Respected Sir/s,
TONGUE....जिह्वः, जुबान నాలుక, நாக்கு ,ನಾಲಿಗೆ,നാവ്
The word TONGUE derived from the Old English tunge, which comes from
Proto-Germanic *tungōn.. The ue ending of the word seems to be a
fourteenth-century attempt to show "proper pronunciation".
The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth. The tongue is covered with moist,
pink tissue called mucosa. Tiny bumps called papillae give the tongue its rough
texture. Thousands of taste buds cover the surfaces of the papillae. The
tongue which is the large bundle of muscles (8in numbers) in the mouth
that manipulates food for chewing and swallowing. It is one of the organs of
taste. Much of the surface of the tongue is covered in taste buds. The tongue
assists in forming the sounds of speech. The Tongue Is the Strongest Muscle in
the Body, next only to Cardiac Muscles. It can bend, it can twist, it can suck,
it can cup. The tongue is an essential, often playful part of human anatomy. It
is not only very movable, which allows us to speak, suck or swallow in a
coordinated way. It is also a sensory organ responsible for tasting and the
most sensitive place for our sense of touch. In addition, the tongue contains
many cells of the body's defense system, and even plays a major role in body
language.The tongue plays a role in physical intimacy and sexuality.
A healthy tongue should be pink and covered with small nodules (papillae).
One can sense five different tastes—sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and savory. We
taste these five flavors differently because the tongue has five different
kinds of receptors that can distinguish between these five tastes.
நாக்கு ஒரு நோய் காட்டும் கண்ணாடி!!!! One would have noticed while
visiting a doctor, asking to protrude the tongue. Precisely,the tongue can tell
a lot about ones health. For example, a black and hairy looking tongue can
signal poor oral hygiene, or diabetes. If tongue is bright red like a
strawberry, it could signal a deficiency in folic acid, vitamin B12, or iron. A
red (not dark pink) tongue could indicate as something as simple as a B vitamin
deficiency. Scarlet fever, eczema, and Kawasaki disease may also cause the
tongue to turn red. Brushing he tongue can prevent potential problems of the
oral cavity such as tooth decay and periodontal disease, improves breath.The
presence of bacteria on the tongue can lead to bad breath. Brushing the tongue
on a regular basis can remove such harmful bacteria. The tongue begins to
develop in the fourth week of embryonic development from a median swelling –
the median tongue bud and takes 5 weeks to fully develop.
The average length of the human tongue from the oropharynx to the tip
is 10cm. The average weight of the human tongue from adult males is 70g and for
adult females 60g.The tongue receives its blood supply primarily from the
lingual artery, a branch of the external carotid artery. There is also a
secondary blood supply to the root of tongue from the tonsillar branch of the
facial artery and the ascending pharyngeal artery.
Sticking one's tongue out at
someone is considered a childish gesture of rudeness or defiance in many
countries; the act may also have sexual connotations, depending on the way in
which it is done. However, in Tibet it is considered a greeting. In 2009, a
farmer from Fabriano, Italy, was convicted and fined by the country's highest
court for sticking his tongue out at a neighbour with whom he had been arguing.
B.MOTHER TONGUE: The term "mother
tongue" refers to a person's native language — that is, a language learned from
birth. Also called a first language, dominant language, home language, and
native tongue . The reason it's called MOTHER TONGUE Is because the passing
down of customs, tradition and language of a people is majorly the duty of the
mother and less of the father.
Mother tongue refers to the first language learned at home in childhood.
C.TONGUE QUOTES:
- We have TWO Ears and only ONE Tongue
so that we would LISTEN more and T.a..L...K..less.
- The pen is the tongue of the mind.
- Fire and swords are slow engines of destruction, compared to the tongue
of a Gossip.
- The tongue should express what is in the heart.
- Dayananda Saraswati
- Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage.
- LIZARD sticks its tongue out because that's the way its listening,
looking and tasting its environment. It's its means of appreciating what's in
front of it.
- All parts of the human body get tired eventually - except the tongue.
- “A woman's weapon is her tongue.”
- நரம்பில்லா நாக்கு நாலுவிதமாகப் பேசும்...''எலும்பில்லா நாக்கு எப்படி
வேண்டுமானாலும் வளையும்...'
D.TONGUE TWISTERS:
Tongue twisters are phrases, which have similar
sounding words in a repetitive sequence. They aid language development, boost
vocabulary, and are a lot of fun when recited together in a group.
- I Scream. I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream!
