Tamil muslims have a greater adoption of Tamil language. How is the adoption of Telugu among muslims in Andhra? Do they use the word "nomu" in their language?
[right][snapback]73229[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Their greater adoption of Tamil is only because it helps them in the environment of TN politics. If they are perceived as being anti-Tamil (by peddling Urdu), then it won't suit their agenda at all...(Islamification of Tamil Nadu). So these groups (Christians/Muslims) have to adopt Tamil and play the role of being great Tamil lovers, they have no other choice if they want to achieve their goals.

When I was in Chennai last, two of the stores my sis and I stopped by at were muslim-owned and operated where some of the personnel could not speak in Tamil. (Did not notice this in the other islamic-owned stores we happened to wander into.) In fact, in one of these two shops, <i>only</i> the store manager could speak Tamil <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo--> I could not recognise the language the others were speaking to each other in or tried to reply to our questions in. It sounded very alien, not any S Indian languages, not Hindi, not anything I'd come across ever.
One of those religious dudes with their caps on and unversed in Tamil was glaring at us angrily all the short time we were there. Poor islami, us kaffirs must have hurt his eyes, but he needn't have worried, we didn't buy a thing <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> If they just move to W TSP or E TSP, they wouldn't have to stomach the sight of kaffirs, now would they - <i>and</i> they won't have to bother dealing with the kaffir-tongue of Tamil either.

I hope these guys aren't undercover terrorists: shop personnel unable to speak Tamil during the day and terrorism-plotter by night <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
