Dear All,
I am providing the translated version of the Tamil Text below.
It was a lecture delivered in connection with the program organized by V.S. Kulandaisamy Trust (a noted academician and thinker) presented by Mr. Tamilaruvi Manian, (which means, "a person with fluency in Tamil just like a waterfall") a member of the Planning Commission in Tamil Nadu, under the title, "Salute to TAMIL."
To truly understand the message, one should first know about the letters and alphabets of Tamil. Tamil consists of 247 letters classified into 3 groups:
1. Uyir (Soul) or in other words "Vowels."
2. Mey (Body) Letters with a dot on them (They can't be pronounced individually).
3. Uyir Mey (Soul & Body) a letter derived by joining a Mey with Uyir.
Furthermore, these 247 letters are classified into another grouping called "Mellinam" (soft letters to speak), "Idayinam" (medium-neither soft nor hard), and "Vallinam" (hard to speak).
Now, let's delve into the message.
The word "AMMA" is used to refer to Mother and the word "APPA" denotes Father. Both words consist of three letters in Tamil. The first letter is "A," a vowel (Uyir), and the second letter "M" or "P" is Mey (Body), while the third letter is "MA" or "PA," Uyir Mey - signifying both Soul and Body. This implies that both our Mother and Father are the individuals who have given us this body and soul.
Moreover, the only difference between Mother and Father lies in the letters "M" and "P." The letter "M" belongs to "MELLINAM" in Tamil, indicating that the mother is soft-natured, while the letter "P" belongs to "VALLINAM," suggesting that the Father is typically a strict person, relatively stronger than Mother.
I have endeavored to translate this accurately without altering the original text's meaning. Corrections or enhancements are welcome. Farewell!

Dear all,
You have done fantastic job over the translated the Tamil Article in English and also thanks to introduce the same. The article is marvelous which is defined the amma and appa.
I want to connect and continue this topic with our states language. All we knew that India is only one country in the world where is many languages. In the point of view, you would find similarity in every language like; amma, neer, jal, etc - tamil, kanad, telugu, malyalam, hindi, haryana, mharati, orria, punjabi, other, These language are looking as a brother and sister and family.
Why do we not accept and understand this fact that we are all Indian. We have to respect each other. If someone coming from other state, whose know how much they have problem? Why they are here, why are they away from their family, infinite child, old grandmother and father?
Why Mharati said, go back Bihari to Bihar, UP, etc.
Don't make difference I or you. – Always say we
Don't call Bihari, Madrasi, UP, Punjabi, - Always Say Indian
If you don't believe on this, please make a visit to our Indian village and rural areas, they are struggling to get once time food. It's all still happening in India after 50 years. I know whatever I am saying useless because every knew,.
My request is only one from you; respect everyone like and learn from Indian Languages
Regards

Sir,
Thank you for sharing your comments. My intention in posting this message is to share how we can interpret the words "Amma" & "Appa" (Mother & Father) in our mother tongue. It is simply about understanding the significance of these words, which are often the first words spoken by a baby.
Please refrain from assuming that I am dividing our country by language. In fact, my wife's mother tongue is Telugu. Let us appreciate our differences and continue living together harmoniously as we currently do.
I am merely highlighting the beauty of the Tamil language, which I wanted to share in this forum. Please take it in the right context. I am eager to hear the esteemed comments of our group members.

It is really great! I am giving the translation here below for the benefit of other members who want to understand the real meaning.
Tamil alphabets have two sets. One is life letters - 12 (uyir ezhuthu) and the other is body letters - 18 (mei ezhuthu). The composition of both uyir and mei ezhuthu becomes uyirmei ezhuthu (e.g., 'a' (as in 'addition') is a Life Letter, 'm' (as in come) is a Body letter, and 'ma' (as in command) is a combination of life and body letter (im + aa = ma).
Hence the word "Amma" in Tamil denotes Mother, in which you can see a life (A) and a body (im) combine to make a living body (ma) i.e. a + im + ma = amma (MOTHER).
Hope I made my best efforts to translate. Please give your comments on this.
