Tamil (தமிழ்) is a Dravidian language, from the language family of South India, spoken in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, and also Sri Lanka and Singapore, where it is an official language. It is written in the Tamil script: it has 12 vowels and 18 consonants, and a dot above a consonant (pulli) shows that it has no vowel. About 6.9 crore (69 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
Marathi (मराठी) is an Indo-Aryan language (Indo-European family), descended from the same roots as Sanskrit, spoken in Maharashtra, where it is the official language, and Goa. It is written in Devanagari: each consonant carries a built-in "a" sound, other vowels are added as signs (matras), and a line across the top (shirorekha) joins the letters of a word. About 8.3 crore (83 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
How Tamil and Marathi compare
- Tamil is written in the Tamil script and Marathi in Devanagari, so the translation changes the script as well as the words.
- Tamil is Dravidian and Marathi is Indo-Aryan: the grammar and most everyday words differ, although both use words that come from Sanskrit.
- Both usually put words in the order subject–object–verb, with the verb at the end, which keeps sentences close in shape.