- But a bit of better butter mixed with this butter might just make my bit
of bitter butter better.”
- கிழட்டுக் கிழவன் சடுகுடு விளையாட, குடுகுடுவென ஓடி வாழைப்பழத்தோலில் வழுக்கி
விழுந்தான்.
- கருகும் சருகும் உருகும் துகிரும் தீயில் பட்டால்.
- கொக்கு நெட்டக் கொக்கு; நெட்டக் கொக்கு இட்ட முட்டை கட்ட முட்டை.
துப்பார்க்குத் துப்பாய துப்பாக்கித் துப்பார்க்குத் துப்பாய தூஉம் மழை. | குறள்
எண் – 12
E. SLIP SLIP OF THE TONGUE: means... something that is
said by mistake. It also means ... to say one thing but instead say something
entirely different. It commonly happens when while one is talking but can also
occur when typing or writing something down — and even in your memory (or lack
thereof). Errors in speech and writing are common, and for this reason. This
term is closely related to an earlier one, “slip of the pen,” which dates backs
to the 1650s; the idiom “slip of the tongue” became popular sometime around
1725.
- PM Modi has faced ridicule for getting Mahatma Gandhi’s first name wrong
in his NY speech.in 2014...inadvertently referred to as ‘Mohanlal Karamchand
Gandhi "
- At a rally in Kanpur on April 18 2014, Modi said, "Akbarpur ki bhoomi par
BJP ke ummeedwar Rajaram Pal ko vijayi banana hai". Pal happened to be the
Congress candidate.

TONGUE (NAAKKU)
Dearfriends,
Tonguehas two specialities. One is that it is flexible muscle. 2nd one isthat
it is the only muscle connected at one end.
Inchild hood days we were advised to clean the tongue using flexible Earkil
(coconutrib). If Earkil was not available the mango rib was used to clean the
tongue.Cleaning of tongue gives more clarity in speech. On those days if speech
is notclear, teachers used to advise to clean the tongue well.
Nowwith Covid 19 all wear masks, and if what talked if not heard clearly, it
iscommon to lower the mask and talk now.
Early1955’s metal and fibre tongue cleaners appeared in the market which were
bestsuitable. They were flexible and moreeasy to use. Though tooth brush with
tongue cleaning action added at one side came,still for best cleaning metallic
tongue cleaners are preferred. Though toothbrush is available in all shops,
nowadays very few shops are having tonguecleaners. It is a practice to keep two
or three as spare in homes.
Onthose days with a hole in tongue cleaner, it was attached to tooth
brushthrough their holes at end. It was a common scene people coming to bathing
gnatwith towel, soap dish, tooth brush with tongue cleaner.
Todaywash basin stands or special shelves or box designed for keeping such
items areused.
RecentlyI read tooth Brush and tongue cleaner should not be kept open in the
attachedbath rooms with toilets. These closed shelves solve the issue of
bacterialinfection. Many tooth brush comes withouthole in the handle now.
Awrite up about tongue.
Sincerely,
GopalaKrishnan 27-11-2012
Reposted on 17-7-2021 after editing andupdating.R.Gopala Krishnan.
1. Kavi kalidasa.
Ihave read about the kavi Kalidasa was a shepherd and he used to pass through
aKali temple and worship. A legend aboutKalidasa is approximately as follows.
ThePrincess of a kingdom was forced tomarry the illiterate shepherd by the
foul play of some learnt men in the court.The princess understanding he is
illiterate, asked him to worship in the nearbyKali temple. One day while
worshiping a query came from inside- Purratthu aara?(Who is out side?)
Theshepherd answered – dasan, He further enquired who is inside.
Kalihas answered as Kali, and asked him to extend the tongue through the
window.Kalidasa did so, and Kali wrote with her thrisul on the tongue
something. Thenon wards vakdevatha appeared to him. He became a knowledgeable
person and poetKalidasa.
Kalidasakrithikal was a lesson in Malayalam while studying in 9th standardor
so. Abhinjana Sakuntkalam, Kumara sambhavam, Mayura sandaesam, Rithusamharam
etc were told in paragraph in the lesson as I recollect from memory.
2. Vak vaibhavam.
Toquote the words of Sri Perinkulam, it is a VARAPRASADAM for a person to
talkfluently on subjects, write scripts or poems etc. Automatically words and
ideasmight come to them. There is a saying in English- Some people bring
happinessWHERE EVER they go. Just change the words WHERE EVER with WHEN EVER
the entiremeaning changes to the opposite one.
