Surprising similarities between Tamil Nadu and Korea! Story of a legendary Indian Princess 

I am from tamilnadu. So happy that they finally spoke about it 😭😭

im gonna add Korean in my resume as speak-able language .

Congrats who is from Tamil Now they don't need to learn Korea, you are very lucky😭

15 years ago, my cousin & my aunt were Korean Drama addicts and I kept telling them that the language sounded like Tamil and everyone at home thought I was talking nonsense. And now, I can show them this video

If Buddhism can travel from India to Japan. Anything is possible.

Subject "India" Indians - WE HAVE BEEN SUMMONED

Some of the other similarities between Tamils and Koreans are Food & Dishes: 1) Pongal - Yaksik 2) Oorukai - Kimchi 3) Pidi Kozhukattai - Songpyeon 4) Oputtu - Hotteok Art, Music, Games: 1) Ariro Ararariro - Arirang (Sung as lullabies for babies) 2) Kummi - Ganggangsulle 3) ila vatakal - deuldol deulgi Traditions: 1) Tamil Traditions - Korean Shamanism Traditions (Similar) 2) Manivizha - Hwangap 3) Nadukal - Koindol Women, Fashion, Beauty: 1) Pottu - yeongjigonji 2) Nethi Chutti - Jokduri 3) Poo jadai - Dodeurak Daengii Other Similarities: 1) Twin Fish Symbol (Ancient Pandiya kingdom Flag - Korea Twin Fish symbols) 2) Woman Diving Mermaids - Jeju - Rameshwaram Although these are just a few among a lot of other similarities, the two cultures and people have definitely been connected since ancient times when we look at the striking similarities which would only be possible by close ties and cultural exchanges. We need to fund more in this area of research. I suggest @KOREA NOW to investigate more into this and do a Tamil-Korean series with more followup videos.

Iam from India, Tamil Nadu ,kanya kumari And very happy to hear that Korean is similar to tamil.

Even I'm from Tamil Nadu ...even I have read about this in my history book while I'm in sch now I'm 1st year University student and I love korea

*Even if I'm not from Tamil Nadu, I'm still proud that there's a significant historical connection between India and South Korea. I'm a Bengali and I like the culture, traditions, language, food and music of South Korea. Not to mention, I'm a BTS ARMY since 2017!🥰🙆🏻‍♀️💜🇮🇳🇰🇷*

Some similar tamil words and their meanings: Naal - Day Naan - me Nee - you Ulla va - come inside Pul - grass Paampu (bam) - snake Vaa - come Amma - mother Appa - Father Aariro(ஆராரோ)Thalatu - Lullaby for baby (Similar to Aarirang song in Korean) Akkachi - elder sister (southern slang) Ammani - Calling a girl with respect (coimbatore slang) like ommoni in korean Aiyo - Aigu Sandai - Fight Yean - why Anni - sister in law Athae - that's it (or ) yes in tamil Thae or dhae is yes in korean I guess... Arivom - To know (similar to aaro in korean) Ingu - here, Ithu - This (in korean igu means this ) Aay - child (in olden tamil Eg : Most of tamil goddesses have 'aay' in ending like Maariaayi (goddess of rain)) Pun - sore /wound Kattayam - must do Manam - Mind (mauem) Pal - teeth (ippal) In tamil we cry like "appa" when got a wound or feel a pain Konjam konjam - a little (like joguem joguem in korean) I do tamil versions of kpop and it's really amazing to find similarities between tamil and korean language...🤩💜✌ Tamil has more connections with other languages also like Japan and tamil has similarities with grammar,similar with cameroonian and Australian aboriginal language, Mayan language, English has many etymological backgrounds with tamil... Eg : Pyramid - பெரும் இடு (big graveyard) Anaconda - ஆனை கொன்றான் (elephant killer) Candy - கண்டு (கற்கண்டு) Molecule - மூலக்கூறு Button - பொத்தான் (பொத்தி வைப்பதால்) ..etc Edit: Mommy I'm famous 😅Thanks for the likes 😇✌

I got hurt when a North Indian song was played at the end when this video was supposed to be about Korean and Tamil. No hatred towards any language. It is just annoying when the social media always thinks of North India and confuses distinguished languages like Tamil with Hindi.

That's a really interesting story! I'm just a Brazilian who finds Asia an amazing continent! Haha I've been to Tamil Nadu and had unforgettable moments at the Brihadisvara Temple.

