Excellent info vandayar avargale. Mikavum nandri.
Liberty is my religion. Liberty of hand and brain -- of thought and labor. Liberty is the blossom and fruit of justice -- the perfume of mercy. Liberty is the seed and soil, the air and light, the dew and rain of progress, love and joy.

Great info F.S Gandhi vandayar. Can you please validate the following info:
I remember reading long back, that some of the greek words have no roots in greek language itself, and that they point towards tamil for their origin. Some popular greek words that I remember...
terra - land - Tharai (தரை)
Aqua - Water - Akkam (அக்கம்)
Tele - distant - tholai (தொலை)
And it seems the word Rice also owes its origin to Tamil. See the link below:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...f_Tamil_origin
Code:
The English word rice is borrowed from the Greek word "oruza" ((μαγειρ.) ὄρύζα) which is similar to the Tamil word அரிசி arici and telugu word Vari referring to paddy . This strongly indicates trade between ancient Greeks and ancient Indians in region of Southern India. The OED's etymological analysis, for example, is now well over a century old and the field has advanced a good bit since then. In relation to the etymology of rice, linguists in the 1920s categorically ruled out the possibility of a Tamil origin arguing, inter alia, that there was no direct contact between the South of India and the Greek-speaking world in the 4th century BC (see e.g. Jules Bloch's "Le nom du riz", printed in Etudes Asiatique, L'ecole Francaise d'extreme orient, 1925). Of late, it is well established that there were in fact significant trade links between India and Greece at that time, and several newer scholars take it for granted that the word entered Greek from Tamil (e.g. John Thorley's 1969 piece "The development of trade between the Roman Empire and the East under Augustus", printed in Greece & Rome, 16:2 at pp. 222).

Tamil and Arabic
The Arabic word "Waaris" (وارث) means “Heir”. I have always wondered if the Tamil word "வாரிசு" (Waarisu) came from that! Well, may be the case, if the word is not found in ancient Tamil literatures dated prior to 10th century AD.
The word "Aelam" (عالم) in Arabic which means “World or Universe”. Sounds very similar to Tamil world "ஞாலம்" (Jnaalam) which also means “World or Universe”. This word finds a place in Tirukkural which means it was is use in Tamil Nadu even before the arrival of Arabic. It will be worth finding out the occurrence of equivalent words in other languages, especially other Semitic languages.

After Some time, may write about Arabic words which have direct & shrinked roots of tamil.
Many scholars are taking care about only direct words. They always fit tamil grammar into the word evolution and word comparison which shall not fundamentally suit in word archeology. They can only find direct words.
But, naturally dialect shrinkages & phonetical aspects only help new language formation.
Dear Tamizhvanan,
Greek & Latin words-most of them have only tamilroots. Most of the present English words roots through greek / Latin can be traced to tamil.
Thiru. Gnanakiri Nadar's book on tamil roots in Greek & Latin shall give some light.
NVK Asraf have mentioned some words. But I find most of the Arabic words have tamil roots.
For example,
frequenetly used words of Arabs :
English-Arabic-tamil pattern :
I know- 'Ana arif' - Naan Ariva
Your box - Intha santhuk - Unthen chanthu (petti)
Come - ThaaZh - Vaa / Thaa
100 percent true - Miya Miya - Mey mey /Norukku nooru
Throw - Ermi - Eari
Tight - rakkap - Thiruku / Irukku
Beat - Aththeen - Adi
top - Foke, alae, Arapha - pokku, Alai , Appal / Appa
Waste way - kalli Vazhi - Kazhi Vazhi (Kazhi Vazhi turned 'kai veli' -a place for wastes in chennai tamil)
And goes on. I may write about this after some time.
