Tamil (தமிழ்) is a Dravidian language with around 83 million speakers, official in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry (India), Sri Lanka and Singapore. India recognised Tamil as a classical language in 2004 — it has the longest unbroken literary tradition of any living Indian language, going back to Sangam-era anthologies from the 3rd century BC. It also has a distinctive 'high' literary form (cenTamiZ) alongside the spoken language.
Tamil uses an agglutinative SOV grammar, eight cases marked by suffixes, and a clear inclusive/exclusive 'we' distinction (நாம் nām vs நாங்கள் nāṅkaḷ). It distinguishes rational from irrational nouns rather than masculine/feminine. The Tamil abugida has only 12 vowels and 18 consonants, but combinations produce 247 letters in total — far fewer than Devanagari or Bengali yet able to write all common Tamil syllables.
