Not surprised, even Tamil in general is not spoken by many urban Tamils if I go by their online posts and rants about Tamglish, if entire languages are dying then what chances do regional and community specific dialects stand before the English onslaught, if you speak in pure Tamil or Telugu, you are a backward man from a strange planet if you are not a politician or religious preacher.
Oh and for Hindi if you speak shudh Hindi, not only are you a backward person but a Hindu fascist out to destroy the "secular fabric" of this country.
