The Tamils have an unbroken history of more than two thousand years. Tamil, the language they speak, is one of the oldest living languages in the world. The only people comparable to the Tamils in terms of their hoary past and vibrant present would be the Jews with one marked difference. The Tamils have always had their homeland 'Tamilaham' (alternately pronounced and spelt 'Tamizhaham') known today as Tamil Nadu which to them represents their mother and is revered by them as 'Tamizh Tai' literally ‘Tamil Mother’. This is in striking contrast to the Jews who have been through a long and arduous struggle to gain their homeland, a deeply contested site to this day with Hebrewisation of Israel being a key marker of Jewish identity in the region. Tamils, by contrast have a clear numerical majority in the region that now comprises Tamil Nadu and the language unites rather than divides adherents of different faiths. The second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Tamils contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Tamils.

Excerpt from English and Tamil Dictionary: Containing All the More Important Words in Dr. Webster's Dictionary of the English Language IN preparing this second edition of the english and tamil dictionary, all the words in Dr. Webster's complete work, which are thought to be of practical utility to missionaries or civilians among the Tamil people, or to Tamil youth who are studying the English language, have been most carefully added to the old edition, and each word defined by one or more Tamil synonyms. The different shades of signification and some idioms are arranged under each word, forming, to a considerable extent, a substitute for a phrase book. As the words are divided, accentuated, and defined according to Dr. Webster's latest edition, the work will be to all Tamil lads who study English, to a great degree, a substitute for an English Dictionary. The Tamil synonyms may be depended upon, with a very few unavoidable exceptions, as good classic words, which are generally arranged so that those most common are placed first. Mathematical, astronomical, and other scientific words, are those taken from native works, as far as such works have been examined, and in foreign words, the synonyms are made from pure Tamil or Sanscrit combinations. A single word is always preferred to a description. In a very few cases, where it was thought the learner would be assisted, repeti tions have been allowed.
