Brian has mastered the most difficult zha in tamizh which is amazing. Even South Indians don't pronounce it well esp the 3 L sounds. The Tamilians themselves mess it up. Brian's love for the tamizh language is much more than Tamilians themselves Quoting Mahakavi Bharatiyar 😍 Appreciate Brian
அருமை சகோதரி! பேசிய நண்பரும் பாரதியார் பாடலைச் சொன்னதோடு, மதுரையில் தமிழ் கற்ற சுவையான அனுபவங்களை ச் சொன்னதும் இனிமையானது. தங்கள் தமிழ்ப்பணி தொடர வாழ்த்துகள் 🤝 நான் தமிழாசிரியராகப் பணியாற்றி ஓய்வு பெற்றவன் என்பதோடு கடந்த 2024-ஜுலையில் சான் அன்டோனியோ வந்து கவியரங்கத் தலைமையேற்றவன் என்னும் முறையில் பெருமகிழ்ச்சி அடைகிறேன் 🎉❤😊
தயவு செய்து வட நாட்டினர் தமிழை கற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள். நீங்க தமிழ் கற்று பேசினால் எங்களுக்கும் ஹிந்தி கற்க தோன்றும். ஒரு மேர்கதியவர் இவ்வளவு அழகாக தமிழை பற்றி பேசுவது நுணுக்கங்களை சொல்வது மிகவும் பாராட்டத்தக்கது. 🎉 ஒரே தேசத்தில் இருப்பினும் உலகத்தின் முதல் மொழியான தமிழை கற்க வட நாட்டினர் ஆர்வம் காட்டாது இருப்பது அவ்வளவு அழகல்ல.
Tamil is among the national language in Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia and significant Tamil diaspora world wide. Tamil music is really amazing. Good to see Brian appreciating it ❤
Very proud of you Bryan for learning and loving my mother tongue Thamizh. . I wish you are available here in the Bay Area to teach my grand kids who are very are eager to learn it but can’t find a good teacher.
Congrats!!! As native Tamil speaker, I must say it's hard to master this language. But, my best wishes on your journey to master it. By the way, shouldn't you say 'எல்லாருக்கும்' instead of 'எல்லாத்துக்கும்' when you refer a group of people?
North Indian girlz asking American how he learnt such difficult language.....😂 It's a lesson to all North Indian that they should learn at least one south Indian language. It will help connectivity better. Being Indian, it should be easy for them. All problem in Mumbai or Bangalore or in future [ Chennai or amaravathi [ andhra future capital ] is because North indians refuse to learn or speak local language.
@maverick792 Nobody is expected to do PhD in those languages. Wherever they are staying they can start trying to communicate with localites... and gradually they can pick up local language.
Not sure if you noticed.. The North Indian girl with glasses pronounced ‘ Tamil’ and Brian pronounced it correctly giving the emphasis to the last character .. like Thamizh.
I met Brian whose Tamil name is Karuppan in Berkeley at a Malaysian restaurant named Rasa Sayang back in 1996. I think it is the same Brian in this program. Brian, if you are out there, Vanakkam, I am glad you still have that burning desire to learn Tamil and be a part of it. Are you now in Tamil Nadu? I am in Puducherry on a longer stay. Would love to meet you if you are around. Regards, Babu
If you say Tamizh (தமிழ்) repeatedly it gives sounds of Amizhthu(அமிழ்து) meaning manna dews eg Nectare from heaven. It also gives different different meaning to the situation all in good sense. So think how richness in the Tamizh language. All people using pronouncing Tamil
Brian is a new golden asset to our olden Thamil பாஸ்ஷய் language. பாசை என்று சொன்னால் நமக்கு விழங்க முடியாத அளவுக்கு சமஸ்கிருதத்தை நமது தெளிர்ந்த நீரில் (தமிழ் பாசையை) கலந்து கெடுத்திருக்கிறார்கlள்.
Honestly he pronounced tamil better than both the lousey anchors put together. They had the whole 'oh i just can't bother or attempt to say it rightly' act. Typical. A middle schooler could have conducted a better interview.
Oh, where do I even begin? First off, CNN-News18, would it have been too much trouble to do a quick spell check before airing this? It’s Brian, not Brain-though after watching this interview, I wouldn’t blame Brian if he felt his brain cells slowly withering away. And speaking of withering, let’s talk about the host. Was it too much to ask for someone who actually knows a thing or two about Tamil? Or even how to pronounce it? I mean, really-Brian, an American, managed to say ‘Tamizh’ more authentically than your own host, who butchered it into something that sounded like ‘Taamil’-as if we were discussing a tropical island instead of one of the world’s oldest classical languages. Honestly, this is despicable-a national news channel, no less, showcasing this cringe-fest of cultural ignorance. Perhaps next time, you could find someone who doesn’t need a phonics class before discussing Tamil culture? Or better yet, someone who actually respects it enough to learn the basics beforehand? But hey, why stop at pronunciation? Maybe throw in some karaoke subtitles next time so we can follow along as the host stumbles through syllables like a toddler learning the alphabet. Do better, CNN-News18. Or just let Brian conduct the interviews next time. At least he knows how to say the word.
Why would they learn to pronounce it correctly? They have the whole "im too posh to give a damn" attitude about the whole thing. So typical. Lousey, haughty anchoring. Not a surprise at all.
Hi bro you dint choose the tamil language to learn but the tamil language chose you to learn her coz this language is something different which has a soul if u believe it will teach you many aspects of life and spiritual journey tamil language and its roots are way of life...
Bravo bro , Tamil is the only non sanskrit language spoken in india , and it's official language in Malaysia , Singapore, srilanka, Mauritius , Burma and it's world's first language with complete syntax
Beauty of Tamil --> As he said it is challenged to others " L" --> 'ல்' - He pronounced first , the second is 'ள்' , The third is 'ழ்' (Tough) the Fruit name is Banana ( பழம்) .
Americans knows the importance of a regional language that too with a oldest language in the world. But the north indians and central govt doesn't like the people Nd tamil
Unhappy with the Indian anchor who unnecessarily adds " which is not so simple" referring to the language that Brian learns. It reflects the mindset of the girl that is regrettable for the millions of Tamils who do consider their language as simple as any other language group consider their language as simple.
Brian's message to the host . Find me a better host or anchor who knows the language next time when discussing about nuances of a language.. Both anchors or hosts were staring like deer in headlights without an ounce of understanding. Unfortunately, they themselves are westernized who would look down upon their own mother tongues.. Yes i am being judgemental based on how carefully the hosts used English sentences but didn't care to enunciate Tamizh when Brian was enunciating it perfectly.. Kept repeating Tamil Tamil.. careful about their accents and didn't give two hoots or show some curiosity to learn it.. To top it one of the hosts did a fake glorification about the beauty of Indian languages when your context is Tamizh.. Very Generalization cum stereotypical answer is just an indication of "As if I care" attitude.
thamizhukku 'Zha' azhagu..... wow.. really appreciate Brian's dedication and affiliation towards the language ! this... many shameless native Tamilians themselves dont get it nor do they make an effort to learn it !!
You know, the reporters are muted by their understanding of the language. the interactions bw them could have been better if the reporter had known some things in and around tamizh.
My mother tongue is Tamil. I am speaking it daily. But still the grammar of this language is very difficult. I feel sorry that current generation is losing the nuances of this language. Moreover, you many be a Tamilian but the littérature as old ad 2000 years are not easily understood. Many people do not know Thirukural itself. Someone has explain those lines otherwise just reading won't suffice. 😊
Brian's soul is Tamil. Stay strong Brian.
Exactly, past birth's continuation🎉
Love it when people say tamizh instead of Tamil.
it is not even tamizh, It is Thamizh @sazztazz
fascinating to hear proper tamil pronunciation from this foreigner. Good job Brian
glad to see the efforts but someone need to emphasize how to pronounce the sounds properly, the rolling of the tongue and other technique which will help talk the language better

