Not only Singapore Indian can speak Tamil, Malaysia Indian can speak Tamil as well
Some similar tamil words and their meanings: Naal - Day Naan - me Nee - you Ulla va - come inside Pul - grass Paampu (bam) - snake Vaa - come Amma - mother Appa - Father Aariro(ஆராரோ)Thalatu - Lullaby for baby (Similar to Aarirang song in Korean) Akkachi - elder sister (southern slang) Ammani - Calling a girl with respect (coimbatore slang) like ommoni in korean Aiyo - Aigu Sandai - Fight Yean - why Anni - sister in law Athae - that's it (or ) yes in tamil Thae or dhae is yes in korean I guess... Arivom - To know (similar to aaro in korean) Ingu - here, Ithu - This (in korean igu means this ) Aay - child (in olden tamil Eg : Most of tamil goddesses have 'aay' in ending like Maariaayi (goddess of rain)) Pun - sore /wound Kattayam - must do Manam - Mind (mauem) Pal - teeth (ippal) In tamil we cry like "appa" when got a wound or feel a pain Konjam konjam - a little (like joguem joguem in korean) Also we have a lot of similar rice based delicacies in Tamil Nadu, which are somehow similar to Korean ones, also we use a sesame and sesame oil in lot of dishes in Tamil Nadu, also the rituals relating to the 49 days after the death of a close family person are quite similar in both people.. The princess who came to Korea from India and married Kim Suro, was known as Heo Hwang-ok, who also brought a lot of her servants and other people from her country, which probably influenced the Tamil words into the Korean language.. also Southern India traded a lot my maritime route to SEA and China, also maybe to Korea too? The Gimhae Kim lineage traces their ancestry back to this Kim Suro and Heo Hwang-ok .. also Heo clan derives it name from the princess, as she was the only princess in Korean history to have her own surname carry over by some of her children..
We have many Tamil speakers in Myanmar too. We even have very ornate Tamil Hindu temples in some places.
As a Sri Lankan Tamil girl born and raised in the UK, thank you so much for mentioning that there are Tamil speaking people in Sri Lanka.☺️

American woman double thinking about her decision to be a part of this video 🤣😂 Why am i even here 😂
Hello everyone! It’s the Tamil girl here (once again 😆). I just want to clarify a few things to avoid any misunderstandings. First and foremost, the purpose of this video is not to promote Tamil Nadu as a state, but rather to explore the Tamil language and its interesting similarities with Korean. In doing so, I’ve shared some historical context about Tamil to help explain how these connections may have come about. I have the utmost respect for all languages and regions, and this video is not intended to disrespect or diminish any others. Regarding the mention of Tamil as one of the oldest languages in the world (0:19), I am aware that the age of languages cannot be calculated with absolute precision. However, there's substantial linguistic and historical evidence that Tamil is among the oldest surviving languages, and that’s the point I was trying to make. As for the mention of Tamil being a Dravidian language, it’s what I was taught in school and that’s the understanding I conveyed in the video. However, there were several comments in the previous video suggesting that Tamil may not be part of the Dravidian language family. If you're interested in that perspective, I encourage you to look into it further. I am sure there are plenty of resources available online. and lastly, as for the story of Queen Heo Hwang-ok, I’m not an expert in that area, and I’ve come across a wide range of interpretations and debates surrounding it. That’s why I chose not to delve too deeply into the topic. If you're interested, I encourage you to look up Queen Heo Hwang-ok, King Kim Suro, or the Samguk Yusa and the Princess of Ayuta for more information. Thank you for understanding, and I am grateful everyone engaging with the content respectfully! it's always fun to learn more 😄
As a Tamil she knows so little about her mother language. 😢
I appreciate her bringing up the history at last because the history was mind of got mixed up and yeah they say it's a hindi princess but in reality it's a princess from tamil nadu from the place that's gone for long now
Not just words, I found it strange when I found out many games in Squid games series are very native to Tamils as well. There is definitely some kind of connection between Tamils and Korean
North Indian here learning Tamizh Amazing video
As a Tamilan who knows a intermediate korean . I think it is far easier for me to learn korean through tamil then with english because the grammer of tamil is the same as of korean.
Many believe that Queen Heo Hwang-ok, the legendary queen of Korea’s Gaya kingdom, came from Ayodhya in North India. But over 2000 years ago, Ayodhya was known as Saketa— the name "Ayuta", mentioned in Korean chronicles, doesn't match. Instead, "Ayuta" closely resembles the ancient "Ay" kingdom in Tamil Nadu, ruled alongside the powerful "Pandya dynasty". These Tamil kingdoms were renowned for their maritime strength and international trade, making it highly possible that "Queen Heo was a Tamil princess — Sembavalam"— sent across the seas as part of a royal alliance. Even more compelling, it’s said the queen carried a **coin or medallion marked with a fish**, the **royal emblem of the Pandya dynasty**. This symbol, deeply rooted in Tamil identity, reinforces the idea that the queen’s origins were Tamil. The linguistic similarities between Tamil and Korean today may be echoes of this ancient connection — a forgotten bridge between two rich cultures.
Tamil is also my mother tongue im from malaysia but im malaysian tamilan
Tamil is not the language it’s mother of the language❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tamil is a mysterious language and truly seems to be the oldest in the world and it's cool, because you can track the languages that came out of this language and see the real meaning of some words that have been forgotten in Tamil and for example, the word "god" is the craziest one, because if you do deep analysis, it was likely created as a word given to people who were "wise ascetics healers who were meditating on a mountain and observing the sky", back then they were regular people who were outcasts, but knew how to track time and predict some stuff with their sky observance, so people were going to them for advice, healing, knowledge, etc. Later on meaning of this word changed into something like "one who transcends" or "one who is beyond". This becomes obvious as you realize all old Indian gods were somehow connected or described as meditating ascetic people who ascended. There's still a chance that I am wrong, but if not, then this secret knowledge could end all religions on the planet.. well not really, people will always find some meaning. But either way, this language is keeping many secrets in every corner, so it's cool to study for sure, people should give it more attention.
வாழ்க தமிழ் ❤ வளர்க தமிழ் ❤