Who are all here from tamilnadu.??beacuse I am tamil nadu girl .but I love South korea .one day I will go there. .

I'm from Malaysia, which has a sizable Tamil population, so I have experience listening to Tamil speech and movies, although not speaking it myself. When I heard Korean for the first time, I thought, "Why does this sound like Tamil?" Now I know why :P

When she says WE ARE RELATED WE ALL ARE ONE i am so touched and I am so happy that they spoke about this and feeling proud to be Tamilan💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Yes, you are right.... The Tamil princess is get married to Korean king.

Me being an Indian is feeling sorry for not be able to speak Tamil :,-)

தமிழின் புகழ் உலகெங்கும் ஒலிக்கட்டும்.வாழ்க தமிழ்

Im pakistani-American and most of my family speaks urdu or punjabi, but I’ve always loved tamil and korean and thought they were very beautiful languages. I was so shocked to learn how similar they are!!!

Tamil is not just our language...it is our culture..it's equally respected to our mother. Proud Tamilandaaa..!!

As a malayali, i can really relate to this And yes almost all mallus know tamil

Tamil Army !!!!!!.Finally This topic is Out in Korea Now 🇰🇷 😭😭😭😭

Absolutely fascinating. My parents are from Kerala (the state right next to Tamilnadu). I always noticed that the Korean language was the only other language that used the same words for “mother” & “father” as my uniquely South Indian language.. This had me curious. Now, I’m stumbling on this video.

No one: Literally no one: ARMYS from Tamil Nadu:Being the happiest ever in the whole world 😅🤗

I'm A Telugu Person (Indians will get it) .. I'm so happy For Tamil People.. So proud

தமிழ் மக்கள் இருகிங்களா❤😍 Kdrama fans like pannunga😍💥

The relationship between korean and tamill is true, but people in india(northies) are just claiming that queen Heo Hwang-ok (seembavalam) belongs to ayodhya,but the truth is the queen Heo Hwang-ok belongs to tamil nadu, where we have many cultural similarities between us. FUN FACT : tamilians are the first in india to do trade by sea and travel across the world through sea!

Finally someone spoke about it 😭 I am from Tamilnadu too.. being a BTS army and kdrama addict, most of the times I wondered about the similarities between the two languages.. and sometimes about culture too..

And one more importance similarities is our people sing aarao aariraro song for babies and it's also same in Korea also😱

IT REALLY TOUCH MY HEART WHEN THEY SAID "WE ARE RELATED , WE ARE ONE" CAUSE NOT EVERBODY AGREE ABOUT THAT

3:20 - "Chapathi" is also 'Chapati' in Swahili. And 'Amma' is 'Umma' in Maya. MANY of the tribal languages, mine included, can be traced back to Tamil. Wonderful!

There's a phrase in Tamil "Yaadhum oore yaavarum kelir" it means "To us all towns are one, all men our kin" #borahae

I want the friendship between India 🇮🇳 and S. Korea🇰🇷 to continue like this forever. 한인도 우성이 이렇게 영훤히 계속 되길 바래요.. 💜

Being a Malayali who shares its root with Tamil history, I feel proud. And as the Korean lady rightly said, we are the world❤

how lovely to see two different nations 🇰🇷🇮🇳sharing one language and culture🥰 greetings from 🇵🇭

I'm from Malaysia, theres a large population of Southern Indians here (Tamil speakers), when I first watched Boys Over Flowers (Korean drama) and heard Nobody song by Wonder Girls, I really thought Korean sounded like Tamil

Finally someone found the truth that ayuth is a old kanyakumari. Happy about that

Kanyakumari is once called as Ayuta Which is a district Of Tamil Nadu, located Southern most end of India .which was once ruled by a king under Pandiya daynasity who were the strongest rulers of Tamil Nadu and spreaded all over the world as well, The ruler who roled Kanyakumari under Pandiya dynasty Married her daughter Princess of Kanyakumari to the Prince from Korea, There are still some historical witness that a princess from Ayuta has a brown skin tone and came by a ship flagged with a fish emblem on it (which was the symbol of Pandiyas) and packed with wealth and golds and servents to serve on the way, Still now some Hindu gods are worshipped by Peoples of Korea...This history was forgotten by tamilians and the rights was stolen and celebrated officially by others who don't deserve it, who have behaviour of stolling the rights of others States , thought the title was with the other people officially At least I'm happy still some Tamil family and Korean relatives Still recognise the bonding😌....

