How do you sound in Tamil?

At the moment, as of Monday, January 24, 2011, I'm not taking Tamil, and am having to wait until December 2011 But that doesn't mean at all that I've stopped my interest in and love for the language So anyways, let's see how we all sound in Tamil Click here for Michael's file

Quite unsurprisingly, I sound better in Tamil than I do in Portuguese I read the UDHR in Tamil, and yes, I did get the source text from Omniglot.com!

மனிதப் பிறவியினர் சகலரும் சுதந்திரமாகவே பிறக்கின்றனர்; அவர்கள் மதிப்பிலும் உரிமைகளிலும் சமமானவர்கள். அவர்கள் நியாயத்தையும் மனசாட்சியையும் இயற்பண்பாகப் பெற்றவர்கள். அவர்கள் ஒருவருடனொருவர் சகோதர உணர்வுப் பாங்கில் நடந்துகொள்ளல் வேண்டும்.

You sound like someone from Jaffna (Sri Lanka), not from Tamil Nadu

So I sound like someone from Tamil Eelam instead of Tamil Nadu? Does that mean I sound more Malayalam? That's fine, as long as I sound like any Tamil, I'm happy. You should record yourself reading something in Tamil, TeneReef (You too, Meera!)

I'm missing Tamil sooo much right now. I miss those sexy letters, and those superfluous words I still keep up the Tamil vocabulary though that I managed to learn in 2 months

I miss Tamil too, at least I've mastered the alphabet including the ligatures.

Lol I think you sound more from Jaffna because you sound more formal Tamil. People in Sri Lanka often tell that Tamil's in India have murdered their langauge But you also have a slight Malyali accent so if you go to Tamil Nadu you can tell people your Malyali Also I would record myself but I think you all would laugh because my Tamil sounds like a Hindi person trying to speak Tamil Actaully almost all my weak langauges sound like a Hindi Person trying to speak it. I was in a Turkish place the other day and started speaking in a little Turkish and the person asked if I was Indian
