		Of all the dialects of Tamil in the world, the one spoken in Madras is indisputably the most elegant and most popular, to say the least.
		While some may argue that the primary reason for this is the relative simplicity of the dialect, many consider the "broad-mindedness" the Madras folks have demonstrated in acclimating to the liberalization policy of the Indian govurmentu.
		The aesthetic quality of Madras Tamil comes from the fact that a classical (and old) language like Tamil is given that contemporary touch by the constructive intrusions from languages like Hindi, Telugu, Greek, Italian, Persian and most importantly English (naduvula konjam uttaks naina).

	Vishi's Difference between Tanglish and Madras Bashai (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		If you speak proper Madras Bashai in Thirunelveli or in other parts of southern india, they might not even comprehend a single word, where as tanglish is kinda the same in most parts of tamil nadu though it is prominent in only major cities and to great extent in chennai.
		Well Tanglish is usualy used by students (esp of the middle class and upper middle class and all girls of all class (just excluding mineemas)) :) and Madras Bashai in its purest form is spoken in the slums.
		As you cross the spectrum of economy you will find the transition from Madras Bashai to Tanglish eventually to only English, but saddest part is Tamil is missing in its purest form.

		Surili Rajan was a master of many dialects, but he dominated the Madras Tamil and distinctive Tamil spoken by Muslims (especially from the South).
