Arabic or Tamil (Malyallam)
Initially after coming to Doha I was planning to learn Arabic. But now I feel that its more important to learn Tamil than Arabic. I meet daily around 95% Tamil and may be 5 % Arabic people.
All hotels/Taxis/shops you will find Tamils , so don't you feel its good idea to learn Tamil than Arabic.
perhaps, the people you have contacted all malayalies. they spoke to you in your lanuage (tamil) 'cos they know almost all languages. keralites play a key role in india's economic stability through HR.
The people you have met would not be tamils but Malayalis.
hai
only u r looking your concern may be tamilians more actually in doha nepali is more than other nationals and keralites in 2nd place any way u learn tamil very good and ancient language in world and some of countries having second lanuage tamil singapore.srilanka, malasiya,
thanku
There certainly isn't a harm in learning languages, is there? It would be more beneficial for urself in the long run. Gud luck..!!!
Hindi is the National Launguage of India, Malayalam & Tamil are two regional languages. As far as I know more than 25% of Qatar population are Indian and 80% of the Indian community are from Kerala/Tamilnadu, so its quite natural that you see a lot of Malayalm/Tamil speaking people around.
ye I too feel the same.. If you could speak Malayalam/Hindi most of the situations you can get along
and thats Malayalam
