    Hi crazy,

    Thank you for the well wishes and the question. I can aslo say a few words of Telugu, Malayalam, Sinhalese and Maldivian. As for Urdu and Punjabi. Being that I know a fair bit of Hindi, naturally, I am able to understand a bit of Punjabi and Urdu. Also, I can read and chant quite well in Sanskrit and can understand some Sanskrit words. As for Belgium, I do not know anything, with the acception of a few words of Ukrainian, Spanish, French and German, of the languages in mainland Europe as I never really took any real interest in learning them. I am more into the major languages of India and Sri Lanka. I can also read the scripts of Sanskrit, Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Sinhalese and Maldivian.

    Dear crazy,

    It is okay. I do not mind you asking these questions. You can contact me either here or via PM.

    Of all the languages I mentioned, I especially like Tamil and Sinhalese. Do you know Sinhalese language?

    Crazy,

    AayubOvaan means "may you live long". My interest in Tamil came from seeing and hearing about it on TV, in books/newspapers, going to the temple, talking to people and reading about it on the internet and I feel very strongly in my heart that I was aTamil in Southern India or Sri Lanka(most probably) in previous births.
