Answer 1

A very difficult question. Remember each language has it's pros and cons. Tamil has official status in India(Tamil Nadu, Andamans and Pondicherry), Malaysia, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Singapore. It is the first Indian language to be declared as a classical language by the government of India in 2004, followed by Sanskrit.The Tamil script consists of 12 vowels, 18 consonants and one special character, the āytam. The vowels and consonants combine to form 216 compound characters, giving a total of 247 characters.

Telugu is the most spoken Dravidian language,The second most spoken language in India after Hindi, and the third most spoken language in the Indian sub-continent after Hindi and Bengali.

Telugu is highly influenced by Sanskrit .Though Carnatic music has a profound cultural influence on all of the South Indian States and their respective languages, most of the songs (Kirtanas) are in Telugu language. The second most spoken language in Tamil Nadu is telugu.

In Tamil Nadu the Telugu dialect is classified into Salem, Coimbatore, and Chennai Telugu dialects. It is also widely spoken in Virudhunagar, Tuticorin, Madurai and Thanjavur districts. Subramanya Barathiyar has praised telugu in a tamil song.Also Known as Mahakavi Bharathiyar.

" Sundara Telunginil Pattu Isaippom". Meaning we will sing the song in beautiful telugu.Though he loves tamil so much,he accepted telugu as a sweetest language.

As you see each language is special in it's own way. Now pick your poison

Answer 4

I think the whole topic is wrong!! You should compare tamil with sanskrit... the way you comparing tamil wit telugu is like comparing mother and daughter.... remember one thing before talk about tamil... never talk bad about ur mother..... maatha pithaa guru theva. and who said that tamil don't have enough alphabets... many sanskrit words translated from tamil words...so what's your problem......... tamil always the best!!!
