Abstract
Tamil is the oldest language among all world languages. It is an ancient language, and its origin cannot be defined. It is a language that excels in literary grammars. When looking at the history of Tamil literature, many literary genres have emerged according to time, context, and political backgrounds. Literature tells the stories of people's lives. It relates to grammar in Tamil, and literature itself becomes grammar. Tolkappiyam is a book that exemplifies the grammatical system of the Tamil language with distinction. Letter, word, subject matter, prosody, and rhetoric—these five are dealt with in the book Tolkappiyam. There are many books that arose after that ancient, proud, and complete book of Tolkappiyam. This article examines how grammar in literature has gained prominence through the book Tamil Vidu Thoothu.
