Talk:Loanwords in Sri Lankan Tamil

message: In this list I had linked to Sri Lankan Tamil dialects. They are 
* Jaffna
* Batticaloa
* Negombo 
Because these have published literature on these are considered to be traditional Sri Lankan Tamil dialects.  Colombo Tamil has no published literature yet(?), it is most probably a code switching mixed language like Madras Tamil and Bombay Hindi. Upcountry Tamil is an entirely different dialect based on some regional Indian Tamil dialects, no published literature or is not considered part of this list. Hence including these terms will be cosidered original research which is not acceptable in Wikipedia.   
Although I understand the users rational for adding words like Nona, Mahathaya, Vesak, Poson, Pansalai to this list. It is from the Upcountry Tamil dialects, hence a different list. SL Tamil dialects do not use these terms except on rare occasion when LTTE named one of its regional leaders Mahenthira as Mahathaya. Mawathai,  Nona, Pansalai, Poson, Salu Salai has no attested usage. Sarvodayam, Malu Panis, Poya yesRaveenS
:: Just because a word is rarely used that doesn't meant it does not exist in the language. Mahattaya, Nona, Pansalai, Poson and Salu Salai are used in Colombo Tamil and among Upcountry Tamils who live in Sinhalese-majority areas. Clozapine 09:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  So you're saying that terms used in Colombo Tamil cannot be considered as Tamil? Then why should terms used in Jaffna Tamil and Upcountry Tamil be considered Tamil? Clozapine 03:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  No, if I've understood them right, they're saying that the dialects of Tamil spoken in Colombo and the Hill country do not belong linguistically within the Sri Lankan subdivision of Tamil dialects, and loanwords used in those dialects therefore should be listed not in this article but in an article which deals with them specifically (e.g List of Sinhala loan words in Colombo and Upcountry Tamil). Perhaps the easiest way to settle the issue is to look to how the term "Sri Lankan Tamil" is used in academic literature? -- Arvind 14:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

message: May I suggest that this article be translated into Tamil and placed into that language's pedia?  You need to know Tamil to understand it anyway.  Putting it in Sinhala might not be a bad idea either, if anyone has that knowledge.  Tyronen 21:25, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I am a native speaker of Portuguese, but I do not recognize the word tombu. I guess it could stand for tombo, but I do not see how that could relate to "title". Unless what is meant is tomo, and even then it seems a bit of a stretch. This should be checked. FilipeS 19:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In one of the references it says it is derived from Tombo from archive to store. Land titles were archive or stored in the colonial Kantor or office thus the natives called the titles from the word to archive or store such titles RaveenS 13:57, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: 1. piṅkāṉ: is not piṅkāṉ a loan word from chinese??
2. vaṅki: what proof is there to say vaṅki comes from banco?? i can see no connection!.
I think the word vaṅki is a pure tamil word, meaning where they take and keep your money.
i.e "vangi vaikkum iddam"
: Looks actually more Dutch to me. "bank" with lenition of the b --> vank with paragogic vowel insertion --> vanki. If the source had been Portuguese, we would expect vanku, since the pt word is banco, pronounced [banku]. But this goes into OR. Jasy jatere (talk) 09:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The article presently gives Portuguese calças (trousers) as the etymon. However, phonetically calção, which currently means "shorts" and could have earlier meant "trousers", too, seems like a more plausible source for the word. This should be checked. FilipeS 21:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Word      	Meaning	Original form
koiappalam	guava  	goiya
Hi. Goiya does not look like a Portuguese word at all. My suspicion would be that the word should be goiaba (or goiava, same thing). See the Portuguese Wikipedia. But this needs to be confirmed. FilipeS 18:19, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The words Sarvodayam and Tuvaku cannot come from Sinhala language. Sri Lankan tamil is part of Dravidian Language and Those above said words are from Malayalam. Its simple fact These words came from Malayalam. Even the words Kulusai for tablets and Kasera it known as Kathirai in Sri lankan Tamil are in Malayalam. --Arunantamil (talk) 15:58, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
