I would like to comment on onething. As Maniy said to avoid threaten of the existance of tamil we should focus on young generation. But I wonder to what extend this would help. Just a small example. I know one tamil family. Parents want to bring up their kids- tamilians. Even they haven't introduce the word aunt or aunt to the kids. They stick to mama, mami. But once the kid went to the play school within a week now she calls her amma as mom!!! She loves watching tamil films and songs. But she feels comfortable talking in english. She likes to sing nursary rhymes. Because there are dvd's available in an attractive way. With good audio (music, voice)and video mixing. Rather than talking ramaayaNam, mahabharatham if we can release tamil albums for kids that's the easy way to make them learn tamil and live with tamil. Rather than parents teach/sing the 'paapaa paaddu' like in english if we have tamil audios videos that would do miracle. Because all like music specially kids. I can see they are crazy over tamil cinema songs even 2 year old kids try to sing 'thiraippadap paadal'. I don't such cd's, cassettes available for tamil kids. Should be available in tamil naadu. I don't the availability in nothern america.
