Uyirum Tamizhum

Tamil language has a very long heritage, thanks to that… Tamil became one of the most cultivated and structured languages! Traditional grammarians have classified and named the letters of this language quite meaningfully as well as beautifully! The letters are known as ‘elutu’. Tamil has 12 vowels and 1 ayutha eluthu.

consonants which are classified as ‘Mutal Elutukkal’ (Primary letters) owing to the fact that these can operate without the need of any other letter (or letter combination). The vowels are termed as ‘uyir elutukkal’ (‘uyir’ meaning ‘life’ or ‘soul’) and the consonants are called ‘mei elutukkal’ (‘mei’ meaning ‘body’)