허황옥 왕비님이 인도에서 오셨다는건 알고 있었는데 정확한 지역이 다를 수 있었네요 여기 댓글에 한국을 좋아해주시는 인도분들이 많이 보이는데 감사해요! Thank you for loving korea! We love you too india❤❤

Tamil : Apram (next) Korean : apuro This also similar word 😳

"Seembavalam" is the Tamil name (செம்பவலம்). Aay Nadu is the Tamil place.

This is an eye-opener for the world how people can get along and respect each other

தமிழர்களுக்கு எல்லாம் இடத்திலும் சொந்தக்காரங்க இருக்காங்க..நா விரும்பும் மக்களில் ஒரு நாடு கொரியா....நீங்கள் எல்லோரும் எங்கள் உறவினர்களே..என் பாட்டி சீம்பவனம் மூலமாக வந்த சொந்தங்கள்...proud of tamizhan...

I speak Tamil. I had a Korean roommate in my college days when I was studying in Singapore. I learnt from him about the similarities of the two languages. Koreans are such humble people.

Because almost 2000 years ago, AD 48, A Tamil princess went to Korea with hundreds of her servants. She married to a Korean King and became a queen of Korea. This is why.

The more cultural knowledge we seek, acquire and understand the more we realize how closely we are related. From Tamil Nadu, India, I love my Korean brothers and sisters.

There’s also: - “oh no!” korean: aigoo!! (legit any South Indian language): aiyoo! - “I/Me” korean: na (tamil/kannada/telugu): na EDIT: okok let me just change “aiyoo” to indian languages in general 😂 i’m not a language expert, sorry

Thankyou Queen Heo Hwang-ok for bringing India and Korea closer

What's make you happy? Me: someone mentioning India and Korea together. 💜💜

In ancient times " kanyakumari " was called "Ayuta" the exact kingdom which your Korean princess mentioned . The present " Ayodhya " may sound similar but the old name of " Ayodhya" was " oudh or saketa" the name ancient name was changed to Ayodhya in between of 17th century

Tamil kings had travelled all over the world and they had ruled many parts of the world ... No surprise in language matching with korea

When he says beautiful word called 'amma' ,it touches my heart❤️☺️☺️

My Vietnamese colleague used to wonder why I would talk in Korean to my parents in India, when in fact we were chatting in Tamil! Incredible similarities even if it’s just words and not sentences or grammar!!

I was thinking that Korean people think that Indians means like talk Hindi but I am so happy that you are talking about Tamil ..

I'm from tamil nadu And I'm really really proud Finally they spoke and told the untold truth🥺

This shows haw many are tamil here 👇

I'm from South India but not from Tamil Nadhu. I'm from Andhra Pradesh. Kimchi is known as pickle in India . We have many similarities in foods, culture, language. I'm also BTS ARMY. Lots of love from India to Korea.... 💜

I have yet to learn Tamil I am happy for our culture touching so many people around the globe ❤️ ॐ

Soo proud to be born in Tamil Nadu 😁👍🏻

All credit goes to the Thamizh princess and Korean queen SEMBAVALAM and King KIM SU RO💖💞💗💓❤️

The kimchi in Korea is also similar to pickle in Tamilnadu as a food..

You know one thing tamil is mother of malayalam.... ❤️ love from മലയാളി kerala.....

I am a malyali and I say Tamil is our ancient mothertongue. The princess is actually from Kanyakumari in ancient times it is known as ayu.Ayodhya is not the place she is from because in ancient times it is known as saketa . And the real name of the princess is Sembavalam a Tamil name. When she was dying she insisted her children and the people should address their mother as amma .In Tamil amma means mother.When Tamils celebrate pongal Koreans also have a Similar festival on that day. This is my reasearch hope it helps you.👍

Example: It's written 'நான்' (pronounced as 'naan)' in Tamizh and written '난' (again pronounced as 'naan') in Hangul (Korean) which deliver the same meaning: I/myself

I am from kerala Tamil is the Mother of my Mother - tongue 😃 Chera Nadu 🏹

I am a Tamilian living in Tamil Nadu, India. Recently I started watching k drama series.. I have also seen Tamil Korean similarities you tubes. After.watching the K dramas, i find we have lots of similar family culture, social habits, food habits etc. I am a 50 plus woman. Hence I see many similar family culture. The 2K kids may not pick them as this generation is more westernised.

Thank you very much Korea for voting for us in the UN....from Tamil Nadu India 🇮🇳.

