Singapore has four official langauges : English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil

They are having a general election now and parties are making political broadcasts. I have noticed that almost all of them include English , Mandarin and Malay but so far I have not heard anything in Tamil - why ?









Heck one of them even spoke Cantonese

Unless you are fucking stupid or something just to be clear tamil is the oldest language in India and during Chola's reign it had most of South East Asia under its grip which is why you see a lot of Thai and Indonesian names which are similar to tamil. Tamil Kingdom under the Chola dynasty was one of the largest besides Asoka of the north . Also tamil is as old as sanskrit. So before talking from your ass use your brain and produce facts.

There is 1800 words which are similar. The region of Ayuta was disputed whether it was north or south india but the first princess of Korea was from india based on Korea's on historical evidence.

Tamil came from South India, which is much superior place than poverty and rape ridden, infested North India.

Yep North India Delhi are of Aryan Persian ethnicity is different from Dravidian south. A lot of ignorant monkeys will say both the same. However India also consist of Mongoloid North East Indian whose population is 60 million and look more Chinese/Mongolian then anything. India is very diverse.

This one is north east india and yes they are indians.

There has been a battle between tamil and sanskrit as of which is the older language but Hindi is a way newer language.

The Chola Dynasty was from the south hence it would be easy to conclude that their influence here if anything would be more of south indian tamil culture.

Well Wiki did reference from Korea's national archive =) There were three Ayutha, 2 of which were from India and 1 belong to thailand. But Ayuthya in Thailand was ruled out because the Korean dynastry was founded earlier then the thai Ayuthya only came into existence at 1350CE.

It is tamil. Again tamil and sanskrit bound to have a lot of similarities as these two are equally old.
