Tanittamil Iyakkam
Tanittamil Iyakkam (Independent Tamil Movement) is a linguistic purism movement which advocated to remove loanwords from Tamil language. Maraimalai Adigal laid the foundation for the movement in the early 20th century, and it was propagated later through the writings of Bharathidasan, Devaneya Pavanar, Perunchithiranar, and Subramania Siva.
