Is tamil derived from Sanskrit

[F.S.Gandhi vandayar]

Sarkarai= Sarukkarai=saru+karai. It is taken from 'Karumbu saru' . That's why sarukkarai=sarkarai=sakkra=sakura=sugura=sugar.

Think about the word Karu phonetical connotation with/rhymes with saru (root word for karai which means wall or 'suvar'). Suvar cannot be distorted. Karai also cannot be distorted from cloth.

When sugarcane saru spread on cloth it cannot be removed easily.


And Cheeni was from 'Srini'- Cheerni(tamil)= Cheer+n+e- 'Cheer' here means beauty. There was a custom in any language white and cleaniliness are called as beauty. Think about 'Cheer-sanathy' for bride.

Thiru or Srini means beauty.

for example the name srinivasan.