Peoplewill be eager to hear certain people’s words. But certain people will
alwayshave tough words.
Thisis with our group also. Some members are interested and eager to read
somemembers postings. They would be impatiently waiting for the posting to
appearin mails. Some are allergic to respond in positive though they read, but
happyto criticize.
3. Nakkila
Thegrowing end of plantain leaf is like a tongue. A leaf cut from the growing
endis called Nakkila.Nakkila is used in all auspicious functions. When our
sasthrikal prepares listfor auspicious functions, he would write- Nakilai oru
dozen…
4. Ponnum thenum kodukkal
Itwas a practice to give the newly born infant a small drop of honey adding
amicro size gold powder got by rubbing and addedon the tongue
Nowour doctor’s opinion is not doing so, it can cause indigestion of infant.
5. Aayus nooru (Good longevity)
Iffew people are talking of a person and in a minute he comes, in Malayalam it
istold- Ippo paranju NAKKU eduttthae ullu.. Meaning just now we have talked
ofyou. You have longevity.
6. Nakku kondu Mookil thodamo?( Can youtouch nose with tongue?)
For98% people it is not possible to do so.Unless the tongue is lengthy and
more flexible it is not possible to doso. So, when some practically
impossiblethings are told, it is compared with this action
7. Kari nakku kondonnum parayalle
(Somepeople having black line should not talk in auspicious things)
Mosthave no marks in the tongues. But a few have black marks. If they talk
ofsomething it might happen. Though it can be told as superstition, many times
ithappens. So such people are warned not to talk inauspicious things.
8 Nakkintae neelam( Lengthy tongue )
Somepeople exaggerate and tell things, some will talk unnecessarily on very
smallpetty issues blowing it like a balloon, some people will remind always
ofthings one try to forget, some people always of pinching nature. These are
all told bad natures of the tongue.The exaggerating type of people is told as
having lengthy tongue.
9. Nakku adakku( Control tongue)
Thisis used in two occasions, one to control speech. The other to control
intake ofliking or delicious or tasty things when medically warned.
On Karthigai deepam auspicious day, womenlight ghee lamp for the well being
of her brothers. ( At that time we should not talk anythinginauspicious about
her brothers, IF AT ALL ANY. It is not the occasion . We should talk good of
them.
2ndsweet appam is prepared, adai and Pori. I am a diabetic. Just because it is
atime to consume as much appam, I should not eat without control. I
shouldcontrol my tongue and LIMIT to maximum 3 or four.
10. Tongue and Nose
Tongue along with nose decides the taste. I read itelsewhere, not the tongue
alone can decide the taste. The smell also attributesto it.
11. Dog will drink water with tongueonly even from sea.
Thisis another saying mostly talked about the mean nature of people. Depending
onsituations there should be some changes in nature of all of us.
12. Kuratthi nakku arutthalum kudamrandu kasu ( It is firm, the price of mud
pot is 2 paisa)
Itis another saying told using the word tongue. The mud pot seller is telling,
ifat all my tongue is cut , the pot value is firm.
13 Sarkarakudathi kayyittal nakkathavarundo( Whether there is any person who
would not lick their hand after putting inliquid jaggery.
Itis a natural tendency to lick the hand on tongue after putting it in
liquidjaggery without wasting the portion remaining in the hand. The saying is
usedto mean in a wider sense , people may make use of occasion without wasting.
14. Misuse of tongue
Thebiological purpose of tongue is to assist in chewing and swallowing,
producingsound and talk etc. For infants it is for sucking the breast milk also.
Unwanteduse of saliva as paste or wetting a pasted item to make more adhesive
byapplying saliva etc are least hygienic. Many are tempted to do such things.
Itappears highly uncultured to do such things while in a group.
15. Nakkil narambu illatha samsaram (No nerve in tongue)
Aperson having no kindness and talking hard is said to have tongue without
nerve
16. Fierce Goddess
Normallythe fierce goddesses are shown extendingtheir tongue out side.
17. Silent man
Thesilent man is often asked- where is your tongue. On many occasions
guiltypeople will remain silent to make the situation calm.
Somepeople also offer as fast keeping silence. No use of tongue.
18. Gayathri recitation
Itis told the gayathri has to be recited making minimum use of tongue
almostsilently.
19. Itching in tongue
Iam completing my nakku puranam with this. Itching while eating something
isfirst felt by the tongue. When a person desires something to express
andcontrol, he used to say- Nakku choriju varunnu. (I am controlling my
itchingtongue)
