tamils and animals, categorizing them into five tinais or landscapes. As we witness the gradual erosion of these once flourishing business case words, it becomes evident that the need to safeguard such terminology is of utmost importance to preserve the essence of Tamil culture and heritage. Each entry in the dictionary reveals not only the technical aspects of livestock management but also reflects the profound understanding and respect that Tamils have for the natural world. The book serves as a repository of linguistic treasures, ensuring that these special terms related to livestock are not lost to oblivion but cherished and passed down to future generations. In conclusion, "A Dictionary of Technical Terms of Animal Husbandry" is an essential work that pays homage to the natural harmony that has characterized the Tamil way of life throughout history. Its efforts to safeguard and protect the vanishing treasury of the Tamil language, specifically in the realm of livestock-related words, are commendable and worthy of appreciation. This book is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Tamil people's intimate connection with nature, serving as a valuable resource for preserving and cherishing the linguistic and cultural heritage of Tamil Nadu. |
