Tamil Thai
Tamil Thai, which means "Tamil mother," is the personification of the Tamil language as a mother figure. The concept was first introduced during the Tamil renaissance movement of the late 19th century. It became popular after the publication of a song praising Tamil mother in a play titled "Manonmaniyam," written by Manonmaniam Sundaram Pillai in 1891. The song was later adopted as the state song of Tamil Nadu.
