  • In this video we are Tamil and Malay by showcasing a list of common words between the two languages and finishing off with a couple of sentences. The Tamil representative in the video is Madhumitha who hails from the city of Chennai (Madras) in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, and the Malay representative is Hanna, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

    Malay (Bahasa Melayu / بهاس ملايو) is a major language of the Austronesian family spoken in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore and also used in some parts of the Philippines as a trading language. Prior to the arrival of Islam in Southeast Asia, the Pallava, Nagari, and old Sumatran scripts were used in writing the Malay language. As their rulers converted to Islam, and the religion began to spread across the region, a modified form of the Arabic script (Jawi) was formed. The arrival of the Europeans brought the Latin script, and in recent times, the Latin-derived Rumi alphabet has become the most commonly used for both official and informal purposes.
    Tamil (தமிழ்) is a Dravidian language and is one of the longest-surviving classical languages in the world. It is predominantly spoken by the Tamil people of India and Sri Lanka, as well as a large community of Tamil speakers outside that region. In addition to Sri Lanka, Tamil also has official language status in Singapore, the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the Indian Union Territory of Puducherry. Tamil is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India. Tamil literature has a classical tradition of its own which is very rich and spans more than two thousand years. Among the many historical works, the five Tamil epics Jivaka-chintamani, Cilappatikaram, Manimekalai, Kundalakesi and Valayapathi are together known as The Five Great Epics of Tamil Literature. The earliest known literary work in Malayalam is Ramacharitam, an epic poem written by Cheeraman. The Kannada language is usually divided into three linguistic phases: Old (450-1200 CE), Middle (1200-1700 CE) and Modern (1700-present) and its literary characteristics are categorized as Jain, Lingayatism and Vaishnava-recognizing the prominence of these three faiths in giving form to classical expression of the language, until the advent of the modern era. Telugu literature also contains many masterpieces, including historical ones such as Andhra Maha Bhagavatamu (Pothana Bhagavatam) by Pothana (బమ్మెర పోతన), Basava Purana, Panditaradhya charitra, Malamadevipuranamu and Somanatha Stava by Palkuriki Somanatha, Sumati Satakam by Baddena Bhupaludu, Kanyasulkam by Gurajada Apparao, Gayopakhyanam by Chilakamarti Lakshmi Narasimham, and many others!

      One thing worth knowing is that speakers of Tamil and Malay have had contact with each other dating back to more than a millennium ago, since both Tamil-speaking and Malay-speaking territories were part of the pre-modern spice trade route. In addition, it is said that Tamil-speaking Muslims played a major, influential role in spreading Islam to Southeast Asia. In fact, the black fez (known in Malaysia as songkok and in Indonesia as peci) was popularised by South Indian Muslims.

    Malaysian Malay has more Tamil influence than, say, Sumatran/Bornean Malay dialects or Indonesian thanks to the sizable Tamil population in Malaysia. One thing I am thankful about Indian Malaysians are the food, you can’t go wrong with mee mamak, teh tarik, or roti canai! Cheers from Indonesia!
    For those wondering the differences between our two countries, for example we don’t use Tamil loanwords in Malay like 1:40 “misai” and 2:21 “katil” in Indonesian, we use original Austronesian terms of “kumis” instead for mustache and “ranjang” or “tempat tidur” for bed. We don’t really use pinggan, acuan, etc either. One thing to note is that these Tamil loanwords in Malay also exist in our dictionary but they’re not common.
    BTW “kuda” is actually a loanword from Sanskrit via Prakrit “ghoda” so that’s why it’s not that similar to “kutirai” in Tamil.

Long time ago, most of the religious text was in sanskrit and Palembang was once a varsity or university for those coming and going to India or China. It was said that a lot of scripture were stolen when Chola invaded Palembang.

Even though It influenced by other languages like (English , sanskrit , persian and so on). It's original Tamil word didn't extinct... so, I did some research and made a conclusion that both (muthirai and ulogam) are Tamil words... Hope this will help u understand.. Thank you

      Some Malay word also loan or absorbed word from Javanese (ethnic originally from Indonesia but migrated to Malaysia long time ago and became Malaysian)
      Some word are Same but not commonly use between Malaysian and Indonesian.
      Like Bed as mentioned above.

    Sadly, this is a lot more to do with Malay borrowing Tamil words than languages being related. This is not like comparing two related languages at all, it is just like taking the English word “coincidence” to the French word “coïncidence” or Italian “coincidenza” - so similar! (Because it is a loan word). It doesn’t make English a Romance language. Or more extreme- typhoon and Italian “tifone”, both are loan words from a Greek/Arabic/Chinese (you decide, I always was taught Chinese).

    1. Both languages have been influenced by Sanskrit in ancient times.
    2. Malay may have been influenced by Tamil in ancient times due to contact with Pallavas and Cholas.
    3. Both Tamil and Malay may have had some mutual influence on each other in Malaysia in modern times.

    Haha glad she pointed out shoes at the end which is indeed the same meaning and word in Malay that is "sepatu" as per our Malay Dictionary (Kamus Perpustakaan). But we commonly use "kasut" instead of sepatu. There are more loanwoards from Tamil such as roti (rotti), mempelam (māmpazham), kolam (kulam), kakak (Akka), saudara (sagodharar), and one of the most famous dish in Malaysia Satay was also derived from the word "Satai/Sathai" means flesh. The rest of Malay is a combination of Sanskrit and Urdu, Arab, Portuguese and English.

      Out of all that you mentioned,
      1) Roti is from Hindi( Tamils didn't eat wheat like the North Indians until the late 20th century CE). They brought or popularized the recipe from Bollywood movies.
      2) kulam is from Sanskrit( which means clan), but Kolam is Tamil for colorful drawings( Rangoli in Hindi).
      3)Sahodhara( meaning sibling) is originally a Sanskrit word, which got tamilised to Sagodara( brother), original Tamil word for sibling is Utanpirappu. Rest all words along with the video are very much of centamizh origins.

Actually, we Indo-aryans lost the distinction between vowel lengths totally( our scripts do have it, for writing Sanskrit and singing in metres) so I always marvel at the keenness of Dravidians to maintain even lengthy vowel lengths historically, y'all as a linguistic family stayed closer to Proto-Dravidian overall, than say us to Sanskrit, let alone PIE.

      @@infinite5795 it's because Tamizh was not only used in scriptures or literatures but also majorly used for verbally speaking in terms of communication among the ppl those days (from India to South East Asia). Meanwhile Sanskrit has been used vastly on scriptures for studying purposes and puja upachara which were most commonly spoken by a specific community such as Brahmins. In other words Tamizh is like more Indigenous to the natives of India (as you said Proto-Dravidian) and so ppl used to speak it more that has branched into many dialects among them from Old Tamil. It is also stated that Tamizh was the Southern language of India centuries ago and North was known as Ariyam(Aryan) and Samskrutham was known AriyaMozhi(Aryan's language) in one of the oldest Thamizh literature of Siddhas. 😊
