Quest on Tamils & Tamil
I am pursuing two things in preparation for my trip to Tamil Nadu:-1) From what part(s) of Tamil Nadu, when and by what route did the Tamils (my ancestors) migrate to Sri Lanka?
2) Are there places in Tamil Nadu (or elsewhere) where the spoken Tamil language is similar to that in Sri Lanka?
Any comment or book on the above? I am 67, a retired engineer. I can speak Tamil but not as eloquently as Indian Tamils.
Best regards,
