Endangerment of Sourashtri- Some doubts and suggestions needed
We all know that the Sourashtras of Tamil Nadu and southern India came from the area of modern Gujarat and the then land of Saurashtra. But now this language is EXTINCT in that area- (Vide :the Linguistic Survey of India Vol IX)
What may be the reasons?
Will there be completely no speaker of this tongue anywhere in the areas between Gujarat and Tamil Nadu? If so why?
In Tamil Nadu we, the sourashtras say that we are losing the usage of this tongue.
Is it true? If it is true what reasons can be adduced to this situation>
Can the Govt Come to the rescue to rectify this drawback? If so, in what ways the Govt can help these people.
