Can anyone identify what tv programs this excerpt referring to?
Chennai-based popular comedy shows that poke fun at different Tamil varieties. On these shows, they usually have a guest speaking a widely recognized variety of Tamil(such as Chennai Tamil or Jaffna Tamil)and an other speaker translating it into a more “normalized” Tamil. Thus, rather than being a spontaneous occurrence, which she seems to imply, the Tamil to Tamil translation is part of the regular format of these shows.
Thanks.
