The People’s Linguistics Survey of India provides an overview of the extant and dying languages of India. It is the culmination of a nationwide survey of languages that has been documented by linguists, writers, social activists, and members of different speech communities. The volume documents the languages prevalent in the state of Tamil Nadu. Critically, the book encapsulates the world view of the speakers of the discussed languages.
Apart from dealing with the detailed study of the scheduled languages such as Telugu and Malayalam, that involves the discussion on various linguistics features as well as the literature, The Languages of Tamil Nadu brings to the readers a certain wealth of information on Tamil, as also the languages spoken by other speech communities like Saurashtri and Tanjavur Marathi. It also documents the languages of the tribals like the Irula and Toda and nomadic communities such as Narikkuravar, out of which, most are on the verge of extinction.
