Before using the Term "Pure Tamil" first Define it. I Like Brahmin Accent
as much as I like the Kongu Accent with some Kannada Words or Kumari Accent
with Some Mallu words or Chennai Accent with Telugu/Hindi Words. Let all
Accents equally flourish and stand the test of Time without inter-mixing
further.

absolutely enchanting are these heaven sent voices.

Great songs!

Sunitha Reddy on January 23, 2013
wow! hats off for the song and the team members.i really loved it.

It is admissible that unlike most indian languages, where every letter
corresponds to one pronunciation, in tamil most alphabets are used to
represent multiple pronunciation. But for the alphabet ச, that comes in
'aasai'/'ஆசை', it has only two pronunciations (1) 'cha'(ச/च) (2) 'sa'(ஸ/स),
based on where it is located inside the word and who is using it. 'ச' is
never used now to represent the 'sha'(ஷ/ष) pronunciation. (contd.)

padmakumar r on January 27, 2013
``there are different dialects of Tamil...`` - regarding this so called
"sha" dialect, there is no such dialect as such existing in day to day life
among the tamils who live in any part of this world. Only certain
population in the karnatic music world use "sha" instead of 'sa', that too
only when they were singing tamil songs. But when they sing sanskrit songs
or songs written in any other language like telugu, they will take at most
care to pronounce words. (contd.)

wat a lovely voice both u have.!!!! very soothing...

Virender Gautam on February 06, 2013
Shanker Tucker is a revelation. His music is spiritually uplifting yet
intoxicating. Music has no language. It has immense healing power. Iyer
sisters are very good. May God bless Shanker, his sister & all his
singers/associates.

Brahmin Tamil dialect. Asai is also pronounced as aasai or even aachai
where the letter ச could sound like "s", "c" and "sh" according to the way
Tamils of different region speak. Thanks for popularizing this old song
again, my comment about the singers. They are cool and their voices are
soothing. Produce more we support you!

saurabh sharma on March 05, 2013
its just divine..i dont get when people start showing off either their
command in a particular language or in in somethin else...brother real
happiness will only come from appreciation and bhajan not by giving
unnecessary and useless arguements...:)

OMG.. addicted to this <3

sandeep vijayan on March 16, 2013
There are some moments (in life) where you can not distinguish between the
singer's and the listener's mind. The moments where listener melts in to
singer ...that's what I call music! and this is it !!

nithyakanna ram on March 20, 2013
seriously... singing it beautifully but the fact that your "aashai'' is
making it so hard to listen. It would have sounded so much better if you
had corrected. In the true spirit of bharathi..

Giridhar Venkateswaran on March 21, 2013
Brahmin slang exactly..it can be pronounced as aashai... pls don comment
without proper knowledge..!! the song and singers both are good ...n
soothing to listen to..

kriyababaji on March 22, 2013
Sorry to break the bubble, but i disagree with a majority of the people
here. not because i want to. I have listened to several versions of aasai
mugam and i could'nt find anything as endearing, lamenting or positively
melodious in this. no disrespect to the singers. their other songs are
better than this. But this one for me did not. i being a musician myself.
However the extrodinary thing is SHANKAR TUCKER. He as usual is amazing
clarinet in this rendition is smashing. top marks for him.

kriyababaji on March 22, 2013
Also right from the moment they started aa sai mu. gam (pa. sa. sa dha pa)
like playing a keyboard. that sa brought down to dha by connecting The
nishada and shaking it is what gives jeevan to the raga jonpuri for which
the great bharathi has set it to. that was if i have to be honest was a let
down. whereas SHANKAR plays his part beautifully. His playing had emotion
while their singing did'nt. it was too plain for my tastes. however this is
my opinion. no offense to the singers or the fans.

sneha sharma on March 22, 2013
Yes,you are right.My friend,who is an Iyer,pronounces it the same way.

Sheeba R on March 23, 2013
Nesam also

Mani Subramanian on March 31, 2013
I am a tamil Iyer grew up in Madurai. I don't think it is Brahmin Dialect.
This is what I call Diaspora dialect, somebody who grew outside Tamil nadu.
Even singers like Bombay Jayasree have issues in that department.

staysafeable on March 31, 2013
I believe that you're right. Thanks for clearing this too. I just can't
understand why some people think that it's wrong to pronounce the sound as
"sh" or "ch" for the specific letter ச.. Of course we have Grantha letters
for different sounds but for normal Tamil letter, it is the same letter for
the other sounds. Sometimes I pronounce it that way too : )

Sainudheen kalathingal on April 01, 2013
This awesome music brought me to the world of fantasy thank u sisters

It's not "slang", it's "dialect".

1337z0r4 on April 06, 2013
Good job ! :)

Sundararaman T on April 09, 2013
In Tamil, the pronounciation for "asha " is asai only. So, when one sings a
Tamil song, he/she should pronounce as in tamil only and not the equivalent
. .

babupuliyassery babupuliyassery on April 09, 2013
Nice Medly..

sandeep vijayan on April 11, 2013
How many Tamil dialects you know. Don't be stubborn that "asha" is only
"asai". Hope you have heard Kanyakumari Tamil and Sri Lankan Tamil.And
after all who are we to restrict music in the name of language, that also
such a song like this.

Sundararaman T on April 11, 2013
I am a senior citizen. I was bred, born and brought in Tamilnadu. Further,
I have studied History of Tamil Litereature in my Degree course in regular
college. Further, I have worked almost in all districts and I know all the
dialects.However, I am not for any further debates on this matter.
