Government of Tamil Nadu in the context of Tamil Thai
Tamil Thai (alternatively spelled Tamil Tai or Thamizh Thai), known in English as Mother Tamil, refers to the allegorical and sometimes anthropomorphic personification of the Tamil language as a mother. There is a temple located in Karaikudi. This allegory of the Tamil language in the persona of a mother was established during the Tamil renaissance movement of the latter half of the nineteenth century. The concept became popular in the Tamil-speaking world after the publication of a song invoking and praising Tamil mother in a play titled, "Manonmaniyam", written by Manonmaniam Sundaram Pillai (1855 – 1897) and published in 1891. Under the auspices of the DMK, the Tamil Thai Valthu, with music composed by M.S. Viswanathan, has since been adopted as the state song of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
