Tamil, it's a language spoken in southern India and parts of Sri Lanka. It's useless though unless my character is from Singapore or Malaysia since there is a big Tamil community there. That's why I was considering Tenusa lol.
@Colin McCoire, can I have my iNPC join your family? I'm convinced to join.Lol, that's so true. I just say that I speak another language at home because some people don't even know that even Hindi exists.

So off to Ilvermorny Casey went!
Little did he know the McCoire bloodline had already spread as far as America
How many McCoire and their relatives are there, I know there's Colin obviously and Lily.
Colin, Liam, Lily, Cursa, Rigel, Aoife, Moira, Angus, Alex, Lorcan, Ciarán...
And probably a whole other generation of cousins I'm missing!
Ok, I might never run of RP partners here.

Not at all, I’m actually learning Tamil. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and Hindi, and I’ve always wanted to learn because my best friend speaks it, and it’s a really pretty language.Denise Yarbrough wrote: 5 Apr 2026, 16:58Laurie Holmes wrote: 5 Apr 2026, 16:54And then when I tell them I speak Hindi, they look at me like there’s something wrong at meDenise Yarbrough wrote: 5 Apr 2026, 16:51Laurie Holmes wrote: 5 Apr 2026, 16:49You know what happens sometimes?

It's impressive to have many people though in one family though.
That's better than me though. I'm only fluent in English lol.Laurie Holmes wrote: 5 Apr 2026, 17:00Not at all, I’m actually learning Tamil.

The difficult part about Tamil is that the written and colloquial version are kinda different, especially because the Chennai dialect is basically an abomination with English and other influences in it.
I'm trying to be fluent in French though, but the French speaks too fast I'm impressed though. I can read and write it ok.