Glad that Brain have nailed it, ofcourse Tamil is ancient, oldest and mother of most languages!
Sanskrit is the oldest - the language of IVC, that's recently proved by US based Indian cryptographer
தமிழ் மக்கள் பின்பற்றும் ஒவ்வொரு செயல்பாடுகள் மற்றும் நடைமுறைகளுக்கு பின்னால் அறிவியல் உள்ளது. நாம் நமது கலாச்சாரத்தை பின்பற்ற வேண்டும்.

Sonal, Thanks for the interview. It was a great conversation. I enjoyed walking down the memory lane.

Who wouldn't love a beautiful language thats been spoken for more than 3000 years old and still thriving! ❤
Do you love Sanskrit - by the same logic?
Glad that he is pronouncing 'zha' correctly than any other Tamil youtubers!

There are more than 20 languages in India. People got work to do than keep learning languages.

Not sure if you noticed.. The North Indian girl with glasses pronounced ‘ Tamil’ and Brian pronounced it correctly giving the emphasis to the last character .. like Thamizh.
In chennai, more Rajasthanis jains learnt tamil and speak fluently, and Gujarathis sowrasta caste people in madurai speaks tamil fluently.

Great efforts and sincere hard work driven by your passion. Salute your persistence.
Tamizh grammer is way too beautiful, for those mathematically inclined.
And no Tamil news channel has him interviewed?
Brahmin controlled !
Finally true comes out thanks 👍
He pronounces rl sound properly than many Tamils

Change name to sanmugam instead of shanmugam and then come here. Bye for now
Anchors not understanding a word of Tamil 😂🤣😅
The reaction for pooii sonnan,,,,, and poison sonnan not sounding, feeling good. Grow up girl.
Honestly he pronounced tamil better than both the lousey anchors put together. They had the whole 'oh i just can't bother or attempt to say it rightly' act. Typical. A middle schooler could have conducted a better interview.
This is a sure sign of a past life association as a Tamizhan. Although reincarnated as an American, his Tamil roots are strong.
Surprised he has not spoken on the rich Tamil literature and the bhakti literature which is one of greatnessof Tamil not merely the sweetness ..

4:25 | The interviewer should self-introspect what was in her mind during that "Hmmm" for the first time, and when it was repeated few more times.

The least you could do for a gentleman who has taken the trouble of learning one of our languages is to spell his name right in the caption.