My only wish People should know that Tamil Nadu is related, not Ayodhya Many are misunderstanding that way

After seeing this Me - * proud tamil A.R.M.Y * Edit: now I hate being a person on this earth

Iam also the tamilan 💜타밀나두와 한국이 연결되어 있다는 사실을 알게 되어 매우 기쁩니다💜💜✨.

We tamil people .... Of Tamilnadu... Southern state of india..... respect and love so much Koreans

So tamil army 💜 we still have a chance to marry our maama's 😂 fighting

I am not from South India, I am from West Bengal but I am still so happy to know that India and Korea has an ancient relationship😍 Edit: tysm for the likes😀

Awww😭😭 proud to say I'm tamilan 😭💖love from kannya kumari , Tamil Nadu 😭💖

As a Kerala Malayali (state near Tamil nadu) I can understand everything and guessed it right🙂. Yo I am *RELATED*

100% connection with Tamilnadu only.😭😭😭 I ❤ Korean peoples.

⚠️⚠️⚠️So for those who guys questioning how koreans are connected to tamilians (people from Tamil Nadu) here is the real history behind the similarities of korean and a tamilan..... So back ages of Sangam era there lived a king called Pandia who had flag with fish symbol , those days trading was at its peak , so at the same time there was a growing kingdom in korea , the Pandian king inorder to develope a good relationship with korean kingdom he send his one of the girl child (age16) to korean king Kim Suro as a symbol of gift, her name is Seembavalam( in tamil) and in korean they call it as Heo Hwang-ok, also known as Suriratna queen ...she gave birth to 12 childrens and those childrens were taught similiar words of tamil language (what you saw in video ) ... FUN FACT :- More than six million Koreans trace their lineage to Queen Heo. This is the real back story of the similarity between a Tamilan and Korean

Our India is a special country,how North Indian lenguages are connected with western countries and that's like South Indian languages are connected with Eastern countries ,I am proud to be Indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Surya Ratna is a wrong name given by Indian govt, her name was Sembavalam. There is no proof to support the name Surya Ratna.

At first I was so shocked that most words mean the same and sound the same . Korean is a very exciting language to learn 😌👌

I'm from Kanyakumari ❤️ Proud Kanyakumari and proud tamil

I'm really disappointed because north Indian government intentionally steals tamil history..😒😒😒😒 even little kid also understand similarities between tamil and Korean culture and languages.. I'm not proud to be a indian ...🙄🙄

Suriratna is more like a tamil name than a north Indian name... So,most probably, she'll be from Kanyakumari,which is the boarder of South Indian States, Kerala and tamilnadu...

" Hotteok " also it is reminding of our RM, The way he loves Hotteok 🥺💜

Also The Independence day of Korea and India are on the same Day. Its Related and somewhat a Coincidence by itself 😁👌🏻💛

I‘m from Sri Lanka and I speak Tamil as well and we are kind of related to Indians so that means we‘re also related to Koreans and it‘s just so shocking to see those kinds of similarities

I’m from Tamil Nadu, but I live in USA now. I am fluent in Tamil and I have Korean friends, so sometimes, I would say words and sentences in Tamil and they’ll try to guess what it means and same goes the other way. It’s really cool. The pronounciation is slightly different, but it’s basically the same. The alphabets are different, but some of the words are very similar or the same.

Even if i am not Tamil, but I still like the fact that we are related!

Some words are similar to Malayalam ....as Tamilians and Mallus are siblings.

Happy to hear this 😍😍😍 as a tamil girl from k.k

That Korean girl : I can speak tamil guys... Lee me from Tamil Nadu : I can speak Korean guys...😅😅

This video : is about Tamil and Korean Hindi song in background : "I'll ignore that"

한국어와 타밀어는 훌륭합니다. 우리 타밀인들은 한국을 사랑합니다. 한국인 만세. tamil korean relationship long live

It feels like I'm the only one from Kanniyakumari 🥲🚶‍♀️

Me from Tamil Nadu: YESSSSSSSSSSSS ME also an ARMY: So Bangtan are my brothers. 😏

மொழி வெளிப்பாட்டையும் அன்பையும் உலகம் முழுவதும் பயணிக்கும்படி உருவாக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ spread the ☮️

I heard archieologist found two fishes symbol in her tomb, that is the symbol of Pandiyan south kingdom in South India

Tamil and Korean languages , cultures are quite similar because of Tamil princess Seembavalam was married to a Korean King . Then her name is changed into Hwang Heo Ok . If want to know more search about Tamil Korean queen .
