Topic: Tanglish

	Ganesh Kumaresh May 2005
		In our society we generally see conflicting elements get together to almost become a confluence.
		It is like wearing jibba and jeans, it is like having idli, sambar, vadai and pizza, noodles on the same day, it is like talking Tanglish.
		It is like having a reception before the marriage ceremony; it is also like using an electronic tampura and the traditional tempura on the same stage.

	RiverRatRanger: Understanding Tanglish
		I assumed that Tanglish was the Tamil language converted to English form by using the English alphabet, much as modern Vietnamese is. I was wrong.
		Apparently Tanglish is a patois made up of Tamil and other languages mixed with English.
		One website carried the interesting comment that Tanglish is not taught by parents to their children, but rather by children to their peers and used to communicate in code to keep parents and other adults from understanding what the rebellious youth are saying to each other.

	Vishi's Difference between Tanglish and Madras Bashai (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In Tanglish, it is the tamil language which takes the hit and the english words are pronounced with the same pronounciation.
		In tanglish sometimes you can make out the Tamil words easily but in Bashai it is really difficult and Bashai has its own Tamil Vocabulary, which is hard to find in other parts of the Tamil Nadu.
		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.

	Madras bashai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some observers consider "Tanglish" to be distinct from "Madras bashai", in that "Tanglish" is considered to be English with Tamil influences and loanwords, while "Madras bashai" is considered the opposite.
		Madras bashai is however not a type of Engrish, since it is not the result of trying to speak English correctly and then failing.
		Using these forms in formal situations or with strangers is considered very juvenile, analogous to using emoticons in a high school essay.

	Madras_bashai (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Madras bashai is also known informally by some as Tanglish.
		Usage of these forms also carries the risk of getting the speaker tagged as a Peter or a Mary (one who pretends to talk only in English, in situations where it is not necessary), even though genuine Peters and Marys may not use them.
		This practice may be considered Tanglish more than Madras Bashai by observers who distinguish between the two terms.

	Indian English (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The distinct evolution of regional variations in contemporary usage has led to terms such as Hinglish (Hindi + English) and Tanglish (Tamil + English).
		These terminologies are often referred to in a humorous, self-deprecating way, but at times they also have a derogatory connotation, with each region or stratum of society having fun at the expense of others.
		Hinglish, Tanglish and other unnamed variations are particularly capitalised and made popular in the field of advertising.

		Tanglish is suddenly in with advertisers in Tamil Nadu.
		ANXIOUS VOICES cry out that the Tamil language will cease to exist in another five years or so, unless immediate steps are taken (so says a UNESCO finding).
		Tamil in English —; Tanglish — is pretty much on every ad-man's mind as he tries to give international products a local feel.

	Hybrid Tanglish Hurts English Advantage in Philippines \| IT Business Edge
		But experts are wondering how much longer the Philippines can claim the top skills in English necessary for call center work when it appears that 75 percent of the country's college graduates have "sub-standard English skills," according to the European Chamber of Commerce.
		The influence of pop culture and domestic media is pushing "Tanglish," a combination of the native language Tagalong and English.
		Because so many Filipinos are speaking this hybrid language, their English skills — and call center talent — are suffering.

		Satellite channels and FM radio use only Tanglish as it is fashionable.......in some cases the mix of english words in their programming is as high as 50 / 60%.

	Black Dot On A White Board
		Move over archaic English, for there is stiff competition from Hinglish (Hindi + English) spoken throughout the country seamlessly, Tanglish (Tamil + English) which is the local favorite or to simply give a generic term to all these formats- Swinglish (Software Engineer's English).
		The HR of the various companies (mostly IT industry based) in their eminent wisdom make sure that any project would contain members of starkly different demographical profiles, who can represent the diversity in our great country.
		So having grown up speaking Hinglish, Tanglish, Telinglish, Malunglish or any other member of this family, people come into a team and slowly but surely create this version that contains 60% English, 25% Hindi and 15% local language.

	Post Comment
		In the course of such a huge transformation, people forget the original word in their respective languages.
		And the upcoming generation is therefore exposed to more and more English words and the contribution of English to their Tanglish only increases.
		It is sad that people like me don't even know how to read and write their own mother tongue!

	In search...: On the other side of - not the fence - the camera!
		I'm talking about my experience last weekend, when I had to do a shoot with Doordarshan for a talk show on mental illness.
		Since I'm rather fond of saying things first, and anyway this comment is bound to come up sometime, let me say it, "appropriate choice of speaker!" Well, wisecracks apart, i had to speak in Tamil, or rather, Tanglish, since the organisers insisted a mixture of Tamil and English.
		I have given talks entirely in Tamil before, so it was not THE challenge.
