Tamil loanwords in other languages

Okay, kiddo! So you know how we have different languages in the world, right? And sometimes, when people speak one language, they borrow words from other languages to make communication easier.

So, Tamil is a language spoken in a southern part of India. Over time, Tamil words have been borrowed by other languages, meaning they have taken words from Tamil and added them into their own languages. This is called Tamil loanwords. Some examples of languages that have borrowed words from Tamil are English, French, and Dutch.

For example, the word "curry" in English actually comes from a Tamil word, "kari". And you know the word "pariah" that means someone who is an outcast? That word comes from a Tamil word that originally referred to a specific group of people, but was later used more generally to describe outsiders.

Tamil loanwords have become a part of many different languages, and they help make communication easier between people who speak different languages. It's pretty cool, huh?
