Abstract

Bharathi was the one who came to refine this world with his singing talent. He showed a new way to high Tamil who showed good manners. He stepped into the world of journalism at a time when nationalism was floating in Tamil Nadu. He was a multilingual scholar. Apart from his mother tongue, Tamil, he was proficient in English, French, Telugu, and Sanskrit. However, he compares Tamil with these languages and praises it as a superior classical language. Bharathi, who was born in the southern part of Tamil Nadu as a moon, came to protect the pride and heritage of our culture and to remove the darkness of slavery. He came to practise this because of singing. He used the Tamil language as a weapon to oppose the white man and as a flower for the people. Language is a tool of communication. There is nothing special about it. Its special ability is revealed in the one who handles the language. Pavendher, while referring to Bharathi's language, has mentioned that Tamil was qualified by Bharathi because he enriched the Tamil language with his poetry. The work will affect everyone who reads Bharathi's work. A Tamil will forget himself and become attached to the Tamil language and the Tamil nadu. In the hearts of the enslaved people, he raised the voice of struggle for the freedom and rights of the individual. His linguistic personality is the reason for such pride. He extols the pride of the Tamil language by saying, "Among all the languages that I've known, there's none as sweet as Tamil." This shows his attachment to the Tamil language. The goal of this investigation is to show how his attachment to his mother tongue has revealed language personality in his works.
