PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Identity. Culture. Community.
The story behind it
Three words that THIS IS TAMIL is all about: Identity – knowing where you come from. Culture – language, stories, food, music. Community – standing together, wherever in the world you live.
And the last letter of தமிழ், ழ (zha), is a sound that exists almost only in Tamil – even the name of the language holds something unique.
The design
- Front: large print “THIS IS TAMIL”, தமிழ் and “Identity. Culture. Community.”
