Abstract

Tamil is spoken in various countries around the world. The reason is that in ancient times, people who had Tamil as their mother tongue migrated around the world, and those who migrated developed the language in those places. Generally, all languages have their own unique grammar. Similarly, the Tamil language also has its own unique grammar. Among them, the book Tolkappiyam is the first and oldest book available in the Tamil language. The book, called Ezhuthathikaram, contains grammatical rules regarding the origin of letters and their sounds. This article aims to examine only one type of grammar, the kutriyalugara grammar, from among such grammars, and to compare it with Hangul, which is considered a Korean language, to find areas of similarity.
