The Tamil Language
- Tamil is natively known as தமிழ் and belongs to the Dravidian, South Dravidian language family.
- There are approximately 78 million native speakers worldwide.
- Tamil is one of the oldest living languages in the world, with a literary tradition spanning over 2,000 years and Sangam literature dating to the 3rd century BCE.
- It is the official language of Tamil Nadu in India and an official language of Sri Lanka and Singapore.
- Tamil was the first Indian language to be declared a classical language by the Government of India in 2004.
- The Tamil script is an abugida (alphasyllabary) with 12 vowels, 18 consonants, and one special character (the aytham), which combine to form 247 compound characters.

- The Tamil-speaking community in Australia includes migrants from both India (Tamil Nadu) and Sri Lanka, numbering over 100,000 combined. Sri Lankan Tamils, many of whom arrived as refugees during and after the civil conflict, are concentrated in Sydney (Strathfield, Homebush) and Melbourne (Dandenong). Indian Tamils are part of the broader Indian skilled migration wave. Pongal, Deepavali, and Thai Pusam are widely celebrated.
About Acacia Ridge
Acacia Ridge is a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Acacia Ridge is 15 kilometres (9 mi) south of the central business district. The population in the 2001 census was 6648. Primarily residential, Acacia Ridge is also known for its heavy industrial area in the suburb's east, occupying much of the suburb's area east of Beaudesert Road. Acacia Ridge is home to one of Brisbane's few ice skating rinks. The suburb was established after the Second World War to house returning servicemen and their families. Many of the original post-war dwellings still stand today.
From 1966 until the mid-1980s, Acacia Ridge accommodated one of Holden's main vehicle manufacturing plants, producing full-sized models and smaller models including the Holden Gemini. Once production ceased of the locally produced Gemini, the manufacturing plant closed down. The manufacturer remained, retaining a small area of the site for its regional headquarters until the early 2000s, when it relocated to Murarrie. Since closure of the plant, Woolworths occupied the area, utilising its space as a regional distribution centre until recently, when an independent retail grocery chain resumed the site for similar purposes.
