Abstract

Progress hinges on adaptation. Technology, thought, processes, art, and culture all evolve, gaining relevance through transformation. History teaches us that stagnation leads to decay and eventual obsolescence. This truth applies to language as much as anything else. Modern Tamil has diverged significantly from the language of two millennia ago, reflecting shifts in lifestyle and circumstances. However, the foundational grammars that govern the language haven't kept pace. While calls for modernization emerge periodically, actual implementation lags. This paper explores the vital opportunities, norms, and methodologies for developing a new grammar that aligns with contemporary usage, prepares the language for future generations, and elevates Tamil on a global scale, all while respecting and building upon its classical foundations.
