Comments/contents:
Tamil is a Dravidian language that has been in use for the past two thousand years at least, and is the second classical language in India after Sanskrit. It is spoken in the Indian states of Tamilnadu and Pondicherry, parts of Srilanka and Singapore (where it is an official language), but also in Malaysia, Mauritius and among the diaspora in Canada, the USA, etc. Tamil is diglossic, meaning, people speak and write the language differently. I this one-year course, we will learn to read Tamil literature, beginning with accessible, contemporary prose, and progressively moving to more challenging literature, like poems from the first millennium. Although the focus will be on literary Tamil, parallels between literary and spoken Tamils will be discussed systematically. Although anyone can join this class, those who do are requested to learn the script over the summer, before class begins.
