message: One of my friends Ishwar actually explained the meaning of the term saavugraaki. He says, it is actually saavukku + girakki. By calling one 'Saavugraaki', the person means to say, "irritation or annoying"
Rather the association can be Saavu- Death Graki - Grahak- Customer. Something like "Mauth ka saudagar"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.1.116.69 (talk) 12:45, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

1. I havent come across profanity of such a magnitude that warrants deletion. But again that is a  subjective thing. Please use your discretion and give preference to the authenticity of the words involved.
2. The influence of Urdu hasnt been given its due. Please add more on this topic. I also saw some of the 'Urdu' words being wrongly referred to as 'Hindi' (e.g Tamasha, Nastha). This needs correction.
3. I checked this up: dubbaku(r) is more 'a shady character' than a mere 'liar'.
Words added: a-haan, appaala, dum, etta, gilfans(u), jalsa, meyaluma, pista, voodu kattrathu
Words modified: baadu, bittu, ghalij, pheelings
Words to come: jutis, jute-u, nijaar, phant, philim, sok-ka, shokka, usaar

thread_title:  10 popular words 

message: This article depicts a form of Tamil language in detail, and that form called the "Madras Tamil" is also associated with humour, all types of audience will be interested in viewing it. In the vocabulary example and the usage part of the article there are words along with their meaning that are vulgar. This "one of a kind" article can be shared more and confidently included in chain mails, links and etc. only if these vulgar words are removed. For the completeness of this article, there can be another page created that contains the list of bad/vulgar words used in Tamil language. I need comments and POAs to resolve this issue.
: I agree. We need to remove patently bad language/swear words. This article is punchy enough without such language. ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 23:12, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The fact that all Tamil phrases in this article are transliterated in an ad-hoc fashion is sure to cause untold confusion to people who don't speak Tamil. I am going to work on rectifying this situation as soon as possible.

thread_title:  Terrible transliteration! 

message: I've removed the long (and unmaintainable) list of words and phrases. This removes pretty much all the OR, since the grammar writeup originally was based from a quoted external link. Notability - see List of dialects of the English language, the list of "Lishes" at the end. For those who don't know, Madras Tamil, Tanglish and Madras Bashai are equivalent terms in this context. -- Brhaspati\talk/contribs 03:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The sole so called reference quoted in this article was infact, a dead link to a source which anyway seemed non-notable and wouldnt have passed reliable source clause.  Removed the link and tagged the article again.  And please dont point to other articles which are themselves OR or have may blue links in them which again are tagged for OR etc.,.

message: The word "Jilpa" needs to be added. It means "Udhaar Vudradhu" (unnecessarily showing off without any substance) Can somebody do some research on its etymology?
Krish Ashok
The etymology of this word "Jilpa" can be traced back to "Thengai Srinivasan" and followed by "Chinni Jayant". Further more used by lyricists like "Gangai Amaran". I don't think the work can be narrowed down to "Udhaar Vudurathu" alone. Its colloquial. It can be used for anything in general. Like in the song.. "Ini jalsa pannunga da, gujaala jilpa kaatungada". It doesn't need any explanation. But requires a place in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.222.96.4 (talk) 16:04, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jilpa 

message: I will not say that this article is not notable...
Madras Tamil, is one of the dialect of Tamil... just like Srilankan Tamil.
May be we can have a page like List of Tamil Language Dialects and add these two into it?
Regarding.. OR, Yes.. this page is full of OR.. a clean up is required.
Please tell me your views,
I'll be removing the notability tag after 5 days of this message.

thread_title:  Regarding Notability 

message: The list of examples has grown to such an extent that, this page becomes more like a Madras Tamil dictionary and less of an Encyclopedic article.
An encyclopedic article should not contain list of examples, but should illustrate how a slang is gets changed. I prefer removing the complete list of examples from this article. What do u ppl have?

thread_title:  Examples list 

message: I fail to see why this article would not meet the criteria for notability. There are articles for varieties such as Yorkshire English, Verlan and Brummagem, which are probably spoken by less people. Furthermore, there are articles on other mixed systems like Russenorsk or Media Lengua, so I do not see why Madras Tamil should be less notable than those.
As a sidenote I would like to point out that one of the advantages of the internet and wikipedia is that people can contribute knowledge of local facts, in this case Chennai dwellers about Madras Tamil. We must not forget that publication of dialect surveys is mainly a Western developed world business. As a matter of fact, there is probably much less material on all Indian languages together than on all British dialects together. Should this mean that wp should continue to underrepresent non-Western languages and cultures? Certainly not. I would therefore suggest to interpret WP:NOR less strictly for topics dealing with local matters of developing countries where very often academic sources are scarce
Still, I agree that this article definitely needs further editing for quality Jasy jatere 11:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
