Abstract
Tholkappiyam is the first text in Tamil that proves Tamil is a classical language. This text is written by absorbing the ancient writing style and the words used by the ancient Tamils. This text is still living and it is the book of antiquity and perfection. This text is the pioneer for both grammar and music. Today’s use of grammar in music can be traced back to the root of Tholkappiyam. This article discusses about the phonetic theory, phonetic system, syllables, function of syllables, vowels, Tamil alphabets, calculations, short and long sounds, systems of Kalipaa and Paripaadal, internal hymns, verbal salutations, objective salutations and so on. This article clearly explains the contents, methods and news about musical instruments and musicians.
